Soviet Weapon teams:

Maxim is troll weapon in the hands of someone skilled vs less skilled player. Leaving lesser skilled player feeling utterly overwhelmed and unable to do anything vs this monster OP weapon.

Team games are mix of players with very different skill levels

Everyone is using Maxims, because cons/eng are struggling hard vs OKW start

Soviet weapon crews die just as fast with 6 men when flanked as does 4 men Axis Mg42

Maxim isn't really OP when there 2 equally skilled players

Solution, fix cons/eng vs OKW, leave Soviet weapon crews 6 man as they are and make Maxim more like Mg42 a support weapon, not offensive weapon.

Doesn't really matter what you do with Squads, there will still be cry of Maxim OP if I can take 3 Maxims and suppress some noob that cannot figure how to fight vs HMG without getting pinned

Long range: Same thing, trolling lesser skilled players into rage because they cannot micro well enough to use cover/smoke/terrain/support weapons to fight 2-3 squads of LMG's in green cover.

Tho its possible to fight vs, it requires to much micro and effort to fight vs no effort. Should be looked into

Thanks

edit- by less skilled I mean not very skilled (I cannot fire of smoke mortar round and attack with infantry through the smoke)

You can delete this Mod, was angry idiots farming for war spoils in 2v2 random

I love how it always comes back to 1v1. I specifically said I dont really have an issue with it 1v1, it is in team games 2v2 and up where the problem is compounded. You cant flank them when the opponents use supporting inf (the other player) and they are half co-ordinated. It just feels so cheesy. We face it ALL THE TIME in 2v2 and its a massive struggle to get ahead as axis but change to Allies and spam them with my US team mate supporting with mass rifles and its just so much easier. There is a big problem here and it really does need to be addressed ASAP.

I mean, when you see the same thing 9/10 games then I think that is saying the build is a tad too effective and really needs to be looked at.

I played some 2v2 as well, Yes Maxim spam supported by US is potent. But so is OKW supported by Wehrmacht

I (and other people as far as I can see) spam maxims into shocks (or Snipers if you have reliable teamate) because any other opening with Soviets vs OKW/OKW or OKW/Wehr would be very hard to pull off.

I would probably claim that OKW is to powerful early on for anything but Maxim spam, rather than Maxim being too effective. At risk of causing a wrath on myself

I am not sure if you know how this exploit work, lets say its 30min mark in fairly balanced match, you are reaching popcap. Lets say by this time you have 4 Sherman's e8 and 96popcap. you need about 10s to decrew your 4shermans, another 1s to callin another(your pop is about50-60 now) sherman. Pop every crew back tp vehicle in another 5s. Voila you are at over 100 popcap and nothing stops you doing it again and again.You need cca 20-30s to exploit. How does this "severely weakens" your team?

It doesn't, that's the one where you play vs noobs and don't really need this gimmick to win.

You are reaching pop cap and have spare resources = you are playing noobs, who cannot kill any of your units and you are camping.

When you playing evenly matched teams (with good players), you barely ever get close to pop cap and usually you are thinking very hard where to spend your scarce MP and Fuel.

But yeah, I agree with you conditionally. I can see how it can be balance issue in game with lesser skilled players who aren't very aggressive at all.
It would give advantage to US players

Yup Shocks work fine vs OKW, I don't know for others, but I cannot make penals/guards/conscripts work. In any combination without shocks and maxims
