WhY do people keep Pulling stats out of rears instead of playing the game?
Vickers kill more /faster models ingame, due low suppression, because you know what baditof? Supression decreases the received damage/accuracy so it actually kills faster ingame but you cant see that on your theorycrafting paper.

You know what suppersion keeps a squad in the arc of fire. If a mg doesn't suppres fast enough a squad crawls out of the arc. Suppresion is not a bad thing.
