thanks for clarifying milka. i guess it would add a whole layer of confusion and complication. what do u think is the best solution to prevent blobbing?
I honestly think that all hmgs except the Kubel could use an aoe suppression buff. Not a huge one but a little something. In CoH 1, if you walked your rifles face first into an mg, they were all suppressed almost immediately. In Coh2, it's not uncommon to see two infantry squads side by side approach an MG and the one being shot is suppressed while the other just moves to the side a bit and "flanks" the mg. Hmgs are meant to be blob control units and currently they generally aren't amazing at it unless you do a lot of manual targeting in which case the blob often has time to frontally decrew the gunner.
