Soviets - Too Strong

Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2016, 17:20 PMAerohank

Soviets are fine, just a few minor changes needed:
- Small increase in maxim set-up time to make the maxim a support unit rather than an autonomous a-move unit that can function very well on its own.
- Penal troops need some utility. Penal troops really do not serve any role not already filled by other troops. They are only moderately more expensive and powerful than Conscripts, which does not justify the cost of getting T1 in order to build them. One option would be to make them elite-infantry by simply increasing both their cost and DPS.
- 120mm mortar is not worth 13 supply; it should be reverted back to 10 supply.

Other than that the faction is fine.

I'm sorry but you guys are terribly bad, if as OKW you get downed by Guards, SU76 spam, and maxims.

Shocks I can understand.
But all the upper have been nerfed beyond any logical possibility, what are you asking of soviets?

They are with no doubt the weakest faction right now.

Just to make this clear, it is your stated and unambiguous opinion that Maxims are fine at the moment?

Soviets are the weakest faction in the game.

They need a multitude of buffs. Penals, conscript scaling, T-34/76, horrible vet.

Sure. Give Ostheer 5 men Grens, buff P4's accuracy and pen, fix pios, buff brummbar and make T4 more useful.

Note: Soviets are one of the best faction both in tourney and in automatch.

lol, are you guys crazy? maxim is the worst mg in the game, terrible suppression, almost no damage, the set up speed means nothing when the arc cover nothing besides max range and the worst thing is the fact that it can only move foward (seriously, this is so retarded).

people only spam maxims because anything else is terrible too, but maxims are annoying as hell.

the only good things about soviets right now is ppsh for cons and guards with DPs(finally after 3-4 years they became useful). But you cant put guards in danger or you will drop weapons and bleed too much manpower.
