AT grenades, molotovs and their charge up ability which allows them to sprint for a short period of time. Granted that you have to unlock some of these abilities, but they're not extravagantly priced. They're also cheaper and have a 6 man squad which increases durability, so if you combine that with AT grenades, molotovs on top of doctrinal upgrades like AT rifles they're actually quite good.

If you watched EU ESL yesterday, you would see that Soviets were the most picked Allied faction(Because they're good, and the units they have are potent) and Conscripts who are supposedly UP or weak were used in each of those matches.

As Katitof would say, the problem isn't necessarily the faction, but rather between the chair and keyboard

If anyone is looking improve their Rus gameplay, watch any of the EU ESL cups. You have Conscripts, t-34's, KV2's and a lot of supposedly UP units making an appearance and winning.

Molotovs+At nades together cost 300 MP + 40 fuel. More than OKW T1 and 10 fuel lesser than OKW T2, just for to compare. And they don't worth it at all. Free flamegrenades are more effective, free panzerfasusts are more effective (look at stats, bigger damage, bigger penetration).

Ability to charge is cool, but it's not so cool, as axis-players thinks. You can stop that charge by only 1 MG burst, which will supress them immideatly and stop any charge. If Ura! Abilty could give them some supression immunity, then yes - it would be cool. Right now it's very questionable ability.

Combine with doctrinal upgrades? Lol, why my USSR upgrades suppoused to be doctrinal, while Axis upgrades are not doctrinal? Let's make panzerschrecks for Volks doctrinal too and put them into only 1 pretty useless doctrine and will see how loud Axis will start to cry.

And you always try to prove your words by ESL games. Bro, stop watching how people play and play yourself. You will find, that game is not such sweet, as they trying to show it on major competitves, like ESL.

trip flares are really good for 10 muni, problem is, almost no-one uses them.

That's what I talking about. When I thought about it I considered for myself: "allright, everything sounds like it is good ability. But nobody use it, so what's wrong?".

I think, problem is that efforts and time, which you spend on puting flaremines doesn't worth it. USSR is full of more easier to use sight ability - from light-rounds to recon planes. Keeping area under control with mines requiers from you too much micro and time and nobody wants to do that, even if it can be helpful.

So, it should be either automatic ability (for to make using of that not such troubling for players) or there should be another ability.

Flare mines are much better than Overwatch flares because flare mines kill units.

But they shouldn't kill units. They should give sight and only sight! For to deal damage USSR have another mines.

That's not such a serious problem, but still, something should be done about it:

Flare mines - vet 1 ability of most part of soviet infantry. Soviet infantry is definitely not best in game, some of them are even really bad, like Cons. And in addition to that Relic gave them veterancy ability which I never (again, NEVER!) used myself or saw used by ANY player for my 3 year playing in CoH 2 experience. And I'm sure, that there is very rare chanses to see anyone who would use that ability and more rare - gain something from it.

Of course, some could say, that it is "free and cheap vision", but right now USSR is full of vision stuff. Recon planes, Mortar's star shell, sniper's light round... And all of those tools are way easier to use for sight, than putting flare mines. Using them just takes your and your units precious time. I guess, that is a reason, why 99.9% of people never use flare mines, and even more - forgeting about existance of such ability.

And of course, you could say, that Ostheer's ability is quiet useless too, since you can just build Med-bunker and heal them easier, than just every time spend 20 muni on med-kits. But, med-kits are actually usefull and I use them often to heal soldiers on frontline, when I just can't order them to retreat and get healing after hitting them by mortar shell, for expample. That's not always kill someone, but may damage all sodliers in squad tough, so you can just give them medkit and don't call them back for healing. Healing at frontline can be really important, as you can see. But, it should cost cheaper, 10 muni maybe, since UKF soldiers can use same healing for free at all.

My suggestion - not so long time ago Relic gave to OKW intresting doctrine, Overwatch doctrine. There we have "Early warning" ability, which automaticly puts flare mines at all captured points. I suggest to make vet 1 "flare mine" ability work same. If point will be captured by vet 1+ soviet squad they will automaticly put there flare mine.

I don't think, that it will be OP somehow, cos flare mines make no damage and giving only 8 sec sight. So, nothing really significant changes, but people will start to use flare mines after that. Ok, game will do it instead for them, but still, it's better than have totally forgoten ability in stock, like it is today.

P.S. Moderators or someone - change word "decision" in name to "solution, pls. Bad knowledge of english causes such mistakes, sorry.

I really like the idea of adding the hummel but I think they should remove the recoup losses ability instead and change the flammhetzer to a regular hetzer rather than simply removing the flammhetzer.

Regular Hetzer will be 100% copy of Jagdpanzer, so what for you need it actually? Better then add there some other unit. Maybe place there Marder III as cheap version of Jagdpanzer - same power, but less HP and armor? Or, since it's feuersturm doctrine, add there Luchs 2 with flamer gun, there was such modification actually. Of course, for lesser CP.
