That is not coincidental, if you meant to imply this.

For those interested:
The left teams are always (if fresh) the one with the squad leader (MP40) and a 'stationary' MG42, the right teams are always formed of the asst. leader/team leader (G43) and the "Sturm" variant of the MG42 (shorter, quicker burst & fire on the move), as well as a PzFst30 unit.
Left teams are cover-fire teams and the right one are maneuver-teams, which makes sense.
A stationary MG42 that needs to be set up first should be more effective at longer ranges, and back there is no need for short ranged anti tank weapons.
That is also how I started to use my teams and I dare to say I'm more effective since, but that might be coincidental.
