So many assumptions so little facts. It's really stupid to just assume that all Americans are ignorant about the Eastern front like everyone does especially Russians. Ironically, there are Americans that knows a lot more about it then the Russians that claimed to be superior on the subject. Pretty strange considering American's weren't part of the front apart from Lend Lease, but that's what Soviet propaganda does to people. How did this happen? I would make another thread on that but this isn't a history site.
As for your comment for saying that we should be "grateful" nothing has changed apart from conscripts becoming seemingly useless because people just don't adapt to these changes. Tank combat is still the same, Soviet heavies easily destroy German infantry while German tanks have to get rid of the resilient Soviet heavies in order to achieve victory. The most powerful weapons of the Soviet early game is left unchanged apart from the M3 scout car which is still pretty powerful. Soviet mines still wipe out German infantry, and Soviet mortars still one shot kill German weapon teams and infantry. Soviet shock troopers are still powerful, you just have to use them differently instead of making suicidal charges which worked so well before this patch. They kill infantry a lot faster up close so use them for close quarters combat only.
People complaining that Germans are OP are really just not using the Soviets right. So don't expect us to thank you for playing Soviets, just play the game.
good try comrade obvious )
