That's the truth,

Maxim is a noob friendly joke that rotating faster than a LMG42 Gren, any noobs can just A move that shit, annoying like fuck, and losing it doesn't need to give a fuck.

MG42 is more likely a trap that need something else luring the Reds into it, definitely more skill is required, and losing it to Soviet is a real pain in the ass. That's why top German player don't even bother to get one. It is not cost effective, suppression cannot bleed manpower, but getting one more Gren instead can. Wonder why the east MG42 is so inferior than the west.


Example situation:
Maxim moving and see a Gren in front, press stop and set up, Gren suppressed
MG42 moving and see a Cons in front, press stop and set up, Cons oohwa, MG42 is fucked

and Maxim spammer is very likely to spam more and more maxim, making a good Gren flank is almost impossible, by the time you can get 222, Zis is on the field already. The high crew number of Maxim can make them a useable weapon to gain a lot of area. MG42/Osttruppen/251 was used to be able to do the same, but the stupid high cost of Osttruppen now making this less effective than pre patched.

Try this: put 2 PG squads with shreks into the halftrack. Try to create a diversion so the ISU 152 cannot see ur ht when u flank it. If u can get behind it with the ht it only will last a few seconds.
I tried this several times and it worked because the ISu is very slow and even more so if he has his scope enabled.
Most players panik once they realize what is happening, making it even more easy for u to get the kill.

You should never go sniper when facing T1. Both the M3 and sniper excel at killing it. The german sniper is better in all other areas though.

Also grens excel at long range giving them good damage versus sniper at almost all ranges, unlike cons who will usually need to charge a sniper, Grens usually do a lot of damage if they stay focus fire on it as long as they aren't in green cover.

You also have people on this page saying that they are equally OP which I find very disagreeable. If we Nerf the ISU like it deserves, we will have to think carefully about what the Elefant will be like in games. If we get ISU range adjustments then we should rightfully reduce Elefant range - they're basically a package deal there. But if we keep ISU range and just reduce it's damage profile a bit to reduce the probability of one shotting squads, I'm not sure the Elefant would need any adjustment to compensate. The ISU would still be an extremely powerful and long range tool useful against all enemy unit types.

Sweeping proposals like adding lockdown abilities, reducing range, increasing scatter, reducing damage of the Ele all going in one big patch are something I vehemently oppose because of how unpredictable it will be on the landscape of the game. We do want to change the 2v2 meta by making alternate strategies more viable. But we have to be careful not to rock the boat too much without thorough testing.,
