Wut? Is this a bait?
KV1 is fine. I killed few Jadgtigers, Elephants and tons of other tanks just by spamming KV1.
KV2 is fine.
B4 is not fine. Lower damage to 240/3shells per barrage.
M42 is lost and forgotten.
T34/76 is weak but it's fine.
KV8 is fine.
Penals are mostly fine.
SU85 is damn fine.
ISU152 is fine.
IS2 is fine.
Mortars are fine (apart from 13pop cap of 120mm).
Kv1 feels like an t34/85 with a lot less firepower and mobility.
kv2 fails in both modes, and has not enough range for static mode, su 76 barrage has more range!
kv8 has the same damage as all other flame weapons but with less armour and less range.
b4 just has a ridiculous spread and broken animations.
m42 doesn't need to be forgotten, what if it becomes something like an static t70 countering early inf and armour, its going to be outgunned in mid and late game anyways, and it could be useful this way.
t34/76 is an xp feed and a waste of fuel and man power it comes late and has no place in the current game, and for 300mp it's not spammable no matter what. also one single good tank is always better than 2 or 3 mediocre tanks, just loock at the map design.
penals are lacking a role or some fixes to the current one.
su 85 isu 152 and is2 are mostly fine but they could be better designed to sinergy the current factions and the state of the game.
soviet mortars are outclassed by all their counterparts.
Soviet faction is "mostly fine"
They have alot of viable options, but the problem is that T1 is completely dead in the 1v1 meta.
Other than that is fine i think.
Disagree regarding a lot of options, now days soviets are restricted to 2 or 3 commanders if they want to be on par to other factions power level. any other commander puts you in a disadvantage. T1 is dead i agree on that, panzerschreck and faust denies any m3, snipers are a downgrade compared to other snipers and penals are in a limbo, T4 is also in a bad shape feeling like the T3 of other factions with units not really shaped for late game. Im tired of the win before late game or you lose, because the inverse situation does not exist and axis early game is not bad at all compared to the situation of soviet late game.
No matter what soviets are the most precarious faction of all. they have a lot of forgotten useless units, the worst vet abilities, they are commander dependent and have the biggest number of useless commanders, they also have the most bugs. they fixed guards after years!
a lot of units pale in comparison of their enemy counterparts in performance, they have 2 crippled tiers, they lack AA and late game armour.
Hey but soviets are the most balanced faction of all, now go and play british because all allies are op.
