Which I think is fine since they are pretty easy to kill. It rewards keeping them alive.

haha, I didn't know that could happen. Ramming Tigers in general does not seem like a good idea anymore.

1. PROBLEMS:

A) MG42 soldiers take too long to flank/force retreat with conscripts

B) Unlike grande in COH Molotov is not consistent in killing them/forcing retreat

C) Firing range/arch is massive

D) suppression is too effective/fast against everything including units in green cover



2. SOLUTIONS:

A) make small arms fire more effective against them, especially in close range

and/or

B) Make Molotov more effective

C) Reduce firing range a little

D) Adjust suppression so at minimum suppression/pinning is not so instant and factor in cover

E) Maybe consider reintroducing the Fire Up! feature from COH1 and provide it to shock troops



3. Germans are supposed to be played defensively until later in game, but with the Grens, PG, Scout car, and especially the MG42 they are dominating the game so early.

TLDR:


2. Solution:
Reduce the sight range of the HMG crew from 35 to 30 (or 28/27ish). This means that if someone is moving squads in carefully, they can soft retreat, initate a flank, call in smoke and/or pull in more squads.

3. Comments:
This change would reward cautious play and situational awareness on both sides. HMGs would be the support weapons behind spotting infantry while being slightly worse when on their own. Infantry approaching the HMG can evade it.
If this change is added, the sight range bonus and Blizzard negation should be decreased, too. At least for HMGs but could also be a part of making buildings weaker in general.
For the Maxim, they could have 30 sight range all around but 35 sight range in their cone.

TLDR:

4: Problem 2, MGs too effective on their own:
MGs are too effective when on their own. They deal a lot of damage and can capture territory so you don't need many supporting units in the beginning of the match.

5: Solution:

Decrease the DPS of the weapons that can cause suppression but increase the damage multiplier of non-suppression weapons (or just certain ones). Currently, most weapons deal decreased damage (about accuracy*0.25 for many) against suppressed squads.
Increase the modifiers (e.g. to accuracy*0.66). To achieve the damage reduction of the MGs, decrease their damage multiplier vs. suppressed targets (e.g. to 0.33 from 0.25) and slightly increase the suppression of the Maxim to compensate (and bring enemies quicker into suppression state).
Also make them capture slower (e.g. 75% or so of normal squads).
