Ok, dude, if your only contribution to the thread is attacking me instead of posting any facts about how conscripts are perfect in your magical world, then you can go to troll elsewhere.

It was you who came here at first being hostile and writing a bunch of bullshit whitout having read and understood the patch notes. Talking about biased and hateful people...

Arguing for balance changes sort of makes sense BEFORE a change is made, not really thereafter, when its been stamped by Relic. Then its sort of been approved by a higher power, with better resources and understanding, if you know what I mean.

Most balance changes are done when developers see the ruckus the community makes after a change (Katyusha recent nerf e.g.). So I think that yes, complaining about a recent change in the official and fan forums is useful and can help to revert stupid nerfs/buffs.

The thing is that Soviets were in a terrible state since WFA was released with so few viable strategies, and everyone (even the very soviet players) complained about the boring metagame the faction had.

Relic's answer has been nerfing conscripts, Guards, T34 and ZiS, and leaving everything else as it was.
I could understand guard's nerf, as button has been always a controversial ability, but Zis, T34 and conscript's nerf are plainly stupid and unnecesary. Nobody in the community asked for such changes. If conscripts are going to be shit, at least let them have a cost proportional to how much they suck. 240 MP for a unit that underperfoms and doesn't scale at all like Grens and Volks is too expensive.

Now soviet faction are even more broken than last month, and no, I don't think the answer to the issue is adapting to it.
The faction is broken as the 80% of their core units and doctrines are plainly useless. And what is worse, is absolutely boring to play with and against them.

Relic should stop their secrecy and tell us in rough lines what future ideas they have for the faction, because pqumsieh's last cast only makes me to lose all hopes in the game.

Not to mention that old button had their counters, like smoke or just focusing fire in the immobile guards. It was not an unbeatable ability.

Great job nerfing ZiS but keeping its stupid camouflage movement.

Please, increase barrage cost too.
60 ammo is too cheap.

Relic chose an interesting direction for infantry small arms balance in this patch.

There is a lot in there they havent usually done, such as a full spectrum range accuracy optimisatiin and afew odd balls like aimtime and adjusting what what constitutes "near/mid/far". Especially in conjunction with LMG changes, I think this laid a good groundwork for future adjusting.

Much of it seems to be built on the premise that long range was too efficient, and short range too risky. So they ended up nerfing long range, whilst increasing mid range pretty much across the board, and also increasing what constitutes short range dor those units who have that as their optimum.

Many of the figures seem a bit arbitrary, but they can be tuned later.

I honestly dont understand what the crying about is in this thread, and tbh I see very few people actually talking about the stats, instead of the usual hyperbole and "feels like" subjective crap.

There is really very little here in this thread that can be discussed or argued objectively, because it is expressed so subjectively without reference to stats or the actual changes.

Too much words to say nothing.

Explain us then why the received accuracy increase was needed in conscripts. Were they overperforming before to deserve such a nerf?

And any ability or upgrade that conscripts have fits with the new role Relic wants them to play.
They all are short range abilities, with the new received accuracy it's suicidal to try to approach to throw a molotov or ATgun.
