I just played a game which in the end I was about to uninstall the game. First I am not that a good player as well as not being a noob. The particular Soviet meta I am going to talk about is bullshit, boring and which I encountered the third time after the latest patch. Playing as Ostheer, I came across with a Maxim spam,any flanking was to be punished by another maxim thanks to it's quick setup.(You always prefer a qick setup over a greater arc if you can micro your HMGs well enough.) Like 5 minutes passed as he gained the map advantage with his maxims and then he gathered his scripts and equipped them with PTRS which is a joke. It can overwhelm any kinda infantry OST got at any ranges if vetted up and in a cover unless OST player can survive maxims.
I rushed for Ostwinds, they worked just fine but scripts can just melt it with a ZiS support.
As he produces nothing fuel-wise and auickly teches up, you feel kinda doomed. I want Relic to rework this maxim spam and PTRS blob again as the latest updates for PTRS changed shit. Here is the replay if you want a look into
