Faced guards and pathfinders with BARs spam recently. And since it was really painful, I thought of something to prevent call-in inf spams. Suggestion is dull: merely add deployed squads quantity check and increase price for every call by, say, 50%. Same goes for every elite inf squad, exept osttruppen, ofc. These magnificent bastards are awesome as they are. What do you think?
Soviets have a harder time dealing with mgs. Molotovs don't insta-kill mg crew. Conscripts don't flank as well cuz their rifles aren't semi-auto (don't deal as much damage.) They don't have non-doctrinal smoke so, soviets deserve a mortar.
USF nades don't insta-kill mg crew either. And you don't have to move survived mg from burning building. USF had some problems dealing with well placed mgs.
You've got *some* point. Maxim is awesome. But Soviets simply dont have any soild early game infantry units. Cons? Please. Penals? Even worse. So its maxim spam all the way. Because of lack of other options. Something had to be done with it.
