See the attached replay.

Includes examples of gimped Conscripts, terrible Axis micro that they pretty much get away with time and again, and losing to cheese. I mean, MASSIVE amounts of cheese. PGs, Panthers, Tigers, and a TA that lives only because of the glorious amount of bullsh*t surrounding it.

I was interested in trying out a new strat for use in pub team games; Con, Con, Con, Shock Motor Heavy Tactics, Shock, Engie, T2, ZiS-3, ZiS-3, T3, T-34/76, M5A1 Halftrack, T-34/76. My aim was to use the con repairs and HT to stay in the field, however, I didn't count on facing the four Axis players I did, who were likely on a voice chat program as their strategies all interlocked. I'll include links of some of the post-game stats. Note the ridiculous amount of losses I had--I had the honor of carrying the right half of City 17 as my teammate decided to drop after suiciding a few Penal squads..

This highlights some balance issues including the terrible DPS of Cons, considering their cost being equal to Grenadiers, T-34/76s being terrible "because they have ram", ZiS-3s being of questionable value when facing Axis tanks with far too much health considering their high armor values, and the absolutely ridiculous state of PGs when they now cost a whopping 280 Manpower and are hands down the best infantry in the game. The Tiger Ace also comes to mind, as does the lack of real Soviet "I win" buttons to dislodge Axis huehue bunker Sim Cities. And lastly, the ISU-152 and it's poor AT performance, or, accuracy in general (I use a Concrete Piercing round towards the end of the game that lands smack dab on top of a PG, and only kills two men--what??). In the case of the ISU, however, it was mentioned by PQ that it would be receiving some sort of buff to its AT capabilities next patch.

Enjoy.

I actually played a 4v4 for fun tonight.

I lost two grens and so I just made a wurfer and Panthers.

Then I converted all fuel to stuka bombs.

A stuka bomb and a railway hit an ISU-152/SU-85 combo at the same time.

All in all, it was atrocious. I have a feeling they're losing their pub crowd fast...
