b) If used alone it WILL HAVE TO retreat being attacked by one Conscript squad. Either by being flanked, or by the Russians running up to it with Uraa and throwing a Molotov.
nah, first of all this happens when you had no extended LoS; but conscripts will always get suppressed, as soon as you see them hitting the ground pack the mg if you are in molotov range and reposition a few steps back, I do it all the time and it's an easy way to dodge the molotv and fend them off.
The real issue to me is this scenario that happens all the time:
Grens+MG vs 2xCons.
Cons 1 gets suppressed in mtv range, you have to reposition to dodge molotov as I said above, while Cons 2 didn't get suppressed and closes in, waiting for you to reposition and throw mtv: you are forced to retreat the mg leaving your grens in 2vs1
