Machine Gun needs a buff

[Surge Brass]

Howdy Con Artist Games! I've been a long-time fan of the Warfare series since I was a kid.

Anyways to the meat of this. I've noticed that MGs feel *really weak* in the demo, especially compared to the original releases (I've played both versions for comparison's sake). The MGs in the original were monstrous in a good position, especially with support and some units to distract the enemy, and would melt a unit in seconds if there wasn't something else going on. Here, they just kinda... Sputter weakly at the enemy if you get them into cover and then die. I've had battles where an MG unit in, say, 1917, ends up being absolutely useless defending a trench from assault while the Riflemen I have supporting it are the ones doing the heavy lifting. They feel closer to the original in 1944, but still very weak, and I've noticed that even in cover both versions are exceptionally frail. An Assault Squad can hard counter them with a single lucky grenade toss.

I know this is a demo and the final product will probably be different, but I wanted to say my own 2 cents. I'm super looking forward to any future versions of the demo and of course to the full release - God it's been so fun reliving this game!

I agree, for how long they take to be selectable they are too weak at what they are supposed to be good at.

Agreed. Far too weak for their cost.

Make it tree fiddy (350) and call it good I think.
