As it was already stated before, the problem is that Soviets don't have much choice against equally skilled players, Cons just don't cut it anymore, they are versatile yes but that's it, they won't be able to win any fight on their own as the game progresses, in the lategame they are almost useless, except for snaring or re-crewing/merging.
They don't hit anything while being squishy af, so why invest in such a unit if you can get a maxim that might well scale into lategame without becoming useless.
Soviets are lost without guards (which are decent at best), or shocks, if soviets actually had decent infantry not every 2nd player would play the same strat.
The Maxim HMG needs a hotfix.

First thing I would like to see is that units that are completely in green cover don't get suppressed (as it is supposed to be). Currently, it's simple the roll of a dice wether your squad gets suppressed or not.
It's less a roll of the dice and more that cover bonuses are applied by the entity, but the 'in cover' symbol only indicates the squad. It is either when the squad leader is in cover, or the majority of the entities are in cover, that the symbol appears.
Either way, there's often a high chance there are entities NOT in cover that are eating all the suppression for the whole squad.
Cover is applied by entity and suppression applied to the squad. This is what causes that sense of 'dice rolling'.
Infantry just are too stupid/blind in combat to move or position themselves out of open cover, or simply can't find their way to cover on their own.

How do I counter the luchs that inevitably comes out every time i spam maxim?
I like to go for a commander with guards. They come fairly early and if the OKW is reckless with his Luch because of his desire to annihilate your maxims, you can easily trap it with button

Maxims are fine and require far more babysitting then mg42s or even 50cals.

The only fix which I could come up with are these;
Increased setup time by 1.5 seconds,
OR
Increased cost to 280Mp
Accompanied by some moderate buffs for peniles.

Cover is applied by entity and suppression applied to the squad. This is what causes that sense of 'dice rolling'.
Infantry just are too stupid/blind in combat to move or position themselves out of open cover, or simply can't find their way to cover on their own.
There are other factors as well. There's something called incremental suppression which in theory is to help with suppressing blobs. What happens is that this doesn't apply on number of squads rather than models been caught in the search radius. Unless something has been changed, this means that it's easier to suppress a conscript squad rather than Rifle or IS. From the little test i did a while ago, it seems it applies per 3 entities caught in it's search radius (i had discrepancy between Rifles and conscript getting suppressed behind green cover).
The thing is, if you have +12 models, you will get suppressed fairly quickly by a MG42 (4/6 burst) even if you are perfectly behind green cover at medium to long range.
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Everyone needs to sort of stop messaging in this thread if you think it's "dumb", myself included.
OP created 2 threads on his opening account. This and 6 man SU. Almost identical threads about identical issues.
Please let this post die in peace and stop bringing up a non-issue.

Maxims are slightly OP just slightly. They just need a 1 or 1.5 second setup time more and I think they would be balanced.

That and the motorcycle pathing/death loop because increased packup+ deathloop would end the unit and even though bad pathing is what defines relic all of it needs to go....
