If you had read any of the posts in this thread, you would know that people are asking for a MP adjustment because as a Machine Gun the MG42 overpreforms compared to its counterparts.
(You really are way, way too invested in trying to keep people's hands off the OST at all cost)
I still would rather that the Maxim, Vickers and DshK got a rework. Some small changes to those and a slight reduction in light vehicle burst damage on the MG42 would go a long way to making the playing field more even and the gane better balanced overall.
This isn't a matter of asymmetrical design where one nation gets a mortar and another gets a field gun. Everyone has a heavy machine gun and they all do the exact same job.
Every ATG is overperforming compared to raketen.
Every mainline overperforms compared to cons.
Churchill croc and KV-8 overperform compared to Hetzer.
T-70 overperforms compared to Stuart or every other light.
But I don't see you arguing on those or any others that they need price increase other nerfs. MG-42 and others are fine with the exception of maxim that could use slight buff and see how it goes from there. There's no reason to touch this MG and if you really want to do it then OST should get that 20MP reduction on other things. But imo nothing in OST should be touched, they seem to be the most balanced and complete faction right now.
