I agree with the general sentiment that the russians need some help, but lets try to keep this thread concrete and constructive. All the crying about how your conscript spam isn't working isn't going to get us any closer to finding ways for the soviets to compete, and it certainly isn't constructive enough feedback for relic to work with. If you guys want quick change, start making posts that are actually constructive, rather than just raging and posting a "clever"(irrelevant) meme picture about the current state of the game. These forums are almost unreadable in the 1-2 days following a major patch. If I were working for Relic I wouldn't even bother browsing these forums until at least a week later when everyones blood has stopped boiling and are thinking rationally again.
First sensible post in ages in this thread.
I understand there is frustration, some of it due to the fact you have to readapt and play diffrently. Overall I think the changes are good and interesting. A lot of players seem to not use smoke, it is a great way to close the distance and get units in close. You can even use it as a decoy to force the opponent to move or reconsider his strong positions. I still have to relearn how to play some maps, but honestly I think it's more fun to learn than just stick to the old meta that I was thinking got a bit stale anyways.
