Overkill. The soviet AT arsenal are already pretty nice. What would this do to OkW trucks if you could set it up close enough? It would shoot through buildings trees whatever,and then kill the truck in a few hits. I guess they could respond with a stuka.
I want to see the germans feel the pain in team games too,but for the health of the game Idk about this one
It would also have to be in a shitty doctrine knowing relic.
Well that would make sense? Other factions don't get tank-call ins with their Pak43. You may be right about OKW trucks though.
This attitude is a direct result of constant stream of disappointments in new soviet doctrines and units, complete inability to improve weak and never used ones, pretending the problem and the units don't exist as well as complete unwillingness of relic to make SU less dependent on doctrines, enforcing certain playstyles not only to be competitive, but to not loose to worse players just because they have incomparably better tiering and doctrines supplementing their army, not replacing it.
There is also a fair share of bitterness for remaining 3 factions but these need surgical cuts, not heart transplant and months of rehabilitation.
A good balance patch and improvements to what already exists to make it desirable is #1 on my personal list even against the fact that I LOVE new units and seeing how pretty much 100% of new units relic introduced from doctrines are more or less underpowered then basic units doesn't shed any bright light on the faction.
Fortunately, hope dies last and mine still is have a heartbeat.
You're right in general but stuff like KV-1 and M-42 were added just for the sake of recycling them from singleplayer, now that bit is done I have no reason to expect Relic to pick more outdated units to create.

im gettin too old for this shit
It's proposed for a doctrine without a call-in.
True.
For the sake of asymmetric balance, I gonna say no. And besides, I don't think relic is gonna release new content for free, or even new commanders at the moment.
As for a suggestion, I would say it could be a heavy ATG which can be towed by medium armor (T34s), It has lower range, higher ROF but good pen.
That's a nice suggestion but I'm not sure how Relic feels about towed items. It's a bit unprecented.
Absolutely no to anything that's basically a copy of another factions item.
Instead of crap like this i'd prefer Relic working on existing commanders & units, and keep soviet gameplay unique.
Or we gonna start topics all day long about stuff that might be cool to have in another faction?
Might do just that, I still think Artillery Field Officer should have always been a Soviet unit instead.
I think what you don't realize is that factions are different in general. Meaning, the units around them are different, what they face are different. They are similar units that would ultimately be different enough. Look at LeFH and ML-20. You wouldn't ask for one of them to be removed for asymmetry.
Moreover Axis still preserves many things as unique to them even after such an addition.
