Why ? Soviet stealth seems balanced to me

Why ?
It's got all the shift-queue incompatibilities of Raketenwefer stealth and it's even slower. It makes them really irritating to reposition when you're microing a load of other units at the same time.

well it’s the drawback of having stealth , invisibility is a strong tool

Maybe the easiest stop gap is to remove retreat but give it a 5 man crew.
It will be wiped at every single push

The zis also gets great bonuses first strike bonuses.

It's a drawback of the implementation of that stealth.
I would give up moving while stealthed in a heartbeat if it meant making the cloaking a passive.

Seems like mostly everyone agrees that its an exploited mechanic. On a scale of Cons getting late game upgrades (1) to JLI is OP, Plz Nerf (10), what's the likelihood we can get something changed here?

You'd have to ask the balance team.

I don't care about the ability to stealth and move or fast deploy, the problem with reketens it's the stupid ability to retreat.

The only reason raks make it to the late game is the stealth mechanic, they die super easy to anything. So you need to do something to help it's survivability if we nerf how useful it's stealth/retreat is.
Yeah I think trading cloak for a 5th man would be a nice place to start. Or a severely limited cloak at least.
I think you have to go 5th man, because spreading out the crew becomes counterproductive on an AT gun real quick. You don't want guys taking forever to replace a loader

remove cloak = fixed.
what else?

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

Cloaking for Raketen should be changed to only work within your own territory as the ability is intended to be used defensively.

That makes raks special and interesting to steal for allied. As HMG42 for their suppression.
Its retreat ability should stay regardless the camo rework. They are a weaker AT format after all.
I always wondered what if the rak crew get a dmg buff (i mean their kar98s) as a compensation for a stationary cloak mechanic.
I think its its a good idea to compensate raketens since without their cheese they become almost UP

why dont we remove raketen from the game instead? It will have the same effect.

its intended mostly as an ambush mechanic, rather a defensive one. It can serve both pruposes

The stealth is frustrating to play against.
Racketens are frustrating to use.
Can we just give then M42 stats already so everyone can have a better time. Put them behind buying a truck if you must. Lighter firepower, longer range, no retreat, can camo but moves at glacial speeds doing so.

"So in fact Rak's low survivability to small arms comes only from exposure to them because of short range."
It comes from the gun crew formation being ultra tight.
How exactly tight formation affects survivability to small arms?

You probably have not faced multiple M-42 and their canister shots, OKW with such a cost efficient weapon would probably be OP.
One could simply try a vet overhaul, cloak only when static faster reaction times for the gun and damage reduction for crew.
Or a redesign with lower penetration but deflection damage more like a handheld rocket weapon than an ATG.

even with 5th man it'll still get wiped very easily
