MG 42 frontal charge

mg 42 frontal charge for pqumsieh

Nope, it wasn't a frontal charge, it was just good play and reaction time from you.

Around the 5min mark, is when it happens on the right side of the map.

Basically, German player unpacks and moves his MG42 closer and into line of sight. You, being a good player, see this and are already charging the MG by the time it starts setting up. Since the conscripts were already pretty close to the MG when they started the charge, they're quickly within molotov range and throw.

That's the definition of you outplaying him.

It's also exactly the situation that the devs nerfed the MG42 for. Previously, the MG42 would have just instantly suppressed, then unpacked while under the molotov, moved out, and setup again to pin those conscripts and then suppress the 2nd conscripts.

If the German player wanted to play smart, he would have moved his MG42 up and to the left, putting it farther from any threats that were on the other side of the bushes, which is where you, being a good player that understood truesight, put your conscripts.

He also shouldn't have moved in closer with his Grenadier after they spotted your conscripts, and instead focused on shooting at them with max accuracy and damage.

He also misdeployed his sniper, which should have been father back, even standing on the river ice. Or alternatively, walking along the treeline above the MG to make use of his large LoS.

Had that MG42 been deployed already as your conscripts Oorahed, they would have been suppressed and quickly pinned by the time you had thrown that molotov.
