I'd trade Oorah for lmg42 and pfaust any day...it's fine as it is.
on 5 muni I used to spam it a lot, now people only use it for flanking, getting into building, that means it's the right cost
I'm not sure what game you guys are playing but t70 definitely can't kite vs shrecks, they have the same range. and yes, they hit it quite realiably.
only thing you can do is wait for them to fire, attack move, reverse before they fire and repeat. If they are charging it's very risky
Ah, I get it. The hard counter to infantry isn´t supposed to hard counter infantry. The definition of hard counter is that you beat a unit for cost (aka 240mp beat 440 which aren´t used skillfully).
It's supposed to hard counter infantry when used the right way, having unsupported mg isn't skillful either.
Also, retreating is an option, I know germans are not used to it but it's there on the screen.
- Shock troopers run into my MG42 frontally.
- Aren´t pinned after three bursts, only suppressed.
- throw a grenade and/ or kill the MG42 with small arms fire frontally.
wow, a 440mp unit kills a 240mp mg unit with no spotter, what a big deal.
guess what, it's what a 240mp unit (grens) have always done to another 240mp unit (maxim)
any build consisting of 2 MG42s are not nearly as effective as one that consist of multiple grens and one mg42.
that's my definition of a support unit
also, just because sometimes it could take 3 burst doesn't mean it's always like that, I've seen anywhere from 1 to 3.
anyway, this game is finally fun to play as Soviet (mainly because it's not restricting you to one static build anymore) and we'll see if Germans will need some buffs, but they clearly won't come in the form of an mg42 re-buff
