when there is almost no telling what they might do in the 1st 4mins of the game and i've already got 3-4x conscripts by then. so i have to read minds in order to not get shit on by this strategy?

Mistakes from that match:

-None of you tech neither T1 or T2. Less flexible.
-You saw a cache and 2 pios. NO T1 units from 1 guys. KINDA OBVIOUS.
-Brolaire lost at 4mins a cons pushing frontally on redcover an mg being supported by 2 mortars.
-At the same time 3 Cons from Glum were forced out by 1 PG vetted. He ate with the whole squads a nade forcing 1 squad to inst retreat. The other squad went 1on1 with the PG while the 3rd squad was move out of combat for some reason. No usage of molotov.
-Glum researched AT nades earlier than 4:35 (i cant go back and see when he started it). If we discount that both floated almost 600mp. Brolair after losing a CON and seeing vet PG pulls out another CON. By this time both of you had 1 CP being able to get Shocks as a quick answer.
-AND the first Shock was not supported and sent alone against 2 vet PGs. PLUS, he tried to do a soft retreating losing shooting time.

I stopped briefly later. Problem is, you tried to stop a blob of PGs with a blob of Cons. There are several easy ways to punish that kind of "strat".
Maxim, mines, sniper, mortar, shocks. With some proper micro you can make PPSH work in a relation 2on1 or landing good molotovs. Choose your drug.
You didnt secured any of the both fuels neither build a cache nor make usage of the early fuel advantage you have from 1 guy vetting 3/4 units. If the other guy didnt sat down with his MGs that game should had end sooner.


Regarding PGs n topic: PG are fines. What is not as fine is rifle damage MAYBE. If you have problems with PG is more of a L2P issue rather than balance.

Regarding vetting troops: it needs a nerf (not so big). Increasing MP, increasing cooldown or negating using it on allies is a good direction in making it more balance.

+1

Battle of the broken units : /

Whose gonna favour the RNG gods?

I from other country, dont cry, you die today by a tiger?

But that´s not an excuse for whinning over some dull soviet build order.
Tell us what did you do in order to counter maxim-con into arty spam (which seems more of a 3v3 or 4v4 scenario, on which you should expect spam of tanks and artyllery).

This is down right hilarious because German players cry that for 5-10 minutes they need to go with a "combined arms" approach in order to have supporting units around to deal with the games most expensive infantry unit. Yet as soon as tanks hit the field soviets have to do the exact same thing but versus tanks that aren't even the most extra expensive one yet then Germans take the l2p approach.

Just to spell it out for you mid/late game:

Soviets: need to have a combination of zis guns, consrcipts, su85s, t34s, and mines to support each other. These need to all be in the same area to support each other. If a panther (or tiger) flanks you you have to retreat out often losing a lot of units because they can't just retreat in god mode like infantry. The German player can do this frontally just by blowing smoke canisters, or using the vin diesel nos button

German: pick doctrine with tiger (luckily everyone gets panthers) --> left click --> right click --> profit

So realistically what's "worse" ... Being forced to play well for tgr first 5 or 10 minutes or the rest of the game? Personally I prefer the challenge later which is why I prefer soviets

If you exploit your advantage early game you wont need to play mid-late game! L2P!!!
:Uses smoke canister and blitz away:

As said before, the easiest solution is putting back Elite Infantry at 2 CP. Nevertheless i think that with some light nerf on Shocks (or a general small buff on rifles weapons) and just putting Guards at 2CP, Shocks could be fine at 1CP.
