MG42 TOO STRONK OMG AXIS BIAS NERF NOW!
MG nerfed :
OMG FLANKING USELESS AXIS BIAS NERF NOW!
Buff lmg/introduce elite infantry to punish blobbing :
OMG SUPER DPS INFANTRY RAPES MY BLOB! AXIS BIAS NERF NAO!
how is this related?
did anyone with sane mind complain about nerfed mg42 when it used to pin squads in milliseconds?
flanking was useless because small arms did such little damage and since march 2014, it has been tweaked and general opinion is that it was a giant step in the right direction. only problem is obers wiping at guns and 1v1-ing HMGs frontally.
i don't think buffed lmg and elite infantries were added to punish blobs. gren lmg got nerfed over the course of the game life cycle.
