The Problem with MG squads
Not sure what the devs we're trying here. A unit that walks slower than old people f@#k, takes all of a week to deploy itself, and dies to anti-infantry weapons in seconds or less. At least I can mov...

I haven't used the MG squads that much, I find them clunky and unreliable. ...I generally roll my eyes when I see an enemy roll them out. However, they are a unit that is worth fiddling with if you want to troll the game a bit.
MG Squad speed should in category "faster" or "fastest" because MG squad are very vulnerable when not setup position.
- @DarkGarithos You feel a guy carrying a Gatling gun, should move fast? Lol

Well, they have to have some weaknesses to make up for their strenghts (cheap price, and effective against both Infantry and Vehicles, which is seldom).
So if people follow your suggestion and make mg basically unkillable by anything on the ground, you then instantly win against any nod player who doesn't have a venom in their deck. Two mg squads setup will already kill everything before it gets close enough to kill, any damage is then healed with Liang.
They don't need a buff, they just need removing from the game for being boring and op against unlucky players who don't specifically build a deck against them. There's no other two unit combo that is so unbeatable in the early game as mg and missile squads. 50 tib means even if your enemy has a perfect counter it's going to cost minimum 80 tib and a lot of time, long enough you can send a pitbull or whatever else you need because venoms suck and almost no one uses them.

Well, a chem buggy would probably still kill them simply with its raider ability. An MG squad cannot run away from the gas cloud, if it tries to then it is dead anyway.
