Due to real life obligations, I've had limited time to test out the new patch, but during a couple of the games I managed to get in, the new kubel almost insta-pinned my rifles.
I'm not against suppression weapons being effective... I think the MG42 is perfectly balanced for what it is... a highly immobile defensive area denial tool.
The MG42 can be flanked since its cone is static until it gets up and redeploys.
The problem with the Kubel is that it can rotate on a dime to stop flank attempts, which in my experience completely shuts down USF early game. Its armor was buffed a couple patches ago, but now its got armor, speed, mobility AND suppression.
So how is USF supposed to combat a well-micro'd Kubel with only rifles and RE (lol) ?
Stop reading after this because of this sentence.
lol MG42 got themselves pick off one by one by headon Rifles.
I dunno who design them but clearly it is ridiculous.
They have the similar role but Jager is hands down better than Stormtrooper, a hell lot, and cheaper.
Who comes with the idea those elite infantry come with Kar98 and required to upgrade?
Jager: Clearly Oberoberobersoldaten, but 300MP though
Stormtrooper: PG without STG44, still more expensive than a Sturmpio
