And what? Soviets have a very good Medium tank destroyer, but Ostheer dont. And thats not reeason to put an analogue to the su85 (Not including paper-made stug III)

Armored assault is definatley going to suffer. I agree with you there.

I guess maybe I am just so used to Elite forces and SI that the bar for OP is very high to me (LOL 100 POP CAP WORTH OF AT TO STAND A CHANCE AGAINST THE ACE!!!!!)

But there will be times I will prefer Guards Motor over this. Not knowing how good the new PPSH will be in practice. If the new PPSH means that 2x Pgrens will not kill PPSH scripts faster than a pack of T70s would a Gren squad then maybe your right.

I dont think giving another PPSH was a good idea myself. But it was really annoying losing all your Scripts to the blob of Pgrens in a micro second.

Playing with it right now makes the Soviets feel like the Ostheer. I can have decent AI, A decent Medium Tank, and build my T2 to have flexibility of MGs, Mortors and AT guns and SU85s can be useful since you can field them with a decent medium tank.

This to me feels like the Soviets should have been since release. It makes them well rounded.

I guess time will tell. At least its not a T34/85 ACE!!!

Technically every single player can afford a ZiS 60 seconds into the game, that being the time it takes to build T2, and can own one (I think) a minute after that

It's not uncommon for players to build a Zis before 8 minutes to deal with a halftrack if I'm not wrong- I do that on occasion as well.

This is actually the reason a skilled Russian player can beat a Tiger 1on1 with an IS-2.

Higher front loaded damage + long reload times allows you to use Hit+Disengage tactics. This is something anyone who has played World of Tanks will have instinctively learned.

Well the problem with that is the IS-2 already has maximum penetration, the Tiger and Panther just have heavy armour.

And before you say anything, the IS-2 had heavier armour and higher gun damage than the Tiger and Panther do. In a 1v1 frontal slug-fest, it's up to the RNG God's to decide the winner.
