I'm not going to be picking sides here.

However, Necrophagist is right to point that the example posted is flawed
- This has nothing to do about the Maxim being OP
- This has nothing to do about MG-42 being UP
- This has to do with the positioning of MG-42 and how AoE suppression works in the game (it's bugged as hell)

To give you an example:
- If your MG is firing at a model that is outside cover, all nearby squads will become suppressed/pinned very fast
- This is because AoE suppression only takes into account the cover of the targeted model.

This gets even worse. In the following example I managed to pin a Volksgrenadier behind green cover in 3 bursts. How? By aiming at the King Tiger, of course (high target size, no cover = loads of suppression)



PS: I don't think that ANY MG in the game can pin stuff behind green cover if all models are behind green cover.
PS2: In this example the maxim won because it was behind Yellow cover, while the MG-42 was behind (effectively) no cover.

The facts are these:
-Maxim is in yellow cover. That grants it -50% received accuracy.
-MG42 is in green cover (which also gives -50% received accuracy), but the models being shot at are not in cover, which makes the mg42 team effectively have no cover.

This example is bad, can you let it die with dignity?

The weather changing on Hamlet hurts my eyes really bad.
