Axis defense: when to leave the MG

Not a ban on MG. Timing and ego check. Axis defense specifically on Frostbite and Adlernest.

If they plant and you are still on a dead angle, you already lost. Swap to rifle and fight plant.

Panzer exists for a reason on defense. If they overstack courtyard, one good shot opens the retake.

MG is free on the first push. Second push it is a trap. I have farmed and then thrown rounds doing that.

If I am the only one near plant and you are camping ridge for style, I will say so in voice. Not toxic. Just true.

Rule of thumb: first contact MG ok. Once plant is threatened, everyone plays the objective. Password hour will enforce that soft culture.

On pubs I still see four MGs. That is a different game. For clan nights we play like we mean it.

As a new guy this is useful. I thought MG was always correct on Axis. Glad I asked in Discord too.
