Which is the better choice?

I havent tested this extensively or anything, but my gut reaction is kill is more important than a small increase in accuracy. Just seems to play out that way.

I guess I like to move my MG's up closer, so I usually end up firing from 14-16 hexes. Far enough that the poor grunts can't retaliate.

The one advantage of the 12mm's is that they can hurt tin cans, like a lot of the armoured cars, polish tanks, halftracks etc. Im not sure thats really worth the risk a lot, but it's a nice back up capability, especially for early war soviet infantry that tends to be completely lacking antitank weapons
