OP is right, SU has no NON doctrinal real counter to them. getting 2 early su85, which are worthless against infantry, trying to vet them up to vet 3 is a good deal tho. even on frontal assaults.
Why does relic always fucking screw up artillery? 75% of all that is OP, are those that wipe uncontrollably. Namely ARTILLERY. Flame vehicles get nerfed into uselessness, but time and time again we get artillery that is wiping entire armies off the face of the planet every other patch.
thats balancing overall in a nutshell. either something is op, or its beyond useless.
remember when bofors, okw AAHT was wiping infantry in building withing seconds? now it does close to zero damage at all. balancing done right.
