ok nothng germans have unless they choose a doctrine with smoke, thats not hard to deduce but again you are a soviet fanboy so i am not suprised. True sight and heavy crush obstacles is only a counter if the Soviet player is a idiot. Fausts have a long set up time and are not a counter to rams, they only can stop ram if you have already fausted. If thats your logic, mines are a counter to ram, so is stuka bombing the t34 first. I am not surprised you have only been rammed once when you are Soviet fanboy, well I mean not suprised that you would say youve only been rammed once, aka using your own statement as an undisputed fact to prove your own point. My god its like Relic built the Soviets for people like you, their cheeseball style of play fits your personality. By you i mean os.j mad hatter katoif. I believe you are the exact same person, at least all seem to get butthurt by blance discussions in a balance discussion forum.

Stopped reading after this, couldnt see anything.

Anyway i think my suggestions is more fitted for a Penals thread in the other forum section. While what i said would make them pretty decent unit i guess it doesnt fall in to the category of being useful/balanced without doctrine like ones discussed in this thread.



Well, if thats a problem for you, just dont pick commanders with such abilities, cant have everything Really, now

moving backwards only counters if you are already far and manage to get a premature rammer on the enemy team. you cant out revrse a t34 at ram speed. Nothing Germans have can stop a t34 from ramming unless its already at low health. Not saying ram is super op but it doesnt require any sort of micro to use get close ram. Only thing that can stop a competent rammer is luck and smoke.

The idea would be that it would come with Vet 1, meaning that you'd have to build some penals and keep them alive. But if you could do that you would have a niche unit that would combine well with either t3 (T34 rams) or t4 (by punishing tanks that pushed deep into your lines looking to snipe your SU-76's with a combo of AT nade/"penal main gun disable").



Button is a doctrinal ability meaning you have to pick a build with guards in it for it to work, and Ram is far from a reliable main gun disable.

As far as the disable gun ability, it would have a ridiculously small range, meaning that you would basically have to be sitting on top of tank IOT to do it, meaning that you would A) have to pull off a really good flank, or B) disable the engine first.

Now, this is also combined with the fact that Penal squads are extremely fragile, meaning if they have any sort of AI capability they are going to get chewed up and you're going to lose them, which you then don't have the ability to instantly replace that ability as it would come at Vet 1, meaning you need to build another 360 (320 with decrease) squad, get them vetted against presumably vet 2/3 Grens/Pgrens, before you could do it again.

I just think it would give penals a bit more of a niche. There would then be a point in combining a penal squad in with your con squads knowing that if you could keep that penal squad alive it's going to pay off later when the powerful Ostheer armour rolls out.

Finally, this would give you an opportunity to nerf the Ram that everyone keeps complaining about slightly, or take away some of the randomness from it, while still maintaining the ability to disable German tanks offensive capabilities.
