The tiger ace syndrome

The Devs haven't posted anything anywhere for a long time.

Are the devs ever going to come back? Have they completely abandoned us? No one's vacation is THIS long.

Soviet industry is still even more OP than the Tiger Ace doctrine.

Soviets need tanks. Many medium non-doctrinal tanks, with some power. Like T34-85. German beasts need targets and now Soviets have only tank destroyers. T34-76 is not viable.

True, but I was commenting on someone who wanted a soviet counterpart to the TA.
The units you mention belong in another context. Nothing super about them.

Btw.: I find it irrelevant for balancing purposes if a unit is 'boring'. As if that was one of our major concerns.

When playing against Germans with the Tiger Ace, I spend almost all my manpower on Zis guns and try to get 2-4 if possible.

I usually have either SU-85 or IS-2. On rarer occasion, I may have an ISU-152.

I bind the tanks to 1 and the zis guns to 2.

Then I try to track down the Tiger Ace and throw this group of Zis guns at him first. I never use tanks against it first; always Zis. Ideally I have 3 or 4 zis guns pummelling it while my IS-2 (with its good frontal armor and hp), shoots its rear and scoots backward to reload.

Then I try to trap it from the rear with the tanks with long range shoot & scoot shooting.

Just wanted to chip in by saying:

1) Whilst it is clear that Relic need to make money from selling DLC, and I think most of us here would accept and agree with that in a broad sense, I am in general agreement with the negative feedback to Elite Troops and Industry, and I hope that it's something Relic will learn from. The concept of pre-vetted 'God units' does not belong in a game which wishes to promote itself as a balanced and competitive RTS. It's a dangerous road to go down, and the fact that competitions like SNF ban those commanders is great because it should (in theory) press the point home to Relic.
