Point is, previous SU system was out of control.
You gained 3CPs and it insta turned your MP and F income. Becasue of this, you could not afford any MP loses, doctrine forced you to use it.
OST drops are completly in your control. You decide if you need extra F or you want to keep MP in bank.
Well, it was OP in the first 10mins, when you could spam T70 but after 10min it was slowlt killing your map presence.
If it worked like old Mech turck conversion, so you can turn it off/on, then it would be OP.
As for now, Im fine with Ostwind or 251/17 taking down planes but investin 100ammo just to see how the plane is falling down to flaks in base or schwerer is just bad design when o the other side OST planes cannot be shot down.
Well you can see it like this 2: Ostheer player needs to make an ostwind to get your planes down.
I only pick soviet industry if i am against an ostheer. I never pick it against okw, bcs they have free anti air. You force an ostheer player to make anti air, which you can use in your advantage to make something anti tank and kill the anti air.
Every disadvantage has his advantage, as Johan Cruijff would say
