You can't stop them with an MG42....all they do is pop smoke and run at it...
Right now, Allies are easy mode.
They dont get supressed dude, why is mg42 a counter? And they outnumber mg42s for pop too..!
Sorry, let me clarify my position. It is for the time when smoke is on cool down.
LMG42 is also a good counter.
For when there is smoke, I notice that some players keep a few flame pios around for when they get inundated with smoke.
I find the greatest issue to be US officer's survivability, regen and damage output.
