Soviet September patch discussion

If we're going to stick with the idea that Conscripts are only for support, not combat, then why not improve their cost effectiveness instead of combat effectiveness? Let's try them at 220 Manpower a squad and see how they do. Ironic that Soviets struggle with manpower, but not OKW, the one faction that should be scraping the barrel for Manpower scraps, it's completely inverted.

In order to improve the effectiveness of Merge, we could also reduce their Target Size to 1, and add a Squad Received Accuracy Multiplier of the same amount. This ensures Conscripts are less of a liability when merging, but still more likely to be killed on their own.


I still don't like the idea that they are only for support, what are they even supporting? This concept has just led to Penal meta because Conscripts and Maxims are nonviable. I still stand by the idea that Conscripts should get a stock PPSh upgrade available to them.

Actually what led to Penal meta were 2 things that happened in the same patch:
1) Maxim nerf
2) Penal being buffed so much that they completely broken for six months.

The baby AT gun with its insane range should have its cloak ability removed while on the move, the same as the raketen.

No performances is low enough to justify keeping creeping death cheese. If it's not deemed good enough without it fix it.

Agreed.
But what about scouting and tracking abilities? What if they could reveal creeping camo units? (They might already do it and im just being dumb)

Not sure what you mean.
Some recon abilities do reveal units but others don't it's strange. I wouldn't mind a normalization in that regard.
Camo wouldn't be such a big deal if there were more and reliable ways to dispel it.
