This is actually happening now. I have mates that do not want to play USF anymore because at start they have to deal with kubel and later they have to deal with panther. In both cases USF has very hard time dealing with those 2 units.
I wasn't being ironic or sarcastic.
It's the stupid path this game is going.
Relic developers must find to hard to give allied factions proper non-doctrinal infantry and tanks.
Is a pain to struggle always with the worst units in the game until you can call a stupidly OP doctrinal unit in order to win the game.
I'm not talking about balance, because you can still win as soviet or usf. I'm talking about fun.
The game probably is now in its most boring state since launch, at least for soviet players.
We're cornered to use the same 3 units (Maxim, sniper, shocks) and 2 commanders (isu/is2) every single game.
