Nice review Finndeed

Fun fact: Tellers can also 1 shot squads because the model limit placed on other mines was never placed on them. You just have to manually rupture the mine with a penetrating source like an AT gun.

On topic: Demos should just be removed. In a game based on retreating and preservation 1 shotting squads from full HP is a massive flaw, also only given to the allies.

Give WM a good light tank and then nerf the Teller. The demo for soviets it's not something they need. It's just an OP way to wipe vet3 squads without much effort. In the late game usually munis are not in short supply.

This guy knows what's up ^

Maxim is being reworked to be a support weapon, not mainline infantry. MG42 is like the golden standard for MGs imo. It does its job well but with good coordination, micro and indirect it can be defeated. It also must be mentioned that garrison rushes are a part of teamgames because garrisons are so powerful. I suggest rushing key garrisons yourself so you can beat the MG42 to the garrison.

I was just spitballing a way to fix the Lelic decision of cramming penal troops into the stock soviet army, which is a bit silly. Obviously they would need their stats adjusted accordingly.

you spitballer you Kappa although the idea is decent. I don't see why they can't just do that with penals.

How do they have stronger tank destroyers? Do you prefer a SU-85 vet3 or Firefly vet3 over a JP4 vet5? I don't.
Tank destroyers destroy tanks, not infantry - they are not the spearhead of an assault. They can only avert the power of tanks from their allies. How is that going to help the infantry if it's already overwhelmed by the enemy's infantry?

How are the allied mediums outclassing the axis mediums? What are you refering to? I don't know about you, but my favourite medium tank from the 640hp class is the OKW P4. That thing is a nightmare for the allies once he reaches vet4(granted he survives).

And how can you just call those heavy tank destroyers a design flaw? Are we now supposed to ignore them and act like they do not exist? How is your opinion helpful to form a consent?

Oh and btw, it's not like "allies" have mark target - there are 3 precisely 3 commanders from the Soviet faction that can use it. I might as well refer to "axis" having stuka bombs whenever anyone complains about op "allied" infantry.

Try getting a JP4 to vet 5. I see far more vet 3 FFs and SU85s than JP4s.

Allied infantry is not being obliterated by axis atm. Allied players have gotten used to 9 months of Penals and rifles obliterating anything in their path and charging through open ground against axis infantry and winning.

Any allied medium out classes the p4 at vet 0. OKW is supposidly based on keeping your units alive to get to vet 5 to be effective, but how can you achieve higher vet when allied tanks come sooner and are more effective for lower price. T34 series annihilate infantry ATM and T34/85s are fantastic spammable tanks that can deal with almost any threat. Cromwells and comets are self explanitory. The sherman is actually a pretty decent tank, it's just overshadowed by the t34s and cromwells.

Heavy tank destroyers are a massive flaw in design. How is it fair that axis can have an 85 range Tiger that can 2 shot mediums with higher armor than a KT? When the JT is supported correctly its near impossible to defeat on specific maps. The game would run much better and would require more skill if it just relied on 60 range tank destroyers.

Yes, you can say "allies have mark target" any top soviet player not only will bring a mark target commander to bring down heavies, but they're also on some of the most meta commanders. Guard motor for example. It's like saying brits don't have any form of indirect. While they don't in their stock army because the mortar pit is just a gimmick, the landmattress is picked up easily 50%+ of all games because that commander fills all of british flaws.
