Last patch broke the game?

Its not about the tanks, its about the infantry. Grenadiers and Pgrens nerf. Conscript buff. Tell me, what are you supposed to do?

Use combined arms and cover.

Actually i win 4 out of 6 in average,

If you win 4 out 6 matches on average, also known as 2 out of 3, you think this means that you always win 2 out of 3 matches? That is not how averages work.

, but this time 6 losses. Are you kidding me?

Loss streaks happen. Even to good players, and especially to bad players.

Wasnt the patch before and this patch in order to not blob your infantry?

Previous patch fixed conscript blobs. Previous patch made G43/LMG42 grenadier blobs even stronger. This patch fixed that.

Wooh conscript blob ftw?

H M G 4 2.

No brainer ppshs are back?

No, ppsh41 upgrades are only good on maps with a lot of close-quarter combat; see later points.

Stronger at medium and high range?

Conscripts lose to grens at long range. Conscripts beat grens at close range. LMG42 gives extra fire power at all ranges. G43 Rifles boost short and midrange DPS.

With upgrade strong at every range?

No. Conscripts lose 50% of their mid-long range DPS when upgraded. The PPSH41s, like other SMGs only do actual damage below 10m; aka short range.

Callins still too strong (because you dont have to buy expensive buildings)?

Both factions have call-ins. Soviets also rely more on doctrinal tanks because they can't build both T3 and T4 and, unlike with the german higher tiers, the soviet tiers don't have good AI/AT combinations available in their T3 and T4 buildings.

If you look at the damage of the Stukas guns, they actually do a lot of damage. If I remember correctly it´s 80 damage on a deflected hit and 120 on a penetrating hit.

I try to use the ability from time to time and I have found that it can wipe stationary AT guns in 1 pass. And not just the infantry, but the gun itself.

Another observation I have made is that it´s AT damage relies heavily on how fast its target is moving. The plane has very poor target tracking so if a vehicle is moving at a medium speed most of its shots will miss. If however it targets a stationary or a slow moving target like an ISU or a engine damaged tank, its damage is quite high and it also seems to cause some random crits like vision blocked or gunner stunned.

I think the ability is best used during tank engagements. The high damage output on hits and the random crits can really swing a battle in your favor. If it doesn't have any tanks to target anymore it can even do some nice damage against targets standing still in cover.

It's not very useful to call it in outside of engagements (as you can do with the IL-2 strafe) as the tracking is poor and vehicle damage can easily repaired.

He thinks it's funny because he is not a very good player and thus can't relate to a better player saying that he thinks Grens are good enough to not have to bother with Pgrens.

Are you also accounting for the small but measurable possiblity that the enemy will shoot it down while it is flying over their base causing it to crash on them?

Or, they shoot it down, and it lands on the soviet forces. You know, since that is the direction the plane is going.

With Prgens the safe distance is 15m. At this point they do double the damage of grens whilst at a safe distance from enemy SMG fire.

I would not use them in front of my grens because then they are too vulnerable to enemy focus-fire. Because they are closer, they also take more damage. If, in a decent engagement, you have them in front of your grens, they will be close to numerous enemy squads and they will thus die quickly.

But, if you use the squad to flank during this engagement, they will only be close to one enemy squad. Even if the enemy then uses focus fire on your Pgrens, they will go down a lot slower because they are only close to 1 enemy squad, rather than all of them.
