I don't understand this game. And no, I was not in red cover, we were both in yellow.

I'm sure there was some other factor, grenades?
Anyway, to answer your point, Shocks are excellent anti inf, but with no anti vehicle whatsoever. Much like obers, if used well they can cause serious damage but they are a liability with regards to bleeding manpower if you take too many losses. Pretty balanced IMO.

It would be balanced if the MG42 has a better reaction time, because that would be the best counter against shock troopers, but I'm not sure if they are overpowered. They are a lot harder to handle since every OKW infantry unit has been nerfed.

So I just wondered what your thoughts on the balance of shock troops were. No I didn't provide any proof, but why bother posting if you're just going to be sarcastic?
Got it, made a mistake. End the thread

I think everyone would love to see the replay your describing. Relic included.

They are the only infantry the soviets have that can deal with OKW blobs. I pretty much am locked into picking a commander with them.
Shocks are good, but I find that they can get slaughtered by Pios and Obers unless you can ambush the enemy, since they are only good very close range.
Wouldn't Maxims be a better counter? Maxim + Shocks would be a lethal combination I imagine.
I guess you could use their smoke grenades to close the distance too which is handy.
