higher armor and/or pen makes a tank more valuably over the long game but you cant rely on it in a single engagement where you always have to assume the worst case (that your tank gets penned everytime)

but back to the topic, the p4 vs t34/76 matchup isnt really the point of this thread, isnt it?

@GiaA what would you actually nerf and how would you compensate for that?

1. Remove all Mainline Inf sandbags across the board.
2. Increase mine cost to 40. (They'd still be used i guarantee it)
3. Decrease Anti Infantry Dps on t70, make the vision ability a temporary ability with a small ammo cost instead of toggle, slightly decrease t70 cost to 60-65
4. Make ZIS Barrage Vet ability and increase cooldown
5. Make Trip wire flares vision only maybe decrease price to 5.
6. Rebalance the entire pop cap system, it's one of the most unbalanced parts of the game imo
7. Ideally I'd remove 7men con upgrade but I do understand that this would probably require giving penals a more prominent role or makin shocks/guards stock

In terms of compensation?

1. Buff maxim suppression slightly. I feel like this unit is always either op or up with no in between depending on how much suppression it causes. Would be hard to find the sweet spot
2. Nerf Ostttruppen, I don't care how but make them less cost efficient vs cons
3. Nerf 5men Grens for obvious reasons although they don't affect OH vs Sov that much
4. Nerf PG Vet 2 and 3
5. Nerf FHT Damage
6. Nerf Stuka AT Strafe (should be nerfed into the ground just like Soviet loiter imo, if loiters can't be removed they need to at least be weakened)
7. Remove Puma Smoke
8. Nerf Flak HT damage, should be mainly a suppression tool imo and could quickly become op with stronger okw late game
9. Make all healing AOE like the US ambulance, as you've mentioned this would mainly benefit soviets, getting heal after big infantry pushes should be a sensible choice instead of making you sit in base for a minute
10. Remove the Stormtrooper wipe ability

Edit: Imagining cons without sandbags makes me realize how realiant they are on them. Which kinda supports the point I made earlier. Honestly without sandbags and no changes to soviet elite infantry I'd be down to moving 7men to t3 as an experiment. However I'd remove the reinforce cost decrease because T3 arrives early enough to actually make it significant.

you dismissed it as not a real argument... soo if penetration isnt a real argument then lets just give all axis tanks 0 penetration and armor and see how irrelevant it is....

It's not a good argument when comparing mediums. It is a highly relevant argument when talking super heavies.

Its funny how someone who have made "faction OP" with a total of zero factual arguments based on stats or replays, using "because I said so" and at best anecdotal "evidence" has the audacity to post such a line unironically in a thread that is nothing else then "I have no idea how to play vs soviets, I don't understand the faction and no, I will not even attempt to learn, so don't bother explaining it to me".

What's a factual argument in your mind? You're the one debating as if you actually played the game which you don't. You wouldn't win 1 out of 100 games against me and as I said I'm not a good player

Don't worry, I never expected you to.
You clearly do not understand actual stats or basics of balance, I didn't even dreamt you'd understand such meta reference.

Yea, sorry I was busy actually playing the game we're talking about and gaining a good grasp of its mechanics.
