Well, once flanked its 100% dead because of crew size(4 men with 25% received accuracy penalty against weapons designed to kill 5-6 men squads) and lack of MG42/34 teleporting capability, but weapon in itself performs fine.
I'd get it over DSHK any day and its still better then maxim due to cone and actual damage. Not sure about its AoE suppression, never bothered to check it.
Hey, I was wondering if anyone had this weird problem where when fighting with the sturm officer with panzerfusils in close quarters sometimes triggers a mass retreat of your forces back to your base especially when your units start getting low health. This is kind of annoying since I like to retreat my squads slowly to get as much mileage as I can from each one of them... is anyone having this problem?
