To be honest, they are only awful if you can't handle playing them. I still just keep noticing how everyone basically bitches and keep implying that the lesser and much cheaper soviet vehicles should outperform or be equivalent to the more expensive and better performance german counterpart. Even if they are already very cost efficient. Like the Su76, or m5, or even the t34/76. Cheap as chips vehicles should only get so good. Su85s shouldn't be effortlessly autopenning panthers and tigers on top of only being 120-125 fuel with high dps and 60 range. It just simply doesn't make sense.
so you want the soviets to go T4??do you know why soviets dont go T4???
First its the T3 building REQUIERMENT
Second its the awful units you get when you build it(just builded my latest tier stock building to get a T34-76 when panthers roam the field )
the su-85 has the same penetration as a ZIS-3 gun,its inaccurate at long range and costs alot to field
the the only worthwile unit you get are katyushas but then why bother with them
if the issue is T4 then buff those units and make them better and then you will see more people going T4,nerfing the su-76 will kill T1 and also make the su-76 useless BUT if you buff T4 people will see a reason going T4 in the first place.
just to understand how bad the units are in T4
T34-76(300 mp fuel 80)is barely better then a puma(320mp 70fuel)
the su-85(340mp fuel 120) has the same penetration as a ZIS-3 so why bring it in the first place??why spent so much MP and fuel to bring an su-85 when you can bring 3-4 lesser su-76 that give you more options and have the same performance as a su-85 at penetration.
if you play soviets you will see that half of the units you get are awful and they are just a waste of resources.
If you can't handle allies go play axis if its just so laughably easy.
