Technically speaking USF doesn't have one either. Their closest unit is the WC-51 Dodge Truck. It's just how the game panned out.

And it calls a ridiculously devastating artillery so much so that it actually damages tank engines if hit. I tested it in cheat mod. It's expensive but worth it

Hi. My question is the title i.e. Why don't soviets have any command tank in the game? Especially when every other faction gets one atleast in some kind of way. Can we have some sort of command tank for Soviets? I mean all other factions have it with different abilities. Would be nice if soviets get something unique.


(i know about kv8 infantry speed buff)

Its not a balance thread. Just discussion

Remember what I've said about you. Ever since u arrived on this forum, you've done nothing but promote Soviets and complain about the nearly non-existant number of underpowered units for SU.

Did you know that even Katitof thinks the ISU is too good. I don't think that 50 range is an appropriate change, but the vast majority of players including allied mains agree ISU is a bit too good. The patch however can only fix so many units at a time. The more pressing OP unit is IS2 which has finally been nerfed. I imagine, you probably thought the IS2 was perfectly fine as well? And what about the current 7 man conscripts? Are they balanced right now? I'd like to hear your opinions.

You know what? Every thread I arrive on i see none other but you always whining about soviet OP allies OP wehr UP to the point it has become annoying. You made a separate thread just to whine about how the USF got a discount in grenades unlock. I mean such minor things trigger you which makes me realize how little threshold you have. Not only that you also become rude against others in your thread Original posts including the balance team who have been doing work for you and us for free.
Yet you're like su 76 need no buff. Cons OP. ISU OP and yada yada yada.

Conscripts have been nerfed in the patch preview so i am not gonna say anything on it.

And about ISU i think it's in a good place right now. Because guess what? Soviets need to devise a strategy too to penetrate the axis Frontline laced with Paks and big paks, mines, raketens to reach the heavy TD of axis. So it is the same on both sides. And oh did i mention shreck blobs? Since we are talking about team games I'm sure if a team has issue dealing with an isu then it's their incompetency for wrong commander selection. Axis have skill planes. Jadpanzers. Retreating raketens. Blitzing panthers and so and so on to counter ISU. Don't make me believe like it's an impossible task which isn't.

Add in round switching delay and no attack on move of isu, slow speed, 22 pop cap. I see no reason why this unit should not excel at its role and cannot be countered.

If is2 has been nerfed then what's the problem? Why go off topic?

The airborne weapon drops are great. It's very cost efficient all over the map weapon racks.
The whole consensus of the svt cons being OP is something I don't wanna get to.

The thing is PPSH for penals doesn't work. Sure they shred infantry. Not even axis cqc's can stand up to them but it's a huge sacrifice for their svt's which are strong at all ranges. also since they have no nades it kinda make's the shock penals kinda not as useful. Also AB guards in the commander get them for free and they have nades and smoke.

Also AB guards can't really use these drops either.

So here is an idea for the change.
1. Increase the cost to 60 muni(i would want to make cons get 5 svt's but everyone thinks they are OP)
2. Give penals a dp28 with these upgrade with button ability
3. Give AB guards 3x PTR's wit at volley ability

1. IMO 60 is too much
2. U do realize giving penals button will allow other penals to satchel the tank? This exists in regular guards play but we have AT strafe in this commander. It will be too OP. Like stop the tank from afar and wham rockets from akr and tank gone.
3. If we give ptrs to abguards what will be the difference left between regular guards and air guards?

The Isu-152 being able to fire high explosive shells to out to the same range as it's armor piercing shells(70) is a relic from earlier iterations of the game where the ele was non doc from wehr and the jt could pierce world objects. Thankfully both of those are gone but the Isu one shotting vetted rakettens and high vet squads from the fog of war remains and it is by far the most cancerous thing in team games 2v2 & up.

There have been so many positive changes to prevent cheesy units wiping squads and deleting veterancy over the years but this one slips through the cracks every patch cycle somehow. It forces one player on your team to always pick breakthrough doc or ele and its tiresome to pick a doctrine to potentially counter one unit while the isu counters your entire army and promotes stale and cheesy game play where the sov player will eventually amass a isu and 2 su85s with focus sight so spot for it with there 75 sight range(which in itself is absurd) and shocks/guards 7 man cons to screen and then just creep forward deleting every squad/team weapon or tank in front of it.

The only comparable unit, the brumbar fires a slow projectile that will miss squads at long range unless you anticipate there movement with attack ground which creates a large micro tax to get the most out of it while the ISU's projectile travels the same speed as a regular tank shell so it can hit moving squads at 70 range and requires 0 input or micro to wipe out infantry.

The brum also got some heavy nerfs recently to both armor(260/320 at vet 2 to 240/288 at vet 2) & range(40 to 35) because it could take out at guns frontally wile the isu can do the same from a range the at guns cant even return fire and your counters are ineffective, stugs and jp4s will penetrate 52% of the time since it also has 340 armor which forces you into the extremely expensive panther which is a terrible design choice to force players to spend 185 fuel to hope to penetrate a tank(64% chance even then) while the 3 allied factions spend between 130-145 to hard counter tigers & brums from well out of return fire range

I propose a reduction in the range to at least 50 for the HE rounds so that it at least has to come into range of its one non doc counter, the panther to wipe infantry and at guns or to make it a timed ability or a barrage ability like the JT to promote some counter play.

Don't fix something which isn't broken. Also stop comparing isu with brumbar. What do soviets have to counter axis long range heavy assault guns like ele and JT? Be reasonable. You can easily kill isu by swarming just like ele is killed when rushed by multiple tanks.

This argument that you have to make panthers to counter isu is so stupid because this is exactly the purpose of this game. You make mg for infantry. Tanks for infantry and AT guns for tanks. You have to make units which counter other units because every unit has a weakness. You have to find it.
