Considering how abusive 3 sniper+ Guards is on open maps, I'd say no....

Umm, you realize that people use snipers in this strat, because guards are completely unable to pull their weight?

Guards are the closest soviets have to working, effective front line infantry and they still need help from snipers if they want effectively kill stuff.

or make Guard not doctrinal (and leave them unchanged)
or they need a buff (and leave their doctrine)
in their current state they are not worth their MP, ammunition and CP

No... 3 snipers work because guards can effectively deter all vehicles from closing in with button and PTRS...Once lategame comes in ZIS, mines and ISU provides additional anti-armor support while snipers eliminate axis capping power... Guards support the snipers, not the other way around... l2p....

So....

Lets make LMG's lose DPS the more they are used.

To simulate the rapid redundancy of the PTRS.

Well in real life they were elite units created to fight at frontline ex. 8th Guards Army was composed of soldiers who defended Stalingrad, 9th Guards Army was composed of Soviet paratroopers.



It's video game about war. It's not ww2 simulator.

If they are not design to fight at frontline, which inf I should use for it? Cons? Penals? :foreveralone:


Maxims, mortars, shocks, snipers which are supported by guards list goes on and on ...

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

I'm confused.

I'd rather make them a costy long-mid range effective anti-infantry unit that could sacrifice AI for AT (PTRS upgrade). Even the in-game description says they are elite infantry. :P

Would you rather have your support weapons have 4 man with lower dps and long setup time?

I would rather have 1 MG which can cover 150degree than 3 MGs which can cover same area.

Just because snipers + Guards is good, doesn't mean Guards should be left unchanged. It seems more of an issue with snipers + faction design itself

The unit undepreforms for its cost, while it has AT capability, these are easily negated by German heavy armor as well as long range accuracy nerf. This unit losses to obers, volks, 2 gren squads, and other medium armor. They are only good aginst light armor and come out at 2 cp and require a 120 muni upgrade cost for a gun they can loose if they loose to many models. The unit comes out too late, is easy to counter, is a muni sink, and is a more expensive con squad with dp's and light AT.

75 muni* but the AT rifles still weigh them down. They have little purpose existing in the game.

That actually makes sense, since its pretty much what PTRS operators were trained for, aiming at tanks weak spots to immobilize it or kill the crew.

That no such ting exists, unless you mean assault guards with ppsh and SVTs.

The weapons guards have are ok, their effectiveness is not.
