Putting them in the HQ behind first deployed truck could be an option to explore with lmg locked as it is now. Would give them some more time to shine with their K98s while the enemy is not fully decked out yet with lmgs. |
I think it says it all when at a similar timing, ostwind might be broken but hetzer should be ok.
No it doesn't. Ostwinds can deal with allied LVs while a hetzer has no AT at all. |
If you removed the vet bonus and cover bonus I could see the 7 man upgrade at tier 3.
If you are going that route it has no business being later unlocked than T1/T2. |
To for me the maxim is bad. It's to do with the cost (it's not worth 260mp), but more importantly the tech requirement.
In 1v1 if you try something like con-con-maxim or 3x con into maxim you just lose too much ground because of the 160mp cost and buildtime of T2 keeping your engies in base, and you will get rolled by LVs because you also need AT nades and a Zis3 to deal with 222s/flame HT/ P2. You have to skip medics if you want to put it into your build early on, and then you will suffer from the axis weapon upgrades. |
Is you argument that Soviet are in disadvantage because they do not have HE grenades and thus it more difficult for them to get early wipes?
Soviet core infantry have trouble getting wipes no matter how long the game goes on because they don't have HE nades. |
The availability of molotovs and satchels hold about as much weight in this discussion as saying that the pak40 can attack-ground as a form of barrage. |
Different topic, but worth its own thread, I like the idea. Perhaps obers could be trained at hq after the first truck was deployed, while lmg is still locked behind panzer authorization. The cost of the schwerer would be split up at for example 90/30 instead of the current 60/60, allowing hetzer, ostwind and perhaps jp to be built earlier.
I like the idea of Obers earlier. I would even think to put the LMG earlier behind just the Schwerer. The earlier Ostwinds though might be game breaking. |
PLS stop making making powerful units available early. Instead delay the ones that already come early.
So... Pgrens back to T2? |
Grenades are completely irrelevant to the Zis barrage ability even more so with CD of the barrage.
Easy to say when your favorite factions have nuke grenades as part of their core army while the Soviets do not even have any grenades available to them in half their doctrines. |

Those tech changes feel like a big FU for soviets. Total 200MP to unlock medics, AT nades, indirect fire, weapon upgrades, machine guns, AT gun, fire grenades.
Like bruh how are soviets supposed to play against that. And in the same suggestion list the T70 is nerfed lol. |
