they can, snipers being a good example, but they cannot be a whole faction and they cannot be the only (effective) unit in a role. that leaves very few spots for glass cannons; basically units like the stug and sniper.

OKW flame nades have to be better because they have to contend with the Maxim, best HMG in game that comes before first minute. Molotovs are CHEAPER, Cons can sprint, and have at nade...

uhh... best HMG in game? i beg to differ. Why do I see players trying to steal MG42s and Vickers instead of Maxim? Molotovs and AT nade are locked behind 2 separate side costs....

Wehrmacht Faust isn't free, it's included in T1 cost. They need early Faust because of early allied vehicles like m20 m3 uc etc

It's free in the sense that you're going to tech regardless. You're not going to play T0 all game are you?

Soviets have better light vehicles and more mobile support weapons to balance out their crappy nondoctrinal t34. ANYWAY, if opponent goes Panther don't build the unit the Panther is designed to counter

i'd say mortar halftrack and pinpoint accurate mortars with higher RoF (that got nerfed a bit) is pretty good mobile support weapons. This doesn't include the 250 halftracks

OKW flak is annoying...but their tanks are expensive, and the faction doesn't have long range Pak, MG, or indirect...HMG play and indirect fire punishes them so hard that their earlier armor doesn't matter (against USF it's annoying but .50 cal + shermans/Stuarts/Howie can shut the blobs down

OKW flak isn't just annoying, it locks down entire areas for long durations especially early game.

Panzerfusilers have 6 men..and? Just build the hard counter dude, HMG or elite shock infantry like paratrooper or Soviet elite. G43 upgrade is one less shrek, if they afford shreks and g43s before you get tanks out your not applying enough pressure as Soviet or USF.

Soviet sniper is better at killing other snipers/high end infantry, Ost sniper is best at holding line against basic troops, UKF sniper is anti-vehicle support and can call in arty.

Soviet snipers are NOT better at killing other snipers. They just have a higher survivability in counter-snipe situations. OST sniper can survive a mortar to the head. My 3 vet SOV sniper is an instant squad wipe against a mortar round. OST sniper has the highest recloak time and RoF. OST sniper doesn't differentiate between basic infantry and elite troops. A snipe is a snipe... UKF anti-vehicle support... when's the last time you saw someone build the UKF sniper to counter a vehicle? Arty? please tell me you've used the 25 pounder base howitzers... please look at all the threads people have created for them. waste of munitions.

cons purpose are not as core troop like grenadier or rifle, they are a utility type unit that flank and harass. Use snipers, maxims and vehicles with guards to hold the Soviet late game map center

All in all you just need to look at balance from every angle and improve

Yes, that includes you and me as well. SOV T1 useless. OP AEC. OP Calliope. OP Panzerwerfer. OP Flak track.

Medic HQ that can survive 200-250 muni off map artillery.

air supremacy operation and sector artillery both drop flares. air supremacy is where the ability is targeted (and then the circle shows up) and sector is only able to target capture points and thus the flares drop on the cap point (and then the sector turns yellow). the only ability i know of that doesn't drop any flares is the stuka dive bomb (the one with the siren) and that one is its own little can of worms.

This is balanced by Raketens having low range and DPS compared to other AT guns, and JP4 being the most expensive non-superheavy TD.

Granted, the JP4 phasing issue needs to be fixed, the cloak is fine. Maybe make it easier for infantry to detect so that supporting troops can protect your armor better, but no more than that.
