I'd rather pay the same price to have an MG42 like mg than a shitty .30 cal. Wouldnt you?
I'd love to have the best of both worlds, too, but it aint gonna happen. I run two MGs in my AB battalion, and I have no problems with them. I really don't see how anyone could call them completely useless.

I use 'em for AP rounds. A machinegun is just too necessary to not have for me.

worthless allied units?
Tank: M18 Vehicle: none really Support weapon: 30. Cal Infantry: Vet 3 Riflemen (vet really doesn't help them live.
out of all 30.cal is the worst.
m18 isnot worthless, it eats panzer4s, stugs and hetzers for lunch.

Shermans are good little tanks, just have to be a micro queen with them, cant really be careless and so on with them like panzers and so on due to them dieing so much easier, just wish the upgun sherman would do more damage like the 76mm on both the m10 and m18.

It means that the Croc can run over anything a KT could.
Though it is a toggle and has to slow right down to use the bulldozer.

Which is pretty much overkill if we only considered teh .30 cal. Wickers and Staghound both suppress good.

Its a while back but may i add that I had Tungsten tipping when it was at +20% so m18 was bouncing off the front and sides 23 shot sin a row. the 3 shots that penetrated were 1 out of cloak for damge and 1 main gun destroyed and 1 damaged engine. EVERYTHING else DID NOT penetrate. Just bounced off. Now, an M18 without Tipping Sucks so bad that it will bounce off a skirted P4 out of cloak. If you you the 50.cal you're an idiot because if the 50 cal shoots then you lose the ability to pop cloak and get a 50% bonus shot. The m18 has worse accuracy vs infantry than a panther which is quite funny. Without cloak the thing can actually bounce off of pumas.

Imho the hellcat needs better accuracy VS infantry.. not so it makes it a super infy killer but enough to defend itself from a squad of shrecks, I mean really.. missing a squad 15 times in a row is just plain stupid tbh... im thinking of like accuracy that allows it to damage an infantry unit in one shot and maybe kill it in a couple more shots..

No, hellcat is a tank killer, just like marder for example. Leave as it is.

Marder is an actually good infantry sniper, and it can kill them quite effectively.
Even a 57 mm is better at anti-inf duties than a hellcat is.

Bs. Haven't seen them kill infantry ever, except for one or two times where they killed that last engineer or rifleman.

You would have loved to see it when it got outranged by the MG42 ^^. Bs. Haven't seen them kill infantry ever, except for one or two times where they killed that last engineer or rifleman. They do kill infantry often enough, just I don't think you'll want to stay shooting at an enemy rifle squad when a sherman is charging the marder...
