1. a zis, AT nade and a mine typically will force a panther to limp away. the panther may be able to kill the zis if it gets close and shoots long enough, but the zis will do some serious damage if you damage its engine soon enough. the way i see it, that already is a cheap way to defend against a much more expensive t4 tank.

2. tank blob effectiveness varies greatly depending on the situation.

3. dont forget to turn off the focus sight ability and its barely slower than before. i see a lot of players forgetting about this and it makes them easy to circle. it already has the same range as an AT gun, unless youre talking about sight, in which case it still doesnt need a buff.

4. pgrens only have an AT upgrade, unless you include g43s. taking both upgrades makes them the most expensive squad in the game and is generally a bad idea.

5. i dont think the grens need it, especially as long as AT nades and fausts never miss.

6. just hop out of the m3 before it blows up and you take 0 damage.

7. theyre reworking veterancy currently.

8. i dont think any of these need to get more effective. by the late game they are already spammable

9. snipers already outrange mgs, so it would make no difference against an mg. this buff would just make sniper cars/snipers even harder to chase down.

10. no comment.

11. mortars are op so buff their accuracy? setup time is typically irrelavent for mortars.

12. pretty unimportant change

13. unlikely as this is already a doctrinal ability

14. repeat of #9

15. this would make every soviet inf squad be able to chase off vehicles. thats what you have guards and conscripts for.

16. not sure why they need this. soviets already get overdrive at vet 1.

17. dont see this happening right after they just added the 45mm.

18. now this i agree with. germans need to be able to plant mines in the early game. currently theyre too reliant on munitions. lmgs, schrecks, flame ht, upgun scout car, and mgs on tanks are all expensive. germans already have to make choices on what to upgrade, planting just 1 mine limits the choices even further. reduce the damage and the cost on the teller. make the AI mines able to be planted 1 at a time.

19. the damage on the flamer damage isnt really the issue. most of its kills are becuase of crits and flame crits function the same for all weapons. i guess one way to make it crit less is have the burst duration shortened or reload/cooldown duration increased.

i wouldnt say camping makes you almost always lose the game, but its not unbeatable either. defending certainly has its advantages. you can have multiple weapon teams already positioned and your infantry in cover. moving units are also less accurate, so the attackers are much less effective.

i think of this as kind of like rock paper scissors though. defending usually beats attacking, indirect fire beats defending, and attacking beats indirect fire. they all have their own strategy they are strong and weak against.

if you know your opponent is camping and you dont think youll win the fight, dont charge in. build some indirect fire and wait for him to take some losses or move.

However when you say I just ask for a flat-out buff to all soviets that simply is not true, especially if you consider I accepted suggestions for increasing the price as part of the upgrade change and even encouraged others to think of ways to make sure this stays balanced. Disagree with me, that`s fine but do not put words in my mouth. I never asked for a buff of any kind.

im not putting words in your mouth. you might be saying you dont want a buff, but thats contradictory to the rest of what youve written.

you want to make a doctrinal upgrade non doctrinal. that will make conscripts do more damage in all of the non ppsh doctrines. higher dps, especially on the move, is not a neutral change, that is a buff. also, i dont really think a cost increase makes it less of a buff. if panzer tactician became non doctrinal (even if the cost was increased) would that not be a buff for the germans?

i know what hes talking about. it happens frequently with scout planes, but only if its on the very edge of its sight. it happens when you only have vision for a split second. try aiming the recon plane a bit better so it keeps sight on your target longer.

i think it might be an input lag issue. when you click you have vision, when the command goes through you dont.

Anybody tried the new bulletin "10% more experience gained" for the MG42? It´s awesome! The MG42 just shoots so much anyway that the received vet bulletin has an insane effect on MGs and so I had two vet 3 MGs in the last game. Within the 5 minute mark both were vet 1 and I could spam the incendiary ammunition.

However I totally lost track what bulletin is the best. There´s just so much like "more fire", "less cooldown time between shots", "slower reload time", "better accuracy". I don´t know what´s best. - However the vet buff is significant on the 42. Try it!

try 10% reload if you like putting mgs in buildings
