I'm not sure why, maybe it's me, or is it that soviets as a faction is very weak? I barely see people play it. Everyone is either USA or Brit?

Terrible infantry selection outside of guards and expensive teching kills any point to going Soviet over USF or UKF.

That is what I'm afraid of. Something has to be done to buff the Soviet faction

They were pretty much the best faction before USF rework.

Maybe people should have a look at soviet winning ratio in GCS2 and in the 2vs2 tournament. USF are pretty strong now but that doesnt mean that Soviets are weak.

Same teching issues as USF prior to rework
Useless mainline infantry with no scaling into late game
Hilarious cost of upgrades for said useless infantry
There is reason everyone is playing Penals/T1 for years now, how is that fine I have no idea

IMO soviets still the best Allied faction. (SU>UKF>USF)
I think they are just tired of the same braindead penal strat. (Like me)

i really like soviets for the overall flexibility. They have properly the most viable openings/build orders/commanders.

The reason why you see less soviets this patch is that people got bored playing only soviets last patch... No ballance issue to find here.

theyre by far the best faction... they lack nothing and are easy too play in early mid and late game.

Soviets are weak this current patch outside of one meta, you can see all the top players struggling to find something that works with them because penals+guards is just the only viable build when it's not the one and only urban def.
They have also been trying to fool around with defense doctrine with both dshk and m42 so you can counter okw blob and luchs but as much as they tried to believe it, the dshk is just trash.

T34 85 needs to have slightly less AI. It's shells are basically on par with Sherman HE yet it does everything.

I think people got bored playing with Soviets as USF and UKF are somewhat "new"ish.

Soviets are fine, definitely not underpowered. The only issue is as people have said there is next to no variety until Conscripts are made viable, Penals are good but it does get stale eventually.

Soviets were not changed in the past 6 months, they did not become any weaker than they were around GCS2 and the AC tourneys. The only real thing that changed is that USF and UKF became stronger and more diverse, and people have flocked to playing those. I suppose because those faction are ultimately more effective right now, and because it's more fun. Soviets are still strong, just boring to play.

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.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.
