That's like saying a rifle squad with nades easy take out MG's anyway so what's the issue giving OKW a MG? And yes, the scout cars in vcoh did suppress when it was locked down, it just took multiple bursts.
You can easily take out a scout car in the bursts taken to suppress riflemen.
My point wasn't about efficiency of units anyway, it was a solid suppression platform which PE seriously lacked, and they still did fine.
The only suppresion platform I know PE had was the G43s, but that was an ability which costed muni, so it was something you had to actively choose that has consequences, unlike the MG34
Why is people afraid of MG34 anyway? It's the most meh HMG in game! And what's the connection between JagdTiger, Sturmtiger, Sturm Officer and the Mg34? You lost me on that one.
My problem is that it breaks the theme of OKW anyway, or whatevers left of it.
By having too many generalist units, you end up turning OKW into OstheerV2 with trucks. And any HMG OKW gets where the player can brainlessly pick it without consequences is generalist in my book.
EDIT: I didn't say so publicly at the time, because I stopped playing CoH2 at the time then, but yeah, I don't like Sturmtiger being switched out for Pz 4 J - it took options out of OKW.
And no, I'm not too happy with all the nerfs OKW ate either.
