Dude, its the 2018, stop living in the past. Smoke rifles squads are gone for good.
Not even Mg42 can hold 3 squads of *anything* running straight to it (unless you clearly nooblob)
Also, vickers and maxim ARE THE SLOWEST FIRING RATE/SUPPRESSION MG's in the game, use 2 maybe to achieve that?
I dont think that point was valid at all in any kind of discussion
That's what I mean. Straight, no need to spread them, just right click on the MG.
U got the lasting flares and could easily find the weak point on enemy lines and move ur troops in FOW and suddenly overwhelm the enemy. It has nothing to do with whether this faction is offensive or not. The intel imbalance could make anything much easier, no matter What faction use it.
