Yeah, they shouldn't be moved up a CP, just given lower armour and give their current armour as a vet bonus.

Also, can I add that infantry play is so much fun I don't even feel like I want to move past tier 2.

At least. Test it first.

I will, but the huge manpower decrease to Penals and the huge nerf to grenadiers is a massive change on paper and worthy of comment.

It needed to be done. With T70s and SU-76s so far off it would destroy any T1 soviet play. It's also not needed as much since shocks now have much lower armor.

Good point, still a shame to see the ability be relegated to uselessness though.

If i bother to play germans, nothing bothers me more than soviet snipers. In the game files, there is a stormtrooper/ jaegar light infantry squad that is 5 men, all with G43's (i think) and can be spawned from any ambient buildings. They have 2x decap, no cap, no at, and expensive spawn and reinforce costs. If i EVER encounter a soviet using his snipers and counters me bad, my counter would just be to spawn a squad of these right next to him and the g43's will wreck his snipers. Then a half track would come in and annihalate them, but it would be a fair counter to this cheap tactic of the soviets. Wouldnt this be a nice solution?

It would be cool but Relic will have a CP req set to at least 2, damage done by that time.

Says the guy with ZERO soviet games played XD

Played both during the beta, decided I like the German side more and committed to only play one side in competitive automatch, I took the same strategy in COH1 and it kept me in the top 50 for the first 6 months of the game. I frequently play as soviets in custom matches to try out strats I have problems with to see which German counters work.

That aside, those remain the problems as I see it from a player with a German perspective.

1. Soviets have better mines, they have far more utility. Few would disagree
2. The Stug is useless, particularly when you match it against the SU-85 which is a far greater Tank destroyer for a very modest increase in price. Few would disagree with this analysis.
3. RNG. Tin Cans immobilizing Tiger Tanks with a roll of the dice. Few players would disagree with the RNG issues COH2 has.
4. Squad wipes being worse on the German side are a fact.
5. Tell me a German strategy and I'll tell you a soviet doctrine that will counter it, you simply can't say that from the other perspective because, with the exception of the Assault doctrine, German doctrines don't provide decisive counters to soviet tactics until well into the game e.g. the Elefant, Tiger.
