The point is, that their superior range is everything that makes them viable. They also cost a shitload of resources and come to the game very late.

So I think it their range advantage is completely justified.

I wouldn't necessary agree with you on this point. They have a lot of advantages beside range. I am using the spreadsheet made by Endeav for numbers so plsc correct me if they are wrong.

Elephant: cost 640MP 240F /damage 320 /penetration 170 /max. range 100 /speed 2.7 /acc 1
Tigar: cost 720MP 200F /damage 160 /penetration 154 /max. range 40 /speed 3.9 /acc 1.8

Other stats are in the spreadsheet. With this numbers I would gladly give it a bit more mobility in exchange for this range (2.5 times grater than tiger is a bit crazy IMO). ISU is not that OP because it has weaker armor and costs more, but just a bit smaller range would be good, at least IMO.

Well as I see it there are two problems here. One is that Cons louse their survivability in the late game, and another is that nobody is using penals.

I really like the solution for the Cons that Strummingbirds sugested in his first post with the global PPSH upgrade for 200MP and 60F. People sugest that if we give this to Cons no Peanls will be build. They are never build as it is. In my opinion they must be made to fulfil the uique purpose. People will never build T1 to get just a bit better anti inf unit if they can use that fuel for faster tacking and geting say T70. Also another problem is if you make penals cheap and T1 fast building than people will never build Cons, so they should be made to fulfill completely different roles in the game.

I sugest to give the Cons PPSH global upgrade as Strummingbirds sugested in his first post for 200MP and 60F, and make Penals as a counterpart to PanzerGrenadiers. Give them better DPS, better survivability and give them a possible upgrade with 2 bazukas. In this way both units would have a unike purpose on the battlefied and people would have more variety with their tactics.

I know the sovites didnt have much bazukas in WW2 but there were some used that were given to them as part of Lend-Lease, and some were given to them during the Operation Torch.

Any thoughts?

+1

is it spending at least 4-8 hours a day perfecting micro?
is it finding the winning build order?
is it a winner set of mind?
is it knowing the inner gears of the game? (dps / weapon modifiers / etc..)
is it finding a solution to a problem instead of winning about dis balance?

well you got the point, whats your opinion?

All of the above.

I also thing the seasons would be great. Every 6 months clear the stats and pronounce the winner of the season.
