i think its too cheap to force a retreat, trading 7munition for 30mp or more worth of casualties is way too efficient.

i dont think it really matters to that much for germans, but definitely a nice touch for soviet, esp when both construction of t1/t2 and conscript training happens at the same time, it really speeds up units hitting the field.

the best part of this is, the eliminates the boring super early game while waiting for manpower to trickle in to purchase the 2nd unit or so.

Hell, even I bought AssGrens. But no more. Not doing it.

As a soviet player, i actually like going up against Assault grens. for once, T1 is actually useful against this doctrine. access to m3 for some good mobile, long range firepower, pop in a penal flamer against heavy assault gren spam to dominate or a guards unit to deal with overzealous halftracks and scout cars. for once, i dont need to worry about panzerfausts.

as for new commanders, i think they are extremely badly designed; an obvious case of trying too fucking hard to come out with something new and refreshing but instead the game is becoming too arcadey(tiger baneblades and free vet).

the design is totally off for elite tanks. what tiger aces should have been is that they should be no different from their normal counterparts stat wise, but have unique abilities that improve the tank's efficiency.

for example, camouflage tank, the tiger cannot move in this mode but gains 1st shot bonuses(100% crew shock, extended shooting range, not sight). other round variants such a s HE, experimental tank rounds, incendiary shots, stun shots or something.

instead, what we got is a ww2 baneblade.

same with soviet industry tactics, the key feature of the soviet production was that they were able to replace tank losses with even more tanks, not even sure why allied fucking war machine ability was not included in this commander. instead we get free fuel conversion ability. whoever thought of that should be ashamed, the people that approved it should be fired.

there's just so much more design direction that they could have taken, but they just have to bust it and go with the most arcadey ones.

soviet infantry system is darn confusing.

the infantry system that soviet use, almost similar wehr's in vcoh. cheap troops designed to be replaced later by better infantry squads.

but it is implemented like US infantry system. Global upgrades means they more or less perform as a generalist infantry squad, which then contradict their initial design, while elite infantry call ins supplement infantry AT or increased AI capabilities. this is alot like US riflemen + rangers/airborne. except then US rifles had BARs to deal with german infantry.

so now I cannot replace these guys for better infantry squads because I need their abilities. yet while I retain them, they become massive manpower sinks because of their utter uselessness in combat after using their abilities. for a 240mp unit, this is quite unacceptable.

so what is the front line infantry for soviets then? a gimped conscript squad that cannot dps? or expensive elite infantry call ins?

penals are in a very tricky position, 360mp is too much to shell out for them. would like to see them get either 1.5 armour for 360mp or stay where they are for 280mp.

so a t1 players can infantry spam with penals as dpses.
