I understand what you are saying. They deviated from the normal cost en reinforce formula in the past though. 6 men for soviet team weapons need to stay its a core design feuture.

The number of models are not the only factor to decide a sqauds costs imo. Again maxim takes to long to supress has a small arc and can be deathlooped. It recieves more damage this way then an other mg wich can supress on time. Reducing the 160 hp bonus to almost 0. Hence imo 240 mp is the correct price for the maxim.

4 men captured maxims are ok vs soviets cuz soviets lack long range inf with ai upgrades mostly, and dont have much nades if it all to lob at it (frontaly) okw but esp ost has little trouble dealing with maxims once nades and ai upgrades are unlocked.

Merge is very usefull indeed. You do need another unit to give the maxim or any soviet team weapon or squad such survivability though. Thats a minimum of 500mp that you need to give the maxim that level of staying power.

That isent the point atm. Its preformance is decent enough. We have arrived mostly at is it fair that it costs more then the mg34 and the same as the mg 42? both of wich are much much better.
The 6 man crew is nothing special it doesnt help the maxim in the slighest, the bad stuff such as deathloop, small arc, lower to lowest supression makes sure of that.

Back in the day maxim spam got to where it got because cons penals and gaurds even where not good enough.

(I don't mind losing because the person is better than me, but I'm not ready to lose for the reason that my opponent simply has better infantry.)
