"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Thread: Why is the Maxim so bad?21 Jun 2022, 19:20 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2022, 16:08 PMVipper It seem that developers do consider the use of an infatry and support weapon as "combined arms". I'm well aware. Which is why I mentioned it. Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2022, 15:56 PMAlphrum Ive never had problem with the maxim being able to supress, the only time i find the maxim to be trash is in the late game when there is yellow cover everywhere and squads can literally walk up to you without getting supressed. Oh maxim suppresses alright, it just doesn't pin within the amount of time that it needs to to keep itself alive. All there needs to be are two panzergrens (or any unit with a deadly grenade), a bit of space between them, and enough munitions to throw one. No matter how you micro the maxim, without Suppressive fire, you're not going to be able to pin both of them before they can get close enough to throw the bundle grenade. It gets worse the more deadly the opponent is, which is why I said that you need time to ready and pop suppressive fire. Because of the deathloop, if you don't suppress long range blobs quick enough, your MG is dead as soon as the first model drops. This wouldn't be an issue if you could at least retreat it, but unlike the MG42 the gun does not teleport to the next retreating model and instead the surviving members have to run back and pick it back up (this should really either be a feature of all MGs or NO MGs, because as far as I know, teleportation technology hadn't been perfected in the 40's yet. Or in the 2020's, for that matter). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is the Maxim so bad?21 Jun 2022, 15:37 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Jun 2022, 15:22 PMAlphrum my bad not combined arms, i meant more in the terms of synchronizing together (historically pioneers wher also used for scouting). but i dont get what the big problem is, its far better then people just blobbing a-moving 5 squads. Yeah, but you already mentioned the devs giving pios the extended sight to "encourage combined arms". Which is what I was talking about. ...Ofc you would need to support your maxim, go play ost and build only mg42s and tell me how it goes, every mg is going to need some kind of support Sure, but it will be a cold day in hell when you can use a maxim to lock down a sector with nothing other than a CE standing next to it with its thumb up its ass, a la MG42. but people like you, instead of providing solutions to the maxim, your just bashing ost and pioneers sight. People like me? Tf is that supposed to mean? I'm like the banks, guy. I play both sides. The fact of the matter is that I come onto this forum to point out bullshit and speak my mind. I don't just "bash" OST. I "bash" every faction, so long as there's some BS. EDIT: You want my honest opinion on the maxim? Well it doesn't really matter to most people because I play 4v4 at like the middle 2000 ranks. But I think it's worthwhile against medium sized blobs, then falls off against bigger or LMG blobs. Only useful when you've got prior warning of the blob so you can pop Suppressive Fire. And against opponents in 1v1, it's lackluster as hell compared to what the MG42 can do unsupported. So, make it cheaper. It's worth less than the MG42. In: COH2 Balance

(Turret) Traverse speed . And yes it's slower than SOME other MGs (Just Maxim and DsHK). It's the speed that the MG rotates to be able to fire on a unit in its cone of fire. It's called horizontal speed in serelia (below Tracking), I'm pretty sure. DsHK: 38 Maxim: 28 MG34, MG42, Vickers: 25 50 Cal: 24 In: COH2 Balance

Combined arms?? Bro, two infantry units is not "combined arms". How exactly is "combined arms" play being encouraged when you literally start with the only unit you need to play most effectively with your T0 machine gun? Combined arms. Lmfao. Yeah you're combining arms alright; MG42s and MP40s. Apparently it's enough to encourage "combined arms" for Soviets by making their MG barely effective unless they actually have infantry being supported by it. But OST not only gets to have an MG that can change its own diaper, but T0 tech unit that can spot for it too. In: COH2 Balance

The tank's still going to die in two volleys whether it gets hit by a snare or not. Besides slowdown, of course. EDIT: Assuming they all pen of course. In: COH2 Gameplay
