Posters above have already made this point, even supporting the mg doesn't help much because unlike coh1 the attacking squad won't take enough damage from the supporting unit before it can molotov the mg and still turn to fight the second unit.

In Coh1 there was no rifle oorah and teching grenades had a serious cost elsewhere in your abilities in the early game.

The MG42 needs to be slightly meaner. As I believe this is going to happen I'm not too worried about it.

So you want to say that now we have multiple viable strategies?
Current meta is cons/gren spamm all the way. It`s hilarious that you actually try to make a point about something. MG 42 is a support/suppression unit meaning it supposed to support not be supported. If they buff the suppression ( not the Damage) I don`t see how it changes the fact the you should actually Flank it and not oorah into its face with 1 or 2 conscripts. Ideally you should use 1 conscript as a meat shield and get suppressed and the second one should oorah out of the cone of fire of the MG42.
At the moment you can`t do that against a maxim. Only way to actually dislodge it is A. Lucky nade that will obliterate the crew. B. have a gren to come from behind the maxim ( again the sov player must have his attention somwhere else in order for him to stay long enough so you could get close to him).

Ive read every post on Central since launch, and for real, as biased as some Ost fanbois have been, they cant hold a candle to the extreme extent and form of Sov whine, also how deliberately Sov fanbois fuck up balance discussion, either by derailing with irrelevancies or stonewalling it with L2P arguments.

I dont know why that is, or what causes it, but that is my informed conclusion.
As many completely biased Ost fanbois that have made an ass of themselves, you can triple that easily when it comes to irrational Sov ones.

Take it from me, with 2.2k posts and having read everything that has been posted here since launch, the blatant extents sov fanbois are prepared to go to, is way beyond what the few Ost fanbois have. No competition or comparison really.

Balance discussion should be about improving the game, not forcing your own priviledge at any cost. Especially not at the cost of unilateral balance.

Inb4 someone tries to claim me as Ost fanboi, when infact I have supported many buffs to Sov, and nerfs to Ost.
If you didnt know that, that just means you missed it, not that it didnt happen. Currently at 21 Sov matches, and I will stick with Sov till 100 matches, as I have 100+ Ost matches. So fsr nothing in my Sov play has countermanded my earlier observations about unilateral balance. Infact, they have only reinforced them.

MG42 easily fails to counter even a single Con in its arc for reasons I explained above.

No one wants it to be an "invincible 1man army", lol, talk about who is exagerrating?
Its not even 1 man. Its 4 man. (Two man less than Maxim).
Nice misreperesentation!

MG42 is unable to perform its wide backline supression role currently.

I laugh at it every time I see it as Sov. I own the hell out of it with a single Con.
I dont even need M3s, Mortars or Snipers which are supposed to be its primary counter.

1 Con is all I need.
