I hate the Soviet faction in this game with a passion. When playing them, I´m bored, when seeing a Soviet opponent on the loading screen, I´m like: "Not Soviets again."
They feel incredibly cheesy.
You either have to face 6 men weapon crews which are so robust, that they can - even if you counter them properly - delay you and slow the game down, so it´s no longer fun.
Or you face an annoying dual sniper combination with Guards and mines. Try reaching those snipers.
I´ve played games as Soviets losing only a 4th of the units the enemy player lost, because he couldn´t reach mine.
Throw in the ISU or T-34/85 spam with mark target late game and the bullcrap is complete.
I wouldn´t call it a huge balance issue, but I have no fun at all playing versus most Soviet players. It´s incredibly dull. And yes, I prefer the mobile US meta. At least you can try to kill that, Maxims and snipers are a fucking cancer.
That's amazing, you must be rank 1. Wait are you Jesulin in disguise?! Although when Jesulin's units are properly countered even he loses them, so I would like learn how this is done.
I've had some instances where I had my 6 man maxim squad full health properly countered by some sturmpio's and all 6 of them died in like a second. Please share your secret of the dark arts with the rest of us!
