Profile of Tobis

I already know that the community here is toxic against members like me who start to criticise how relic handle things.

Thank you very much for all your helpful coments like the "bla bla bla" coment.

The point is there are already discussions about it and this thread is unnecessary. It's ridiculous like the 6 ISU threads instead of one, they just clutter up the forum.

Maxim has a lot of weakness.

1. Mortor
2. Sniper
3. Scout car
4. Flame pio with mortar smoke.
5. Flanking panzer grenadiers with bundle nade.

It s not one rifle nade that is op, it is the rifle nade killing 3 models and the next gunner getting killed every time they try to grab the gun. Also people comparing Molotov to rifle nade is a joke. You can fire a nade from extreme distances and over house, hedges with zero risk. Swap rifle nade for molotov any day.

MG42 has a lot of weakness.

1. Mortor
2. Sniper
3. M3 scout car
4. Flame engi with M3 scout car.
5. Flanking Penal squad with satchel charge.

The maxim has 6 models in it compared to a MG42 having only 4, and has a much greater pack/unpack time. If you get in a molotov on an MG42 team they are almost guaranteed to retreat, or at the very least will reposition. The same can't be said about the Maxim that can keep firing after being riflenaded. If you find yourself being flanked by panzer grenadiers and being bundle grenaded, you damn right should be forced off. Any of those weaknesses are made much worse for an MG42 due to the lower models, and just because that a maxim has some weaknesses (which is called balance) doesn't mean that you should nerf the rifle grenade. Comparing the rifle grenade to a molotov is a great comparison, they are both effective at the ranges that the units were designed to fight in. The Molotov is much more effective if you manage to hit hit the enemy, which is not much harder than a rifle grenade when you can oorah around through MG cover to throw it.

Guards are pretty good against infantry with DPs, and they have a more useful grenade. Also they can hold off the scout car.

Might be some changes they are making with the warspoils system and call ins, making them come out of buildings, being tech dependent. Just a guess.

I still have to wonder why "rear echelon squad" is a frontline combat unit.

That's literally the opposite of what rear echelon personnel are.

They said something about the German advance in the Battle of the Bulge forcing rear troops who were for support and not frontline fighting into combat.
