Fastest arriving hmg in the game, it's fine imo.
Remember, it has the slowest set up time of all allied hmg's, you can't A move them like a maxim and arguably the USF 50 cal.
Have to set them up first in the back, then scout with your infantry.
Actually, fastest arriving one is HMG42 which is cheaper.
And you can pretty much YOLO volks vs vickers and nade wipe it(do incendiary nades have molotov range? If not, we have a big problem).
