The real problem is that grenadiers over perform therefore spamming grens is the most chosen option. Reduce the effectiveness of grens and you will soon see alot more PG's.

Thank you for the input, everyone. Noted about streams, replays. I'm a fan of watching those anyway and hadn't factored that in, so if you include that, there's more...

To clarify, 2 games a week or so is what I would tend to do, but if upping play time just a bit could bring me into the lower half of midlevel, that might just be worth it. I was curious how much I'd have to step it up, as it were.

Also, was just generally curious about what an "esport" type game entails. The concept is new to me but it's something I'm interested in. Competing in a sport generally requires at least like ten hour a week commitment so what you're reporting makes sense.

So maybe a total of six hours a week in various MP stuff (mostly matches, a replay here or there) and that might be enough to play at a decent level?

I actually win slightly more than 50% of my matches when I do play, but that's usually against new players or other people who don't play frequently.

I think what most players have troubles understanding with the current penals is they do not fully understand soviet tier one. You need to think of soviet tier one as a scouting tier. You have snipers, scout car and penals. Snipers on hold fire and cloaked give you intel. Don't forget the flair too. Scout car gives you armor with sight bonus. Penals are an aggressive suicide unit to probe behind enemy lines. Although they need a Los increase to better represent their role.

Conscripts should be a long range dig and defend unit. Unfortunately because of Oorah and close range dps (ppsh upgrades) they are used in a human wave/suicide role. Which is what penals should be doing. The overlap of roles between penals and conscripts is one of the leading causes of this confusion.

Soviets need a redesign to clean up a lot of the big mess they are in. But it can be done with some small creative changes.

What if instead of upgrading their weapons conscripts could upgrade their squad size? Adding 2-3 more models would give the squad more dps but not as much as a LMG would add. More importantly the extra bodies would make the squad more survivable late game so it could be better as a meat shield, at nade platform, and better at merging into other squads.
