If the SU-76 isn't good against mediums, what's it for?
Its casemate design makes it suck against lights (which'll just circle-strafe it) and it's too small to fight heavies.

Su-76 does not need 100% chance to hit PzIV at range 60 (max) to be good.
Accuracy that is so high is simply broken.

It is combined with an IS-2 or KV-2 call-in.
But you scratch those and it's fine imho. I'd like to see similar performance on the StuG (which is in direct competition with its respective medium) but I see no problem with the SU-76m being reliable.
If it's too effective, I'd tone down the fire rate before handing its performance over to the random number gods.

Coh is based on RNG +100% chance to score a hit at max range is goes against the games design and is simply not necessary.
Else one has to lower penetration more or the unit will again be spammed.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

With a munitions cost on the barrage that's not all that different to spamming any other sort of TD. Two SU-76ms have a higher damage output than one SU-85, but lack self-spotting and their penetration drops off once you go above an Ostheer P4.
You could play with their range and fire rate if they're too effective versus Ostheer T3, but I see nothing wrong with a low performance variance in a reactive counter unit.

The barrage gets a massive buff with veterancy becoming superior to that of zis and with changes to mortars it is actually very effective.
Again watch the replay. The accuracy is simply too high while penetration remains high. Even with lower accuracy the unit would hardly miss due to collision hits.

But it costs munitions. When it didn't, spammed SU-76ms could all fire it.
With a muni cost it doesn't scale when you spam them.
Then surely lowering accuracy wouldn't achieve the intended goal?
There are plenty of other variables to play with if it's too strong.

The new accuracy can stay as long as the vet bonus accuracy is removed.

...give the 7th man a PPSH...7th man be a commissar model and have it be squad leader type situation.

Cons need LMGs - I think that 7 man con upgrade is just MP draining.

1 model with a ppsh would be a joke.

The real joke is how the balance team views conscripts (no offense). In their eyes they are a mainline infantry, but their combat capabilities are irrelevant. What’s important is their “utility”, while if you want combat capabilities you should just use penals.
At this point just delete conscripts and put penals in T0. We’d all be better off.

Penals in T0 would be a disaster. Currently they're balanced out by how slowly they deploy: if you could pump them out like Cons it'd be a nightmare.
