gee wizz, I wonder if they're going to get a MG transition into Flamehalftrack with a possibility of ACs, then try to advance to T3 and spam P4s all day. That's like the story of my life.

This happens almost every time in 3v3 or 4v4 and when there are 3 or more upgunned scout cars and a couple FHT conscript at nades and guards have no chance. And the snipers/mortars and clown cars you are forced to use to uproot the mg's just get run off the map. By the time you get some map control and enough time to get a tank out the German production line is churning them out as fast as they can build them espec if they have one player building supply trucks. I'm by no means a great player but yesterday I played several 3v3 or 4v4 as soviets and lost them all I played one as germans in frustration we held the fuel points easily as above one guy stuck some opels out and I didn't even care about tanks getting killed they were on constant build. Also the blitzkrieg vet 1 ability rapes a single su85 even if you have to chase it down, espec if you have smokes to shake off any guards only way Su is op is if you charge it head on without speed or smoke.

And yes its around an 80/20 split every time I play no need to be an ass and get all defensive may different for you but I see it on streams too and there are lots of posts about it so I'm pretty sure I'm not making it up. Put it this way have you ever seen a 80/20 split with soviets as 80% more than once or twice if ever or heard ppl complaining about the soviet que taking 30mins to find a game because there are no German players? probably not I know I haven't. Also I'm not interested in only playing soviets and I agree it is cool to play as the elite Germans and there units are pretty badass but you should be able to play both sides and not be disadvantaged balance wise.

Hi guys long time reader first time poster here! In fact the hmg is the only reason I am making an account. As we know its ridiculous I would go on as I literally just lost 3 games in a row because of it but hey.

1.

Instant suppression before you can even see its there so not even like your running into it, infact the arc is so wide your like 'there is no way this way will be blocked' o wait it was, by a machine gun facing almost 90 degrees to my line of movement. O wait it also suppressed my backup squad that is 180 degrees around from my other one at the same time.

Cant attack or move when pinned basically no choice but to retreat which destroys your early game control.

MG + the right building = insta op unit no micro required even wider arc basically 360 in some cases.

Soviets have no counter without building a new building for snipers/clown cars which both now get raped by the 222.

2.

Flanking as noted.

Make them so they have to be positioned in a building like on open ground not just fire all directions no micro needed.

Decrease sight/ range so you can actually see them before you are insta pinned or reduce suppression so you at least have a chance to get away. An mg should control part of the map and punish you for going that way, not insta retreat everything before you can even know its there.

Make it so it cant as easily just pin 3 separate squads attacking it like it has to aim at each one or something.

3. Agree with others the whole soviets get more units at start/play aggressive just doesn't work when there all running back to base.

Also the new map with the island in the center and the bridges, my god an mg on each one makes it pretty much gg at the moment. By the time you can counter them the German player already owns most the map.
