Correct me if I'm wrong please, but I thought USF mortar has a high rate of fire/accuracy that, say, the soviet mortar doesn't have. Also, the USF mortar just had its ranged BUFFED since last patch. How exactly is it the worse mortar??
USF mortar was really a mix across the patches, previously it was short ranged ost mortar, now its 4 men sov mortar.
Added range makes it easier to use, but nerfed RoF makes it much less threatening.
In case of HMG34, its more of a leftover after kubel and doctrine overhaul then actual proper hmg, which okw wasn't even supposed to have as stock option-it pretty much performs as good as its cost indicates.
Its a conscript squad tier of HMGs.
It will do its job, but you better not try to rely on it alone, because it can't take pressure.
