Yes, but both axis factions have RIGHT TOOLS for it.
No side costs for AT/faust/shreck.
They have it from the get go.
Soviets have AT right from the get go and USF can get Zooks and BAR at the same time. Now that the Maxim has AoE suppression as well going for T2 has Soviets is a very smart decision against OKW and Ostheer even.
