Schu mines don't oneshot lights, though.

but costs 30 muni and the teller 1shots vehicles instead

and riegel mines completely IMMOBILIZE tanks, saw a poor kv-1 hitting one, and then getting slowly poked to death by a single pak-40

Give ostwind suppression


in exchange for it doing absolutely shitty DPS at mid and long range

*laughs in Raketen, easiest to wipe AT gun in the game*

(it has a retreat ability anyway)

What they should just unironically include in the patch (which i should've added in my previous comments):

SU-76 rework idea - the unit is overshadowed by the T-70 and is extremely situational (imo underperforming as well in it's designated role). The tin can TD will get trashed by the stug if it rushes it, or anything else, which it can and will. However, sov needs anti-infantry armor as soon as it can. Therefore, the SU-76 should have it's barrage ability replaced with a kv-2-lite siege mode, where you set up for a short period of time, and then fire HE shells in the 60 range that you have. You also have to de-siege in the same short time period, so you cant mindlessly pull a fortified armor and immobilize your tanks with no drawbacks. (Since they will never give it the sherman rounds system, this is the next best idea)

-remove osttruppen and pfusilier minute 0 snares, lock the former behind battle phase 1, and the latter behind volks faust. Why? because it makes no logical sense, and is completely out of line with the game logic.


-probably remove the maxim because its completely fucking awful, who even makes that thing? give it the mg-42 arc or give it the mg-42 suppression within the arc, having an inferior weapon is not asymmetrical balance!

-the M-42 meme gun should get it's cost reduced to 200 or have longer shrapnel shell range - its unfortunate that a coh2 developer sent his okw blob into 3 to 4 M-42s and promptly lost his infantry, resulting in a hotfix. basically becomes irrelevant when tanks arrive, and LVs will always retreat to safety due to the low damage this thing fields. The current shrapnel shot range is tiny, and cover does a good job on mitigating it's damage. blob punishing really should not be nerfed

unrelated note, but congratulations for the staff team and their achievement of not giving either axis factions a game breaking crutch strategy

AFAIK there were a lot of iterations of nerfs to maxim, because it very spammable and mobile. Maybe balance team is afraid of touching it again.
DShKa is awesome. It is a highly mobile and very effective suppression platform with 6 models. Won't be surprised if some say it is the best HMG in the game

Why is it that the balance team doesn't wanna touch allied weapons because they were actually good 6 years ago, but then give axis a game breaking strategy each fucking patch?

the maxim seems to only work when you get to fight an mg-42 in building vs building, but if you fire first and the enemy doesn't have vet 1
