Next patch predictions

If this also applies to AT guns they might become pretty useless. They already miss quite a bit of shots at near max range, and if they receive less penetration at long ranges chances are that they don't penetrate even if they manage to hit.

I see Pios being far too powerful for what they're meant to be, right now. They can roll Engi squads and they'll go toe-toe with a slightly weakened Conscript squad, and if they lose that fight the Conscripts will be so weakened they'll be forced to retreat anyways.

not exactly, i think all artillery pieces should have some sort of resistance on bombing runs, kill the crew and leave the gun intact. its pretty horrible to see 600mp and god knows how long they need to build that thing, gets insta wiped by a recon and bombing run.

its fine for 240 munition imo. You see most of the time, the howitzer next to your HQ. There is almost no real other counter.

manpower losses hurt alot harder than 240munitions, especially at late game. considering its aa sure hit, unless someone flinches and misclick, its 240 munition well spent.

I agree. I don't like the fact that a unit called in with a lot manpower can be 100% countered by a muni ability. Perhaps if they added a bit of scatter to it so you could atleast pray to the RNG god to save you.

Buffing the AT on ISU-152 and IS-2 is the absolute wrong thing to do, they are Commander specific. Soviets need good dependable non-Commander specific AT to deal with the good dependable Tanks that Germans get on the base faction and not on specific Commanders.

if only soviets could have some sort of non doctrinal tank destroyer. it could have longer range than any non doctrinal tank, a very high rate of fire, and penetration equal to that of an elefant, while also being cheap and spammable. if only.

Letting this aside, I remember being a little astonished when a patch from last year buffed the T34 damage from 80 to 120. At that moment I thought it would have been better to increase a little its armor penetration capability, while buffing less the damage. That way, T34 would be today a more balanced tank, I guess.

edit: I just wanted to comment on one last thing. We agree with the sentiment that the Soviet core army needs to be effective against all opposing units on its own. Counters should not be exclusive to doctrines that is.

How would you feel if the T34 damage went to 160 then?

Good thread, always fun to read speculation as it gives some insights into what some of the players want.
