And Zis gun needs barrage? have you ever played 2vs2 the last months? Almost every Conscript spammer builds 1 Zis gun to counter every German HMG. No need for mortars. I don't get the point why an anti TANK gun needs to act as an indirect firing option while there is a mortar team buildable. This is just beeing abused a lot.
Soviets are not one of the weakest factions. I'm sorry to disappoint you. They are the most played allied faction and have pretty good winrates.
+1 completely agree here.
- At least some Vet0 abilities definitely need to be moved to vet1. Its just not plausible why the zis gun get a very strong ability at vet0 but the pak40 can use stun shots only at vet1 and raketen also get camo at vet1. Same for UK pak...
- Another example for the vet0/vet1 discrepancy:
SU85 and JP4 have more or less the same price. SU-85 can use the spot ability at vet0, the JP4 needs vet1 to get camo. The Jackson also needs Vet 1 for his special ability...and so on.
Honestly, I dont know why people try to defend this discrepancy. If Pak40s could immediately stun allied tanks everybody would rightfully complain.
"The focus of this patch is: Core Armies, Meta Problems"
Moving strong abilities to vet1 would help a lot to achieve this goal.
