the problem with that is the rakatencheese... cloaking rakatens that can ambush kill advance on their own coupled with 2-3 obersoldaten is simply unstoppable as SOV... and katyushaing rakatens actually makes the problem worse as it creates lots of yellow cover for the rakatens to cloak in the lategame...

maxims are completely useless vs obersoldaten (they can frontally deathloop them)... cons ppsh gets slaughtered by obers... only shocks and guards can solve the problem and theyre both doctrinal... and when a faction requires doctrines to counter nondoctrinal cheese you know theres a problem

Thats not how raketen stealth works. Which proves you've never played them, go play all factions and that will teach you where you are weak, as soviet players will crush you when you play OKW, having never played it before obviously.

And I'll reiterate, if you're not going doctrinal, you counter OKW with VEHICLES. The aa halftrack is amazing at supression, SU-76 destroys blobs as well as katushya.

If he is raketening your katushya, then you're doing something wrong, there is also AI loiters in a bunch of the doctrines. It seems like you want OKW to have nothing, as they don't have vehicles that are good at AI late game, compared to soviets.

AI infantry, is OKW's game. If not, use the abundance of doctrines available to counter them.

Also, I main soviets, although I play the other 4 also. OKW is what I play most for Axis, they're definitely not op. They lack lots of tools which are quite easily exploited. The loss of certain units can spell GG for them very early.

Also, t-70 is your friend mid game.

Late game, Soviet Armour is superior (if used well) and covers all roles nicely. THere is no strat soviets cant counter.

If you want allied deathblobs, look no further than Riflemen and Infantry Sections, you can blob your little heart out and win!

Again, Soviets ONLY REQUIRE DOCTRINES TO COUNTER OKW INF, IF YOU WANT TO DO IT WITH INF, Otherwise your go to is vehicles.

USF is amazing to play as, very oppressive early game, transitioning through to mid and late well, with lots of options.

One note, pathfinders should probably have to buy their guns like jaegers, its very strong early game.

How do I beat this?

Not really worse. Instead of killing 2 models and doing nothing to the other 2-4, the damage is now spread out and will put the entire squad on low health. It'll probably kill the 1-2 models that trigger the trap. The low health squad will be easy to push off afterwards.

Ah cool, Thanks for clarifying, I don't really understand how the stats work yet, so really helpful.

Cheers mate.

I agree; it's a red herring that derails things.

For what it's worth, I don't think conscripts need to be cheaper, but I do think they need to be worth their cost. IMO, a ppsh-excluding weapon upgrade unlocked by tier3/4 is a nice call and I'd support it.

I'd also support bundling molotov/at-nade together for a slight price reduction overall, or just making the second upgrade come at a discount.

Negates PPsh doctrines.

Give them SVT upgrades.

Or give them SVT tied with vet, ie at vet3 they also get 3 svt's (tone down RA bonus if implemented?)
