Can someone link to a replay or stream of someone beating decent MG use in a 2v2? I don't need to hear about how 2v2 isn't manly enough because it isn't 1v1... I get that. I play about half and half, and the tactics required for each are totally different. When you can't just go around them and cap other parts of the map like 1v1, what do you do? Play defensively? Hope they leave it unguarded? Rush in with a clown car so it can get fausted? I enjoy playing 2v2 with my friend, and seeing every game start out with 4xMG42 (2 each, obviously) is frustrating us both. Once they get you with the initial suppression, they just have to keep walking them up and covering each other with their mile wide radius. Flaming clown car comes out at almost the exact time as the .222 scout car, then it's all downhill from there.
I use 120 mm mortar (or a couple) when opponents go MG42 heavy in 2v2 mode recently and I am having some success. The game is pretty static for a while but I can cause some manpower losses and destroy Germans fortified positions. This will let me to catch up and tech to T3/T4. After that MG42 role is meaningless.
