Let be fair... the only problem Ostheer and Westheer have is the early ptrs with sniper combo destroing the hole ligh-vehicle play. So 221 has the same problem. Side-effect, Soviet T2 is often not needed, better building T3. 221 if fine versus US and Brits, Penal+Snipers are the problem.
To fix this problems (bringing the line-up in order) we should change soviet Tiers after all the changes Soviets got the last years.
T1:
- M3
- Penal
- Zis
(Maybe making the M3 unlooked in T0 after T1 or T2 got build, assault engineers moves into T1 instead. Cons in T0 becomes the base-building-unit instead etc.)
T2:
- Maxim
- Mortar
- Sniper
But, this needs an own debat. It is only an idea.
Edit: Making the 221 better brings more problems than solutions.
T2 would be even more useless without the ZIS AT gun doe..
