Guard

I think it was to stop M3 + Guard kiting 222, when everyone was M3 spamming with guards/snipers/flamers inside.

So... Support weapon should be my main inf while main inf should be support one?

I'm confused.

Why not ? If they do their job use them as much as you like to.

Because soviet players are fed up of having to use combined arms for everything despite having most inflexible tiering system and everyone else is fed up of "if its not conscript or SU-76, its batshit op reric nerf!" threads.

Then you need to learn to separate dreams from reality and actually acknowledge which axis units were op(not much of that really left atm, I believe if we get to solve the problem of Tiger/IS-2 or GTFO, we'll have much healthier and diverse meta).

And you need to acknowledge that balance is not a unit-by-unit comparison but the overall faction design and timing.

I would like to think that that acknowledges the Soviet faction as a badly designed faction. If some units apparently have to be bad because others are good, then they would have never put there in the first place or should be removed...

To save us all the trouble of bothering they exist.

By playing Soviets, I am already restricted to half of my army. OKW has has so many choices for teching and army composition, Soviets on the other hand have to rely on commanders. As of now, Soviet commanders are outdated after WFA expansion.

Like how Soviets can do T1 opening via m3 or snipers or T2 oepning with maxims or go 4 conscript opening?

While OKW has interesting choices for teching like volks kubel volks opening or volks volks volks opening?

I don't think you can call that "many choices", especially if you look at the units from med truck...

OKW does one thing: spam volks and tech to T4 for obers and panthers. All other options are usually deperate attempts to recuperate a lost game - which usually fail.
