- Shermans were essentially one of the most exported tanks via lend-lease. The only other real mid/late game tank option is the British/Canadian Valentine Mk. IX which is also an infantry support tank. My intention was to make it perform similarly to the T34/85, but with more utility because it has smoke.
You do bring up a very valid point on unit overlap. The Soviet units are very defined except the conscript. I will have to do more research and find a unit that fits a role that no other tanks do.
- Only 1 Shock Troops: I believe that Soviet play should not hinge on a singular decision: do I want Guards or Shock troops? These proposed docs are an attempt (good or bad) to shift CoH2's train of thought into a more diverse gameplay. In the same vein, the argument whether PPSh should be available to all commanders, I believe it shouldn't happen, because that leads to less variety. Not having PPSh shouldn't make the commander unusable, but the commander should have benefits in other areas (having other utilities) such that it is equivalent, but different, from PPSh's advantages.
Maybe a new infantry unit would give some diversity to gameplay?(please not Partisans)
My observation was based purely on my tactics,as they are based around Shock Troops,they are the only Soviet infantry that are able to tackle well against LMG Grenadiers,Assault Grenadiers and Panzer Grenadiers...tried with Penal Battalions and Guards,but failed at anti-infantry role
This is purely my opinion so please don't say use T70 or T34 as anti-infantry because as soon as you get those out the Ostheer player already has or will have a minute later a Panzer 4 to counter you
...the thing is a monster against infantry and very decent against heavier tanks
