Why are Guards so good but Pgrens are so average?
Why is the Ost mortar so good but the USF mortar so average?
Why is the PAK so good but the USF At gun so bad?
Guards are too good.
Ost mortar got nerfed, USF mortar got range increase
A 70 range atg it not bad, the captain tech is lackluster (or LT too good, take your pick).
Units being too bad, or too good should be balanced, not kept in their artifical state for "reasons".
Else you get the current brits.
Furthermore, OkW already suffers vs support weapon spam while having lackluster support weapons (with the exception of the vet 2 rak that becomes OP). Keeping the mg34 below every other mg (yes that includes the maxim) without reason seems weird to me especially considering the power of the 50 call, or the insanity of the vet 1 vickers/mg42 (or my maximspam).
Every unit should be viable to use, not something you "have" to get in other to get something as fundamental as suppresion or garrison clearing (looking at you wasp).
As is, the mg34 is barely functional and pales in comparison to every other mg.
Giving it actual damage would go a long way of correcting that.
