maybe look for zeus? could be greek for a week.

This could work, call it the close combat package?

Although I'd rather the AT rifle so it does have higher DPM vs light vehicles with the Panzerjager squad, but doesn't have any effect on proper armour, which would require Panzerschrecks ugraded.

i would prefer more AT rifles in general because they're effective (but not OP) counters to light vehicles and it would delay schrecks some. it also adds variety. a dedicated AT squad would also be nice but it would be a lot of work.

It's kind of an interesting idea but I don't see it getting used much. I mean, you've already got Sturmpioneers to deal with Allied infantry up close.

the point isn't to make volks close combat squads, it's to make them suck at range so they don't deal with both infantry and tanks at range. kind of like how pgrens get 2 schrecks instead of 1 so that they get really good at AT but shit at AI. in the case of a schreck + mp40 (NOT mp44), volks would have effective AT while still having effective AI but ONLY at close ranges. again, it's not about giving OKW close combat options but instead about making volks less cost effective with schrecks.

why do you compare T-34-85 with Pz4?
T-34-85 must be compared with Easy Eight, Comet and Panther. And it is the worst among them

i don't compare the 34/85 and the IV, i'm saying i don't want the 34/85 made non-doctrinal because people would bitch and it would get nerfed. then soviets would have an ok tank and a shit tank instead of a shit tank and a good tank.

no because i'd rather see the 34/76 buffed and the 34/85 remain more powerful than the IV in order to give USSR variety. the soviets already have enough weak/average units without losing their good ones.

Well, then lets do it in autofire and see how it goes.

and i can tell you right now that it would be obscenely OP. for reference, it would be a slightly less powerful Pak43 that could move.

the simplest thing is to fix the piercing round so that it actually functions.

the problem with the ISU is that, while not as powerful as the elefant for multiple reasons, it's still a very strong vehicle AND it's effective against infantry. for those reasons it's a bad idea to buff the fire rate very much and buffing the accuracy would be really bad (more squad wipes and squad wipes are bad in a game about unit preservation). that makes the ISU tricky to buff as changes have to not make it kill things too much faster or it rapidly becomes OP. making concrete piercing more reliably, and maybe cheaper is a good start and if that's not enough then increasing the pen on the AP round is another good place.

the ISU is a very solid tank on more open maps and supported by an SU-85 or two for spotting it will shut down anything other than a pak43, elefant, or jtiger. it's definitely harder to use than most units though and the commanders have fallen out of meta for a variety of reasons and so the ISU doesn't get much use anymore.
