you just got it wrong.
G43s are not for grenblobbing and A-attack. First they are doctrinal, if that doesnt tell you anything, then just dont use them. Second, where are your teamweapons, 222's or heavy cover?
CoH2 is a very, very strategical game, even massing troops can be a mistake if you dont plan ahead what to do with them.
G43 are great, just change the way of using them was my point
Let's not turn this into a thread about fingerpointing l2p issues. I play mainly 1v1s with ostheer so blobbing is something I'm not into.
You make a great point of not evaluating the performance of g43s in vacuum, but the thing is: If I already field combined arms then why should I not play to the advantages and strengths of my faction and pick LMGs? As Katitof here put it: "...because specifically because of how cost efficient LMG is, G43 sees little use.
Its most cost efficient weapon in game."
My main points in this thread were about about timings. CURRENTLY the time you now get g43s at 2Cp you already field if playing meta:
-Pioneer w. FW35
-mg42
-3xgrens
-222
-(maybe one or two extra units depending on mp bleed and pacing)
Would you not agree that at this point in the hands of adept player g43s have already lost time to shine and LMGs offer better value? My main suggestion was to make g43s available at earlier timing, lets say after you've gotten your 3rd grenadier out. This way the g43s could act as an early powerspike (sacrificing late game performance) before transitioning to the combined arms when the LMGs are better option anyways.
