Firstly, I have a bachelor of science, majoring in analytical chemistry and organic chemistry. I also have 4 statistic minors . I work in a research laboratory, studying chirality. I'm also currently undertaking my masters.

I can assume by you trying to act of superior intellect whilst also being a soviet main, that you have a liberal arts degree and possibly coloured hair and a boyfriend.

Secondly, I have 200 more games as soviets, than any other faction.

Third, you may insinuate all you like about my skill, but I have previously challenged you to a 1v1 and you ignored it.

hmm well im gonna be busy in the next few days soo i really cant conduct further testing... try using these parameters

JLI vs paths
JLI vs penals
paths vs penals
JLI vs conscripts
paths vs conscripts
2 conscript sandbag lengths (20m)
1 conscript sandbag lengths (10m)

make around 3x sandbags for each side to accomodate the squad sizes without having a man uncovered

measure crit kill time to kill and surviving infantry... that ways you have testdata aswell and not just me...

How come, JLI haven't been used or considered OP before the patch? They were the same except the sniper model was worse against cover and xp requirements were ~33% higher.

Honestly, I think you're just bad and unable to adapt.

Stg volks also crush penal close range. What does it prove?

Small introduction, penals are overperforming: relative cheap + strong middle and close combat strength + too good abilities. They also have no weak spot over the hole game [EDIT: beside Panzerwerfer in T4], because they work perfect as defensive unit for all verhicles and snipers with PTRS. They are a no-brainer for most situations.

It is complete fine that they perform good with specializations and upgrade. But the current version doesn't fit that role. Especially in larger team-games with the blob-phenomen counters are late commander-abilitys or late-game verhicles, which also have their acceptable counters.

My Suggestion:

1. Giving them same weapon-profile as Volksgrenadiers with blueprint of Mosin Nagant. -> options for DPS modifications:
- PTRS-upgrade for AT + adhesive bomb. (current version, no change)
- SVT-40-upgrade for AI (2*SVT-40 perform like G43 of Grens, blueprint for current penal-gun)

2. Increase the price of explosive charge to 60mun.
(still cheap for the performance. But now more difficult to use multible ones to destroy OKW-base that easy or countering multible vehicles, while AT-grenade would be the cheaper alternative)

To compensate the changings buff Conscripts:

some ideas, like removing the tech-costs:

- Put the RPG-43-ability (AT-grenade) behinde T2, making it a passive upgrade. (like Faust)
- Put Molotov behind T1, making it a passive upgrade too.
- DP-28-upgrade with T4

By the removing of the old upgrade-system there will be enough resources for Building T1 and T2 to unlock.



Overall, that would make Penals-blobbs less attractive, while making Conscript better.

Beating a dead horse.

There won't be a SU rework, they have already gone through one, there are other factions and units who need it more.
T1 went through a complete overhaul and people had plenty time to give feedback about it. If they were vocal enough, it would had been cancelled like the other community patch.

Soviet is "balanced" around 1v1. In other modes, you can depend on your ally to provide map control early on, something you sacrifice when making your CE build T1 and then wait for Penal to be built.

If they are not strong enough to be worth to be built, then you might as well skip making T1.
Right now the issue is Conscript/Penal/Volks. If you adjust one, you have to touch the 3 at the same time.


I'm gonna throw a curveball, for an hypothetical world on which we have infinite resources to test and implement things. Balance them around been 5 models instead of 6.

Same cost as now. Therefore adjust RA, DPS, reinforce cost, etc to keep similar performance.

I would rather have the 221 redesigned as counter to cars and snipers with something like less 75% DPS but more penetration and HP to 320.

Price should probably be around 180-200 with 5-10 fuel cost since one should be able to trade it for killing a sniper.

As for the 223 in the current price is far less cost efficient that 222 and far less cost efficient than the opel. It should simply be a separate vehicle or weaker and cheaper to upgrade.
Or the opel mechanism could be replaced with a timed version of the "siphon" mechanism allowing more counter play.

The 221 could easily fill the role of a counter to cars and then 222 could become more expensive and tougher serving a soft counter to light tanks.

(Remember when you argued that making the 221 available to ostheer would be problematic because all upgrade cost mu and not fuel/manpower? Seem that this rule no longer applies).
