After playing a good game last night I noticed how narrow the Panzernests fire corridor is. I do appreciate the nerf it got with the latest patch, but the very limited angle of fire it now has makes it almost useless for defending and keeping a certain area under fire. I would expect it to be something like and ordinary MG implacement.

Therefor its range is much higher than the range from most other mg emplacements, and it's comparably cheap. But we've also already noticed that it's maybe needed to buff the panzernest in a future patch. But all I can say for now is that we'll keep an eye on it though.

Yes, I did also notice the increased range, but what I need (dunno about u guys) when I build a stationary MG is to be able to suppress incoming infantry, and locking down an area of approach. They do a fair good job on bridges! The long range realle has an edge here, but apart from very narrow corridors, they under perform IMO.
I do see the point in having a variety in MG emplacements though, and some people would advocate that the increased range support their style of play more.
