Maxims set up so fast that they are autonomous a-move assault units rather than support weapons.

This is true BUT Maxims have the slowest repack and retreat mechanic out of all the MGs. Once a inventory grenade hits, the others MGs "port" and repack for retreat easily.

Maxim is not the issue. The core problem is the size of there support crews.

Also I find the SU85, Non-shock pps to be way cost-efficient. But that's about it.

All I would do to fix Soviets make it so all support units use the (Squad Cost/Squad Members/2) reinforcement cost formula. This would cause support weapons to bleed more manpower when their crew members are killed.

Although this change would affect all factions, it would have the greatest impact on the Soviets thing as they rely so much on team weapons like Maxims. Right now reinforcing Soviet team weapons costs very little so killing crew members doesn't really accomplish much of anything.

Otherwise Soviets are pretty balanced imo. T-34/76 could cost less manpower or something ... KV-1s suck ... SU-76 might need a small nerf ... Soviet T4 is kinda useless unless you have T-34/85s.

Also, I think Soviet T1 is just poorly designed and can't really be fixed.

I apologise if you already know this but you can simply increase the reinforcement cost percentage of the Maxim squad instead of changing every support weapon.

No I know.
