If you don't go for T-34/85, then you should rely on SU-85s, and along with your Allies (USF, UKF) you should engage them first before they manage to field more tanks, because they will definitely rush you and destroy you with minimal casualties. A thing i have done with my friends many times is a complete armor dive to destroy their tanks and then withdraw. I personally engaged with a few tanks because i was responsible for the Anti-Infantry part, but it worked. My Soviet friend spammed T-34/85s, i, as USF, had 3 Jacksons and 1 Pershing, and our last USF guy had 8 M10s. We engaged 3 Panthers, 2 Panzer IVs and 1 Jagdtiger, and just steamrolled them. We even engaged OKW's HQs and destroyed them. Your infantry should wipe their ATs and force their infantry back, so that your tanks can push forward. Any damaged tank should retreat for repairs while the rest keep pushing the enemy.

Is everyone going to ignore the fact that the guy had 8 M10s? XD

True way to counter Axis AT, throw more tanks at it!

For those of you out there, stop reading at "Not in terms of tournament win/loss ratios, not in terms of vague theorycrafting balance discussions, but in terms of objectively observable facts"

The simple answer is OP doesn't care about the actual game balance but instead small differences between factions. As for the facts, they can be explained in context.

Original post ignores or is ignorant of:

STGs are a thing,

MP40s is comparable to Grease guns, not Tompsons,

PPSH also has SMG profiles, so are Sten guns, and Tompsons are only on two doctrinal elite infantry that hit the field as almost as late as an Ober.

ranting about the 222 armored car is a detraction from the original point and not a valid claim since the 222 is more akin to an M20 and that thing still gets damaged by small arms fire,

All factions pose threats to each other, it takes a good player to pull out the advantages of each, next patch is going to fix a lot of issues.

Complaining about SMGs here (in no relationship to win lost ratios) is as useless as complaining about German armor having superior armor or the Panther having more health than the Pershing.

In conclusion: learn to use your brain more rather than sucking off the teets of someone else's opinion.

Actually, I'm confused too, why is it such an expensive upgrade for 2 guns while you can get 4 Tommies for 90 on other CQC squads?

P.S wouldn't mind if Bar munition cost was 50 and stats toned down accordingly.

Wasn't Incendiary Rounds banned for excessive flaming?

This just seems like a baiting post to flame either the community balance team or the opinions of the common player. AKA not worth anyone's time.

Please, people from all over the world, it is not worth replying to this threat. Move on with your life and keep discussing balance changes

I feel like increasing costs of Volks to 260/26 and increasing sandbags building time by 5 seconds would be enough of a "Nerf"

It isn't necessary to mess with stats that much.
