today i played a game vs Ost. a game i use Ost using Ost+sniper all i could say is it is too cost effective in early stage. i think they should increase the cost to 160MP (2/3 cost of gren) so it is less spam-able and remove the bunker building and only able to dig trenches and use faust(also make it fire faust slower than gren like use twice of time or have half range of faust ability). half cap speed did halts Ost caping power so usulaly they can't cap the fuel and MU point that fast so it should stay.

1) hmm what if some soviet player want skip T1? then all they left is call in infantry that don't have molotov or AT nade, i do recommend give conscript a upgrade weapon once T3 or T4 building is built (other than the PPSH) to improve its late game effectiveness. maybe a 60MU upgrade to give 4 SVT40 rifle and buff the SVT40 rifle? i don't know

2) what is WSC don't get it. soviet sniper already better in support role than germans i don't want see they deploy to the field faster than right now

3) T3 building cheaper means T34/76 and T70 hits the field faster. not that great of idea.

4) hmm T34 in T4 soviet will have alot armor fighting power in T4, i think it just make T3 useless

5) that will make crown car+flame engineer or Maxim spam more easier, i think german player will got complete shut down in early game

Im honestly tired of trying to make soviet work, and german is too easy and gets old quick. The devs arent listening to the community and I see more and more people complaining that soviets need help, its everywhere on every coh2 forum but still nothing changes. hell the only major change last patch one of our tanks (kv8) got nerfed. I dont think they understand whats going on, and I know fanboys and people who ONLY play german will refute anything anyone says about balance.. (fanboys btw are very bad for the game since it confuses devs) Im not sure I even want to play this game anymore. I see less and less streamers as well. I think im done playing this game for a while.

Also LMG grens and gren spam is a bit ridiculous. and Tigers for only 200 fuel... LOL. 250 manpower and FIFTY fuel just to get AT nades/Molotovs on my shitty ass conscripts when grens have them from the start?

you actually think KV8 is fine prepatch? do you realize it wipe vet 2,3 infantry like eating a snack? now the KV8 nerf only increase the time to wipe infantry squads so it gives german infantry a chance to retreat alive and you think it nerf too much? man i think you are the one don't understand what is going on.

you hate LMG gren spam? go spam maxim it still works and lmg42 already got little nerf should wait for feed back from rest community. also why are you ignore manpower for tiger it cost 720MP! if they change tiger price back to 600MP and 250FU and panther back to 440MP 1650FU, i will gladly accepted it since i don't have fuel problem most my game, only problem i have is MP. AT nades/ molotovs if conscripts get from start, they are just over powered, molotov is best anti weapon team, anti building, anti cover nades and can wipe german weapon team easy, force german infantry out of cover and buildings because other wise they wipe. any other nade can do that? at least i never see rifle nade wipe a Maxim squad. AT nade need research is reasonable because german don't have vehicles in T1, soviet does. german need to go T2 to get vehicles which is same price as soviet AT nade research

4) further questions for the people who think it's balanced right now:
a) what do you do to counter it on a map like Semois or Kharkov which is heavy on buildings? have you had any success on these maps against players who are just as good as you Ostruppen spamming?
b) what is your recommended counter?
c) at the earliest time your recommended counter can hit the field, assuming even map control, how many Ostruppen squads can be on the field?
d) what is the cost of your recommended counter (include the manpower cost of T1 or T2 if you have to build that straight off the bat...) - how many Ostruppen units does it cost?

Semois map is one of the most unbalance map in my eyes as top side fuel point is very easy to defend. Kharkov on the other hand didn't got much play on that map (only 1 game and i wasn't using Ostruppen) so no comment on that
i do had few rounds fight with Ostruppen on Semois, but as usually i won if i spawn top side and lose if i spawn lower side. i am agree that fighting Ostruppen from house to house is pain. from my experiences fighting Ostruppen summer maps i like use FHQ or 120mm commander and anti infantry during winter.

I normally use Maxim (3-4 of them）Spam with 2 flame engineer and 2-3 conscript (build before i saw enemy using Ostruppen) to clear the house advance and back up by AT guns, again i don't need worry about MG42 or mortars when fighting Ostruppen because they don't build those then see how things goes. the Ostruppen player i counter don't feel that good because they don't bring much other infantry out (except officer that really not enough in my eyes) to backup Ostruppen, if they spam trench is actually what i like to see just Molotov and trench is mine

i won't say i am good at Ostruppen spaming. i am still trying to find a way to play it comfortable with Ostruppen. a problem with Ostruppen spaming is to know how much to spam, few games i had over 15 Ostruppen (i think) on the field but it give me the feeling that i am overwhelmingly winning until soviet bring out their 120mm, guards or shocks. even Ostruppen are cheap but i still bleed out MP to hold my army large then got into that part i am low on MP to bring out enough better troops like pgren and tanks with all the fuel and mu. i find hard to bring out panther in late game with this commander and couldn't bring out pgren and p4 fast enough. right now i am usually spam like 10 of them then start having pgrens to hits the field.

i hope this answers the questions
