these are 2 maxims shooting at a half-dead mg42 in wooden building, what did you expect? Do you think maxim would live to fight another day in same situation against double mg42?

Yeh ofc its usual that the MG42 lost the engagement, the ridiculous point is the speed of the loss. The first maxim just ran behind the truck at VP for green cover while being suppressed.. and would have most likely won the engagement alone. And tbh in a double MG42 vs garrisoned maxim engagement, I am really not sure if MG42 would win.

Again, you can beat any strat in 1v1, even maxim spam (though Kholodny is one of the more broken maps for maxim spam sadly) if you play with 0 mistakes and u have some RNG luck while your enemy is sloppy.

Wait, that's not even true. You need to pray that the maxims get rekt by nades and/or mortars and that your 251 flamer doesnt get roflstomped by AT partisans. Other strats vs maxims are usually never seen, cos in high level tier, you barely ever see that a maxim dies to small arms fire, because the durability + fast set-up time makes it win most of the a-moving engagaments.

But tbh then pls tell me why we even adjust the balance of anything in this game, since you also can beat comet spam + arty cover if you play without any mistakes

As people already mentioned, the maxim needs some sort of firepower advantage compared to MG42 since it has such a small arc of fire. Fine. The problem is a-moving with this unit. +This unit can react way too good on flanking attacks. Show Spoiler That's why set up time needs to be nerfed

But honest, we always talk in forums taht balance ostheer vs soviet are good and always we get histerya when some top/streamers lose vs maxim span with ostheer. But in many there games thay just make a big mistakes vs maxims and t-70 just end it or 3 t-70.
And one more its again double standarts, maybe all players who blaime some strats in repleys section, streams use maxim/penals spam too, so when you win with cancer its okey ? but when you lose its broken ? or what reason so abuse "broken" things ? for win ? enjoy this shit or what ?

Plot-twist: After that match he queued again into VonIvan, but this time Luv was sov and Ivan OH. Show Spoiler

Look at 3h 42m

i dont see maxim spam any differently than mg42 spam. you can have the huge arc of mg42 with 4 men or the narrower arc of the maxim with 6. yes i know maxims unpack fast but mg42 is not that slow either if you have the bulletin which affects it.

Like skemshead already mentioned above: unfortunately your argument doesnt work because usually maxims win EVERY engagement vs MG42, no matter if the maxim is a-moving into a already set up MG42 (not joking) or if both players use the a-moving strat.

The only 1:1 engagement that a MG42 will definitely win is if it's garrisoned while the maxim is not, or if the MG42 uses its incendiary rounds

Nicely done,always axis victory is good victory

Even though the opponents are my mates LUL

Why? Because squads can only have 6 men?

But they have 4-man partisans, 2-man sniper, 4-man engineer


So it's not like god in heaven said "ONLY 6 MEN SOVIET SQUADS!"

If 4-men solves the issue, it should be done.

I am sure either this or increasing reinforcement cost would be enough for a Hotfix
