Imagine cheap shock troopers; however, it only gives three out of six the PPSH.

So if your up against an Ostheer who has set up good positions and you have conscripts with the package and swarm them in numbers they are a nightmare. That is, if you have support like mortars or an SU-76 around. It might be also useful for going up against OKW players who start off heavy with Sturmpioneers.

Now Penals are now good at killing infantry, but giving your conscripts the package increases their close-quarters combat.

My experience with them is limited, since I mostly play USF all the time. However, I do hope someone will probably come into this thread and tell you their experience. One of the best commanders to have for the PPSH package is the Advanced Warfare Commander and since it has the PPSH package and the T-34/85 it is a good combination with the conscripts. There are other commanders who have this such as the Guard Rifle Combined Arms Tactics, Shock Army, and Conscript Support Tactics.

Hello!

How dare you throw facts at him, Katitof????

The USF mortar needs to be toned down. It should barely kill anything, but be a smoke dispenser for the USF when there isn't enough munitions for smoke grenades.

While I can sympathize with the Ostheer players about their demand for removing the mortar. Having the mortar at T0 can remove the boring early game the USF has done since the beginning of their faction's release. Like, it's boring to constantly throw 280 manpower for another squad because there isn't enough fuel to get a Lieutenant or a Captain on the field.

In other words, it breaks the monotonous beginning the USF does for every game. I mean, a USF player could try to mix things up with Rear Echelons, but we all know their worth in reality. It would lead to interesting plays, but Riflemen are the staple unit the USF knows it can last in the long run.

Now there is also a good little decision making for having the mortar around. If the USF chooses a mortar, he would lose a chance of another squad to cap the map or lose field presence on the battlefield. Meaning, there would be less Riflemen on the field because a USF took the chance to buy a mortar than another Riflemen. This is where a risk comes in that an Ostheer or an OKW player can take/destroy said mortar.

So having the mortar for the USF can do more good since it will lessen certain moments where an entire MG42 team gets surrounded because three Riflemen come from three different directions. We just need to hope that Relic can actually tone down the mortar without overnerfing its usefulness.

I actually love playing the Soviets in my opinion. While the USF is my current faction I play most of the time, the Soviets are very diverse and can take on certain situations. Not to mention, they also have a variety of commanders which the USF and UKF lack.

My only concern is how to keep a field presence without the Urban doctrine or retreating entire damaged units to heal. There is the M5 halftrack, but do you any advice on how to handle it without losing major ground?
