Molotov and AT have to be researched at HQ.Grens can do the same stuff without the need of researching it (´nade instead of molo.) and i feel like molotovs are only good against support weapons because mobile infantry can just dodge the molotov easily.Recrewing and merging weapons is the only thing i like about this dudes.Upgrades that makes them somewhat useful in later stages of the game (ppsh,htd,repairkit) are only commander abilities.
Maybe they arent as bad as it may sound but i really hate this unit as a core infantry.This guys would be great support units for a lower price or something. |
Well their German counterparts have more hps,are usually more accurate and have higher dps,so the german and the soviet units have a similar survivability but soviets survive longer against sniper,due to the fact they have more men.
I think there isnt a problem with the survivability of soviet infantry
but rather the lack of variety and strenght of soviet units.
I mean such a weak infantry(talking about Cons)just cant be a core unit of a faction since it doesnt offer any utility past midgame without relying on your Commander choice,also i think they already su.ck in the early with their horrible accuracy and 8% more received accuracy. |
The soviet faction needs a redesign imho.
Switching the tier of some units is the first thing thats needs to be done.I was thinking of something like this:
-HQ -> Clown car ,combat engineers
-T1 -> Sniper (small nerf) ,conscripts(small buff) ,Maxim
-T2 -> Zis-3,Guards(6x Mosin),82mm Mortar
-T3 -> T-70(cost reduction),M5,Su-76(buff),T-34/76
-T4 -> Su-85(buff),Katyusha,KV-85 (new unit,equals the panther)
HQ upgrades :1.Infantry can purchase SVT-40 Upgrade(3xCons,6xGuards)
:2.Infantry can purchase Bazookas (1xCons/Engineers)
:3.AI-Grenade(instead of Molotov) for Infantry
:4. 85mm upgrade for T-34
The DPS and accuracy of combat engineers should be raised slightly,they should be able to build bunkers and get 1xSVT-40 upgrade,DP-28 needs DPS-buff,so it can keep up with lmg-grens.
Well this are lots of changes(obviously these are major buffs) and i know that not all of you will like this,but i think it goes in the right direction (well at least somewhat). |
