If we're going to have a CQC squad that's so retarded good at anti infantry that it can frontally decrew MGs, then I think it's more than fair that it shouldn't be able to go toe-to-toe with vehicles too.
Edit: To be fair, their snare was removed back before MGs were uberbuffed. Maybe now it's not so shrimple.
Yeah pretty much anything wielding a flamethrower can frontally decrew an MG if it's allowed to get close enough, and they have two of them. So its hardly surprising. Before their recent buff they weren't even the strongest CQC squad in the game, they would consistently lose to thompson Gurkhas. I haven't tested the matchup since that last buff to their SMG's though, so that might have changed.
I really miss the buggy satchel, but I think they're fine. They are incredibly expensive and blobs of BAR rifleman quickly whittle them down just like do to everything else.
