Title: Soviet MG
Post by: OdinsWolfpack on February 11, 2012, 07:49:17 AM
I find it really annoying for the soviets to have to mg. I realize they compensate in other ways ie the d28 light mgs upgrades and  hords of inf but still annoying when your tryin to hold down a side of a map in the early stages of the game. So i thought that it might be a cool idea to give them a machingun crew and use the same machingun thats in their mg dug outs. The team would have to wheel it around like the at crew does at a faster rate of course but slower than a reg mg team so there would be a draw back to it. idk jus a thought i have might give them a better chance in one on one battles and in 2v2 or 3v3 you wouldnt rely on a american teamate as much. tell me what you think

So, if I understood well, you think that devs should add wheeled Maxim MG to soviets? No chances, bro.

Didnt they have that in some version? Maybe it was a doctrine weapon? But Iam pretty sure I encounter russians with Maxims with wheels and a little shield :o

It was a bug where the team would exit the dugout. No longer possible.

It will not happen and it is because the soviets have stronger mid game units and larger early game units in general. Soviets don't need a suppression unit.
