PPsh conscripts dominated the meta after they where patched, that mean they have been power creeped. SVT currently is far superior the PPsh for instance.
uhh yes and no... 3x ppsh is pretty terrible as an upgrade in contrast to what all the other factions get on the get go... PPSH conscripts were meta but only against ostheer where the PPSH excels due to oorah + ppsh + hit the dirt + ostheers lack of short ranged firepower besides the panzergrenadier allowed them to circumvent the normally superior LMG42... against OKW PPSH conscripts were and still are completely useless... soo really PPSH conscripts were never really that good to begin with
The suggested value is around 154% increase and given the other changes maxim had it will probably end up being superior to what it was before it was nerfed.
The fact here is that according to the suppression dynamic an mg42 and a vickers will suppress in under 2 seconds while a maxim takes 4...
you have no clue. u have no good reasons to invest muni the first 10min. so u have more then every other factions at this point
because the soviets have no early weapon upgrades right? isnt that half the reason why the faction has abysmal performance in the first 20 minutes? no weapon upgrades and near total reliance on the T-70 for combat ability?
thank you ullu... youve identified exactly why and how the soviets need a buff...
Honestly I wonder if going in the opposite direction might be better/easier than trying to fix the unfixable Deathloop. Introducting the deathloop to the Vickers and MG34/42 and 50 cal, and increasing their survivability to compensate (i.e, making them all fivemen). I suppose you can't really introduce a deathloop to these guns for the same reason you can't take it away from the Maxim or DShK though.
i dont think its possible tbh... although the 50 cal suffers from a less severe version of the deathloop due to faster animation...
I belive it was proven that squad formation is related to this bug, it might not be completly fixable, but chances of it happening can be lowered quite significantly.
it really isnt... however what can be changed is to treat any machinegun with the deathloop as 1 man smaller... i think the maxim should be 5 man then given the full MG42 treatment...
This isn't even mentioning that if you're playing against OKW as Soviet you won't be facing MGs early game, whereas if they face you they very well could be.
id be happy to see a soviet player use maxims in its current state... it means hes sinking 260mp on a useless unit that cannot stop 2 volksgrenadiers...
