put guards and pios in the M5 and you have a super clown car destroyed a bunker,a halftrack and pushed the whole army of my opponent of the map.I think almost every soviet player underestimates the M5.
How do you use the m5 ? Is it worth to buy the upgrade ?(tried it once and it did not really kill or supress inf)

The upgunned SC will kill an M5. Maaaaybe not if it has the Quad upgrade although I still feel it will.
The M5 isn't supposed to be used as an impact unit like the T-34 and T-70 from the same tier. It's not supposed to come out and rout the enemy army.
What it is supposed to do is be extremely useful constantly throughout the game. It can reinforce troops and AT guns all over the battlefield, shut down enemy infantry attacks by kiting and suppressing the infantry, shoot down aircraft call ins from your opponent, and it only costs 30 fuel.
It's a great unit but not a game winner by itself.

I tried using m5 as a clowncar but my units seem to do worse than in the m3. I thought that putting two of my conscripts with ppsh would just run over my opponenents infantry. Any reasons why this isnt working so good - Does the m5 have to stand still for my inf to shoot? Does both units shoot? Is it bugged? Why isnt this a viable strat?

Putting two squads of infantry into M5 would be powerful if it came out earlier, I feel . As it stand now M5 plays strictly a support role - Unlike German flamer halftrack.
Has anyone have any replays where clown M5 was used to good extent? I usually just go ahead and upgrade it without second thought.

What is a Super Clown Car going to do that a T34/76 is not going to do cheaper?
Well one thing, it will die a lot easier
I don't get why anyone thinks this is or should be a good idea, please enlighten me
Engineers 240 mp
Guards 360 mp
M5 120 mp / 30 fuel
Total:
720 mp / 30 fuel
If you have that much manpower, maybe build a fuel cache or two and then get a T34

Well that argument is a little bit lopsided, you do not pay that for super clown car. It's not like the half track consumes the units that are inside it
It gives the units more mobility and defense, when M5 takes allot of damege, pop the units out and drive away the M5. Assuming you did not get engine damage and Germans do not have P4 or something to chase and kill it.
Also, as a side note - upgunned scout car can kill upgraded M5 with no problem.

Hmm doesnt M5 have only 6-8 slots to fire from? Same thing with M3 with only 4.
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Well, that's what this tactic costs to employ. Yes you can move units in and out, but without units in it it is a vanilla M5.
It seems a lot to tie up on something that costs more than a T34, will do less damage and is a lot more vulnerable.
That's using up a big chunk of your pop cap as well.
By the time you get this on the field there are gonna be a lot of things out there that can kill it quickly
