Maybe strum pio's assault rifle profile is not correct. To me, I see strum pio's range is long and medium and short though my infantry squad is in green cover.
Sturm pios are same as pgrens and pgrens are more effective then conscripts at long range.
Don't worry, it was pretty balanced during the alpha. It took a 1 min and 20 sec to build back then and I know they nerfed it somehow. But a strat idea is to produce those guys in late game with a captain supervising that building so that way the long timer doesnt exist.
They didn't nerfed it, they have changed it to call-in.
Its so funny how these soviet pros think they are so good. Soviets have fk all micro to perform compared to oh. And yes I have played sovs and its emabressingly easy to play
You know what is really funny?
You thinking that you are good and 100% of your problems are balance issue.
