Don't get mortars get snipers. 2 snipers melt maximums and there's nothing they can do because sniper camo+ out ranged. And if they want to attack your snipers they Maximus have to pack up and move into your army, getting shot at by your grens. It's easy to wipe them too when riffle grenades come, killing 3 models and then 2 snipes will guarantee a dead maxim. Don't trust rng from mortars get something that works 100 percent of the time.

Best post in the thread. You can't deny luvnest's sniper wasn't doing a number on the maxims, forcing them to retreat a few times, what does the soviet have to take them out with no tier 2? He only lost it late game because he didn't retreat out of an incendiary arty for like 5 seconds.
2 snipers back by grens with rifle nade would melt those maxims and your likely end up with some stolen.
Normal mortars take a bit too long to deal damage unless you spam em. MHT is more useful, and possibly also consider the doctrine with smoke pots at only 4 CP.
