why do i keep reading allies mg always get nade in the face, ie poor suppression.
i don't believe mg42 and other mg have that big a difference in suppression that you can get nade in the face.
mg42 does have slightly wider cone to make it tougher to flank. but iirc, mg42 tracking is also a bit slower in the pack
but imo exaggeration to say axis can walk up to allies firing mg and bundle nade them through the cone of fire..
one thing i believe you need to do is manually switching to other squad once you suppress the first one
Its an RNG problem for the Vickers. If it gets a model kill, it loses shooting time due to re-targeting timing. That's not instant, generally .125 seconds or longer, during which the unit recovers some suppression. I've had Pgrens consistently just run straight at Vickers and nade due to that. Its a Suppression/DPS ratio problem. Put all 3 bulletins on MG42 accuracy and watch it suppress less consistently.
Play some UKF and open Vickers. Give it a go.
