It is painfully outclassed by the Nagan, which can actually shoot up, and is less expensive, and has actual range to it. But then the DLC came out, and introduced fliers - which the Serp cannot hit, and which can simply destroy the Serp without suffering any damage in return. But it used to be actually quite decent, because it was seriously tanky, somewhat fast, and dealt decently with other mechs. It's vet ability is literally completly useless - it only affects infantry, but it's a mech that only comes out when infantry is very long outclasses by everything else, and only occasionally supports mechs by capturing points or wrecks. It's somewhat slow, so it can be kited by a few lighter units. It also cannot hit fliers, but it largely doesn't matter, because it wouldn't deal any damage to them even if it could. Which, if your opponent is competent - it will literally never get to hurt. It deals nearly no damage to everything else - so it's only usefull at dealing with infantry. And it absolutely needs to be as close to infantry as possible due to the fact it's flamethrowers have a pathetically slow range. The Ognivo is simply terrible at dealing with infantry - it's slow, way too slow to catch up to infantry if they notice it. The Ognivo: In contrast, the one faction that has an abyssmal anti-infantry mech, cannot build LMGs. There is quite literally absolutely no reason to use LMGs, as they're simply a massively inferior version of a anti-infantry mech. That are faster, have no set-up time, cannot be flanked by infantry due to the fact their MGs rotate really fast and most infantry does bad damage to them, are cheaper, are build from regular Workshop (which is cheaper than Advanced Barracks) and are effective against armoured targets once they're veteran. But the thing that makes them completly useless instead of just bad, is the fact it's avalible to two factions that have really good anti-infantry mechs (the Straznik and Salem) that have absolutely none of their weaknesses. They're slow, they take long to set up, they can be easily flanked due to their very long setting up animation, they're expensive, and they deal no damage to armoured units. The LMG: It's anti-infantry infantry that has to be build from Advanced Barracks. It's completly useless in every single aspect except it's melee - that will never be used, because it's the single slowest unit in the game. It seems tanky, but it dies really fast to sustained fire because it's bunched up so close that every shell that hits it, will hit all three of them. It can be kited by literally everything else. It's mortar deals nearly no damage and misses 9 times out of 10. The Eisenhans: It's agonizingly slow, the single slowest unit in the game. It's absolutely and completly useless for transporting troops, and that's really all it can do. And when it dies, it kills all units inside. The animation for infantry getting in and out is also really long, making it unsuited both to evacuation and suprise drops. It's painfully slow, slower than nearly all infantry it's supposed to transport. It dies easily to ground-based anti-air units, like Gunners, Field Cannons and mechs. It also means you can only get it out once your enemy most likely has a Workshop.

It requires you to upgrade your Barracks, which doesn't give you a lot useful units.
