Buff cons/penals and nerf Maxim to end support weapon spam
Posts: 471
Conscripts scaling horribly means they are just not worth building, which is why everyone spams Maxim or Snipers.
Please buff cons and increase Maxim setup time to get us actually using conscripts!

It's more that Soviet T2 has everything an SU player needs: ZiS, Mortar, and MG. Conscripts are T0 so nothing has to be spent getting them out. T1 is investing in a detour, and only effective on highly urbanized maps and gimmicky team games.
Spamming maxims is as effective (if not more) as any other (current) strategy, and it doesn't hamstring the Soviet player's ability to tech into the midgame.

Everyone is sick and tired of using shocks and guards doctrine and the only way not to get roflstomped is to spam maxims.
Just nerfing maxims won't fix anything except for making soviets UP at all but early mid game stage.

Maybe add an option for "just buff cons" to the poll?

Playing against 6+ Maxim builds is getting boring.

i never did maxim spam. And never saw anyone does it in tourneys. Last events showed that all factions are pretty balanced.
Plus all MGs have exact same setup time.
Cons A-click vs grens A-click = grens win 100% of the time.
But cons have a sandbags and vet1 mines. Only problem I see here is that putting mines everywhere require too much actions comparaded to axis A-clicking.

Anyway, I enjoy using a few maxims in 1v1. It makes me feel like the British in Africa in the 1890s/1900s or von Lettow-Vorbeck in East Africa setting up Machine Guns in depth, then bringing one 'round the side to pour enfilading fire down into those savage- I mean Nazis. Then a T70/ZSU, then three SU76s and wait for IS2.
Fucking great m8. Choccy can attest to this. Do you still remember our game on Minsk, Choccy? nearly a month and a half ago I reckon. Great times.

As long as cons and penals aren't scaling and killing more stuff then it kills them, maxims will always be used over them.

Same as volks. Just nerfing or removing panzerschreck would not solve anything. It would only leave OKW without any proper AT solution.
I would buff Penals, and nerf maxim... for example remove or decrease maxims point capture ability.
Maxim spam would lose serious capping power without breaking maxims performance... while the soviet player should choose between heavy infantry gameplay with penals or light infantry + support weapons with conscripts.

aaa unless it's been fixed it previously did not work correctly. So say that with having tried. I currently cannot out of country.
i do it all the time since yesterday.
AHK to quee mines while moving with A-click. Maybe there is some BS in there cuz its a changed version of
other script. At least it works
b::
flare()
return
Flare(){
BlockInput, Mousemove
setMouseDelay 60
setKeyDelay 60
mouseGetPos xpos, ypos
send +q
send +{click, xpos, ypos}
send +v
send +{click, xpos, ypos}
setMouseDelay 20
setKeyDelay 20
BlockInput, MousemoveOff
}
