This once again has proven to me that you have absolutely no idea about this game and you are the biggest allied fan boy on this forum.
If you didn't know already, he's talking about blobbing. If a 4 x BARed rifles approach head on in a blob to an MG42, there's no way that the blob should be able to counter it. If the blob can win, it makes for an extremely stale, boring meta or Gren blob vs Con blob or Rifle blob.
Katitof you just really need to take off your rose coloured glass, actually start playing all factions and resist the urge to comment on balance issues that you obviously have no idea about.
Thanks in advance.
What if I told you that allies also have HMGs, like for example Maxim or DSHK and these HMGs are unable to stop even 2 squads? Or USF HMG is completely unable to stop more then 1 squad and often a single gren is enough to counter it thanks to precision strike nade.
If that 4 bar rifle is approaching HMG that isn't in green cover, its dead.
Suppressed units loose 75% of their DPS, that means there is still 25% remaining, if there are 4 squads, its like 1 unsuppressed squad with BARs is unloading at HMG. Do you believe that HMG should be able to survive it?
Its all about stats, where you bitch and whine about how axis life is unfair, I know the stats and actually understand the mechanics, so have a tissue and take this lesson.
Less hurts of buts, more knowing of mechanics, it'll do you good, so instead of acting like spoiled brat you would for once actually KNOW what you want to argue and how illogical your claims are.
You want to stop multiple units with upgrades? One HMG isn't going to cut it, because of how the game actually works, unless its in your wet dreams.
