Not allied units. I'm talking on Soviet Kat.
We agree that Pack howi,leig,croc,centaur need a nerf, we also think Typhoon need a nerf.
We participated in the 2v2 tourney in where we only lost 1 game as axis,playing against good players like sturmtigers and nosliw (old reborn guy) with USF/Brit centaur croc typhoon and that stuff.
Our testing custom games purpose is to find a strategy and #Adapt to the current meta of the game.

Actually i found that units in russian tier 1 severly underperforms.

M3 - only unit that is in tier 1 fine , if we buff it we will see cpt.molos scout cars and that isn´t my goal i want to reach.

Penals- these troops cost almost like USA rifles but they dont have utility of concripts nor firepower of riflemen.
I think buffing theri DPS values somewhere between conscripts and rifles will be fine , with best DPS at mid range.

Also they need to unbug satchel charge becuase now its characterized like small explosive and it can´t destroy not even damage houses

Sniper squad.
I think these guys are OK in terms of survivability and ROF (yes ostheer one is better but its one men , more suspectible to sniper countersnipe)
I just want to improve their abilities and playability.

Right now they only cloak when their in cover and when you move them out of cover (its enaught to move em out of cover , they simpli decloak ) and decload after you move them out of cover , while other snipers and even 5 men commados are able to move form cover to cover in short distances until they gett decoaked. Right now soviet sniper will show himself even if you try to move him from one chair to another in arnhem checkpoint.

Also move flare to vet 0 and give them vet 1 ability that alloves them to build medium cover hedgerow (like in champaign) - it will be still weaker than ostheer niper incediary shot.



To sum up: buff penals mid range (so their better than cons but not much better) , unbug satchel , give sniper squad bigger cover to cover decloak time (no after fire that one is fine) , give him light cover in vet 1 and move flare to vet 0 and leave m3 as it is.

The reward should be having access to units that are superior in the given situation because you made the right decision tech-wise. For example an Ostheer player is rewarded teching T4 for Panthers/Panzerwerfer against a player that has a SU85 and infantry blob. In coh1 a WM player was rewarded for rushing Pumas if the US player invested heavily early in triage/BARs/nades and didn't make a large impact with them. Brits are pretty much fucked because 1>2>3 tech structure does not reward picking the right building. Soviets could be redeemed by removing the T3 before T4 requirement. More global upgrades would also help in that regard but I highly doubt that is going to happen.

Building everything to get your end game unit isn't really a decision nor does it encourage actually building stuff from those tiers since the fuel would just be saved for the T0 unit instead. I think people get this misconception that "combined arms" for the sake of diversity is skillful play....its not. Skillful play is when you make a smart decision to get unit B instead of another unit A because it actually makes your army stronger in that particular situation, not because some guy in Vancouver made a arbitrary decision to require more variety.

Something that would actually make the game harder and raise the skill gap a bit would be to change up the population/upkeep system. Many units take up far too much population, leading to less total units and also less manpower for buying new units. I played a vcoh 1v1 the other day and I had 6 rifles, a Ranger, a M18, 2 engineers, 3 AT guns, a mortar, and a stolen MG42 and I still had 220 income and a little bit of spare population. I'd rather see high unit counts with a moderate amount of variety than far less units with more "combined arms." The game is more interesting when you are micro'ing a bunch of stuff all over the place versus putting 50% of your attention towards a vehicle that takes up 1/3 of your population like its a MOBA hero. Theres some things that worked better in the original game that are probably never going to be changed because it would require some radical redesign (commander system for example), on the other hand population tweaks are a change that would be really easy to roll out in just one patch.

Why does tech need to be rewarded, anyways? Ostheer and Soviets never got anything by teching and they somehow survived. Then to make things cool, USF and OKW got bonuses for their teching structures. UKF base artillery is... Extremely crap. Regardless, you spend resources to tech for the sake of winning, not for getting a pat on the back for doing something you would do anyways for the sake of the match...
