And yet you stand by your decision that soviet balance should hang on commanders call in infantry purely?
I did see genuine thought and I know OZ posts constructively, but this statement baffles me. It's the absolute worst part of COH for me, the reliance on commanders. I WANT to play with silly, quirky mad commanders like armoured assault. You know why I can't do that? Because of people like OZ.
A race should not be balanced around the shit it gets as DLC. Advanced Warfare doctrine, locked behind the war spoils system is enough evidence of that. It's not cool, not fair and not enjoyable.
And if you are honestly telling me Grenadier blobs are fine for regular players, then sure, great, I'll buy that.
For a noob like me, your statements are baffling. "Don't know how to play their army" and "Maxims are easy wins". They are not. Maxims die to grenadier blobs. The counter to a blob dies. Yeah.
I want to understand your thought process. I really do. But its nice to see you ignored all the points in my post, and didn't provide any counter arguements. Good discussion.
Sorry but you're complaining about faction design. If you don't like it than don't play it. Pick US which revolves around very strong core infantry unit. Soviets have been designed in a way so they relly on call in units and that won't change unless Relic desides to re design them.
And FYI Armoured Assault is one of my favourite commander. You trade Elite infantry for superior tanks and that's the idea behind it.
