soviets on the defensive are extremely vulnerable to artillery strikes because they depend alot on support units and infantry plus su85. therefore, if there's a problem with su-85s and a whole lot of other supporting infantry, panzerwerfers or field artillery are great at softening them up before u rush in with tanks and infantry.
same with ZiS, although they may be a 6man squad, constant artillery fire will ultimately destroy them.
apart from this, relic needs to pull their head out of their asses asap and reassess unit and ability costs. not all elite infantry and AT guns should be priced at 360mp.
except germans only have mortars (T1), howitzers (Doctrine, expensive), mortar HT (doctrine), and nebelwerfers (T4).
the argument is that russians have mortars (T1/2), long range mortars (Doctrine), zis (T1/2, costs ammo), Howitzer (Doctrine, expensive), katyusha (T4) and su-76 (T4, free barrage and direct fire) = more than germans.
course, its more about the effectiveness rather than amount, and the accuracy of russian zis and su-76 is sickeningly good at times. if i get even a splash damage hit from it on a squad, i must retreat because 80% chance the next shell kills them. i've lost 3 squads from only two shells (not even complete barrages) before.
i'm undecided on the cost element for manpower. i'd like to see support related units cost less, but it also makes you have a real choice between "do i get this one or that one?" and if you pick wrong, it makes an impact with your economy.
Edit in bold. thanks for reminding me combatmuffin
