Keep in mind this unit comes inside a commander that gives buffs to units near the FHQ. As a result, buffing this gun has serious consequences since it will make counter play near impossible. If you make it better against Infantry than German players cannot use MGs to control conscripts around the house. If you make it better AT than it always pays to go this commander since you don't need T2 for any form of AT.

Remove the unit and possibly add some more late game (Howie would be good) to a commander which is all or nothing after the 8 minute mark.

The faction already has a reliable AT gun, and TDs in every size and color. Its just overkill.. Soviets are no need of another doctrinal AT gun. Just remove it..

And why not? Static heavy AT defenses would work very good for USSR. Such as static AI defenses.
