Both the LeiG and Pack Howi should just be mirrored to one another in cost and performance. I don't know why they gave the large AoE one to a faction that fights 4 men and the small AoE one to the faction that fights 5-6 men.
Both can have different vet, but I don't see any reason for them to vary so wildly in wipe potential and whatnot.
Basically to say in Technical Terms:
-AoE on both to 4; damage at near 1, damage at mid .5, and damage at far .25.
-Scatter on both to to angle of 6 and distance of 7
-Suppression is an activated ability that gives each 50% less damage but each shot nets you a decently large AoE net and the damage spread over a larger area. Basically air burst shrapnel I guess?
-White Phos on USF, equivalent on OKW. Could just say the LeiG uses mustard gas shells or w/e since Germany didn't use Whit Phos
-Crew on ISG Bump to 5
-Both have 100 range standard
-Both cost 420 MP
There, done.
Disagree. I like the LEIG having longer range but the pack howie having greater aoe. They should not have identical stats imo. Other tweaks may be required however (IE: LEIG price to 400MP)
