Thank you, man. Means a lot to me, Especiqlly considering whqt I have to deal with usually.
You too, Thunderhun.

I want a balanced game too. Im not yourenemy in that sense

sadly sometimes u make some sense, sometimes you don't.

most 2v2s already rely on skipping t1 in favour for maxims and mortars to hold out for t3. conscripts are okish line infantry until rifle nades and LMG pops in, then they are hopelessly outclassed. and no other soviet infantry have the equivalent of that much damage output for the rest of the game, so much so that grenadiers can just A+move into position, rifle nade and LMG any opposition and force a retreat and move in with 0 to little casualties.

there's where i see most of the problem, no soviet infantry is able to close in without taking major casualties and retreat before they can do anything as they will get rifle naded and mowed down by LMG fire into oblivion. shock troops get owned by LMG when closing in, guards+dp28 get owned by rifle nades.

the idea of using commander call ins is already in there, as evidenced by elite infantry call ins that fill up different roles in the soviet army, but like you said, there's still a huge gap in effective infantry AT for soviets. ptrs dont cut it, AT nades dont do much either. and that infantry AT must be on a non doctrinal unit.

I agree that the M3 may slightly struggle but I think this is primarily due to the way people use them. People need to understand that putting a flame thrower unit inside of the car and drive close to the enemy is a huge risk. This risk can and often does pay off, of course but people need to understand that it isn't the right thing to do in every situation.

t1 is where there isnt a real effective solution to garrisoned mg42s. there is no mortars for indirect fire and mostly due to soviet teching style. therefore, m3+flamethrowers are the most effective measure against garrisoned mg42s, molotovs+conscripts are too much of a risk, have no scaling and are deadweights when LMG+rifle nade grens hit the field.

it would be nice if i can use it as a support unit, without the need to turn it into a clown car. but circumstance force me to use it as a shock unit.

su76 is an arty piece, use it like one. it is amazing with its indirect fire.

i would put it that german army is more user friendly than soviet army.

for instance, a clear solid generalist infantrymen that can take on most soviet infantry.

effective armour on tanks due to the fact that soviet most guns have shitty penetration/damage.

tanks armed with powerful guns that have no problems penetrating soviet armour.

lastly, access to non doctrinal heavy tanks that soviet army is inadquately equipped to destroy.

while as for the soviet army, most counters are soft counters and unwieldy, there are few hard counters.

for example, against grenadiers, a combination of maxims and conscripts is a standard counter.

against tanks, fast halftrack, conscripts/guards for disable, while AT guns to take it down.

for heavy tanks, multiple investments into AT guns, su85 with guards/conscripts to disable and keep grenadiers/panzergrens away. put down a couple of mines for good measure to prevent flanks.

see the difference in micro level needed?

yea, but it only takes one panzerfaust to kill off the entire crew in a soviet tank, yet in this game the panzerfaust only damages the engine or bounce of the su85 and the is2.

the IS-2 is more than a match for panthers, yet in the game it has problems dealing with them. historical accuracy must give way to balance. german has more than enough dps with regards to AT, having a disable is worth mroe than another shot
