The overall preformance outside of their repair abilities have everything to do with how quick a tank can get back in the fight.
The soviets CE is the weakest in all other areas except repair. on that front its on par with the rest. The PIO,S while repairing will see an incoming threat to the damaged tank they are repairing sooner. Thus giving a better chance to get the tank out or let other at sources force it off. this is a reason why the CE is justly cheaper.
Ost next to having better overal engineer has better AT and more option doctrinal and nondoc to avoid damage up until the SU85 is deployed.
yes their option to heal and reinforce on the field do cost you recourses. i never said that it didnt. and ofcourse it means less squads on the field but reinforcing and healing on the field is never to be underestimated or ingnored because people tend not to use it because your investment can be countered. The side tech for cons and merging all the time does the same, it still costs you mp and lots of it if used often. Cons can easely be lost during merge. and merge aint free you need to replace the models and or the squad after a merge, its not that the models magicly respawn for free after x seconds. You need to play some soviet it seems.
Soviets have lots of repair options including the doctrinal ones. Because they lack a lot of options to avoid damage. all their stock armour is penned with ease they lack smoke options unlike ost and okw armour does. Their vet doesnt increase their durability in the slightest, the CE,s are mostly rubbish in combat outside the flamer, they dont have extra sight or can they dual equip or put their sweeper away or get AT weapon upgrade.
i,ve said my piece about the CE and their cost to preformance ratio. feels like i am talking to wall on this subject. There is no reason to increase the cost of CE,s just because they repair at the same pace as other engies do.
I never said cons are weak up or usseles. i think cons are finaly golden, they have never been better in fact. I said cons are cheaper to reinforce for the reason of low dps per indevidual model. Furhtermore they are actualy pretty expensive inf compared to others to get them at their max potential. Just as they have a very high micro tax as well to be at peak preformance compared to others.
Also back to heavy tank repairing. its still easier for axis to pen anything allies can field except the IS2. this is a reason they get back on the field faster. Axis have better chances to bounce and more options to avoid damage esp then soviets, while also having a lot more acces to their heavies. there is no denying this fact.
For however slighty more costeffecient allies can repair their tanks they tend to loose their tanks slightly more often then axis do. its called balance.
Ost has repair station doctrinaly now just as soviets do, ost has blitz/extra hp and armour with vet/pznr smoke/smoke strafe (to avoid damage and help escape) sov can get to do crew repairs and can ram (for 300mp 100F)to secure a kill. Thats some more balance.
It is very difficult to repond to all of this. I simply don't agree with most of the stuff You write about how soviets are inferior. They are very strong imo. Remember that you can't mix ostheer with OKW as these are two completely different armies. We''l simply have to disagree. Back to the topic of the thread: repair speeds of ostheer are the slowest, next there is OKW with very expensive repair unit. Soviets and UK are faster and sov repair more cheaply, while USF is the best at it. It affects the use of heavy tanks largely - silmilarly to healing for infantry. Imagine that one faction has limited, much inferior and more expensive healing.
For graphic card such resolution might be a bit heavy in other games. But yeah, up-down map view is identical to full so pointless to add any more pictures I guess
