it's only a mobile suppression platform in the most literal sense. the range on the suppression is complete shit.
My comment was a reply to a very misleading comparison
"So UC vickers is pretty much singular DP-28 for proper LMG cost. Can this upgrade be any less efficient?". Comparing an infantry LMG (DP) with the vickers upgrade is very misleading because:
1)comparing an infantry upgrade with a vehicles upgrade is "comparing apples with oranges"
2)the upgrade allows the unit to to suppress
3) Even if one does the comparison (and he should not), he will see that contrary to lmg upgrade for infantry that replace a weapon this upgrade add a new weapon. For instance LMg42 for grenadiers increase the DPS of the squad by: 2% to 77% (according to range)
The UC upgrade increases the DPS of the unit by:64% close 36% far so it increase close allot and decent far.
To sum up even though UC might not be a good unit that is not due to the HMG upgrade...
