Well If M42 AT gun is here to stay it needs ability similar to USF gun (Tungsten ammo) to buff PEN to levels where it can actually deal with mediums instead of becoming worthless after light vehicles phase is over |
|
Why not make Stormtroopers spawn with two rifles and two MP 40, then give them option to buy additional two MP40 or four PGren G43 non-doctrinally? That way they will be different from default Pgrens no matter what |
|
I dont get this whole Stormtroopers butthurt. PanzerGrens are their exact copy with free STGs
Even if Stormtroopers get turned into CQC squad, PanzerGrens will be still there as they are non-doctrinal unit.
So Ost loses absolutely nothing in the end aside of getting their own commandos, whats the issue here?

Problem with KV-2 is that AoE on that thing flat out sucks, its still working on "if it hits directly it wipes entire squad" logic but in reality it's accuracy sucks so it never actually hits those 1-shot-wipes, instead it keeps grazing squads killing 1-2 models (at best) at time with 10 second reload.
If it got changes ISU/Brummar got it would be far better than currently is.
Right now you cant even use it as indirect weapon since it has less range than mortars so it kinda does not fit anywhere. |

The thing with M42 its not "just" useless. It overlaps with ZiS and is inferior to it if you go T2. It also overlaps with PTRS Penals if you go T1 and is inferior to them when they are reinforced by Field HQ
Basically no matter which path you choose in teching you got better unit than M42, there is no real point in buffing it either because it will just overlap with Zis (again).
There might have been time when it was useful - when Penals didnt have PTRS, but now that thing has simply no point
If balance team flat out refuses to give this commander a medium tank than at very least they can replace this awful thing with DShK. Because DShK can do the exact same thing M42 does - countering light vehicles on top of being HMG |

Seriously though - other factions have their worthless/meme abilties pruned and replaced like happened with Raid on Mechanized, instead of useless stuff you gave doctrine elite infantry, why Soviet commanders exception to this? m42 is legit less useful than upgrading Penal squad with PTRS, except PTRS Penals will actually scale while m42 will remain nothing but a drain on your resources past 5 minutes of game |

>Air Resupply Operation
-Vickers HMG replaced by M1 81mm Mortar; same version used by the USF.
Oh lol, this will be the next meta commander forever now... mortars, croc and arty support
You need seriously consider adding mortar to other commander(s) now or this will turn into Special Weapons Regiment v2
Regarding NKVD, whats the point in decreasing squad RA? Also why make these underwhelming abilities Commisar has cost zero munitions? Soviets are a munition hoarding faction, instead of making them zero cost you can turn them into AoE buff and increase their costs by 3 or so times.
Also - completely useless m42 is still there, taking a valuable slot for something useful for Urban Defence, you cant seriously justify "AT" gun that has no scaling into midgame let alone endgame for a faction that already has a great non-doc AT gun available

Stormtrooper initial spawn number need to be reduced to 3, same as infiltration commandos
Having 4 of them spawn from the building is like fighting 5 man commando squad right off the bat, and these guys are superior to commandos in every way now |
|
Ost has 4 man squads which are prone to wipe
Sov has inferior non-doc roster and requires doctrines to function
USF is forced into bad choices in teching
UKF is UKF |
