Bren tommies are only good with an LT. So its not the gun thats causing you trouble. Its the LT + Bren squad. Try HMG + Volks then and see which wins.

mg is support weapon and does not count!
bren+LT are awesomeand if the lt is at vet2, IMBAvolks and grens have no chance against bren tommies (2 brensguns!)

The Thompson was affected exactly like the LMG. Both ignored the Soldier armor "protection", so they do less damage proportionately to PE/Brits after the change.

If the LMG is not worth taking right now, it wasn't worth taking before the change if you were fighting US.

I wouldn't buy bars if it weren't for the suppression, rifles are so weak that it would be a waste of munitions.

eh a riflesquad has more health then a grenadier squad

Rifles hit the deck in a one second burst from an MG42.  My grenadiers can walk into range of 30 cal, take nap, make some coffee, and then walk back out before being suppressed.

That is why rifles die so much easier, because the 30 cal and the commando HMG is shit at suppressing infantry compared to the MG42.

the vickers/commando HMG suppress rather well, I was surprised myself to see grenadiers hit the ground in 2 or 3 seconds, rather than the 2 or 3 hours that it was before.

aloha, try assault nades. One use and poof, the bren guns can't shoot any more if they want to live(have to move), or they instantly blow up with 3 nades under their feet. That's 185 manpower 60 mun(can anyone confirm these prices?) of infantry to defeat 265+150=415 manpower 90+40 = 130 mun worth of anti-infantry.
