I think its a bit too late since the thread derail into something else, but i have the same feeling.

Winning as soviets feels more rewarding than winning as Ost. In fact, i sometimes feel bad for my opponents : /

Improving micro/multitasking is something which is either natural or comes with lot of practice. Thxfully this isn´t a game which relies purely on APM (actions per minute). It helps but it isnt the most important thing.

Knowing the "flow" of the game, seeing what units and where they are for you to take advantage of is equally important.


1- Knowing the game. What abilities n units are good for and what/how they should be use against. WHEN they can arrive is also important.
2- Plan and specially adapt. No battleplan survives contact with the enemy.
3- Execution (micro).
4- Pray to the RNG gods, for shall they dictate the course of the battle.
5- Check what others people do, see through other´s perspective if something is giving you a problem.

I don´t know what awesome micro some people here are talking about that you needed pre patch with germans.

Dodging Rnades <<<< Dodging Molotovs/Nades
Before patch they were just cost effective when you knew squads were bunch up together. Since theres no need nowadays for 120muni for FHT, LMG, Rnades are more predominant early game. With lolotovs even if you were hit (unless awesome crits or stupid IA trying to seek cover) you could just move out and be mostly unharmed.

Shocktroops to germans were what PG were to Soviets. PPSH run n gun is the CQC version of the G43 gren spam.

Sniper micro was the same for both (if they fixed the bugs regarding stunning and automatic shooting). German sniper was a mp bleeding while soviet sniper was forcing retreat. Sniper was the main reason you would get T1 (Penals not being worth the price n Scoutcar being the most gimmick thing) and this forced your tech meaning that a German player could easily take advantage of it.

MG vs maxim: i think we know which require more attention.

Tanks: we really need to discuss this ?


If nothing, the prior patch was more balance that what we have here and that was reflected on what i would see on the automatch on 1v1 and 2v2.
I regret not being able to see how the game would had evolved with this 3 things:
-increased health + armor + mp cost n reduce fuel on the AC
-no clowncar sniper
-no clowncar sniper (maybe the sniper change we have now plus a Penal price reduction)

Instead of a 50/50 situation i prefer to screen with something else, and have the M3 guards peak some shots. Their burst damage is higher.

What i´m trying to say is that the effort you need to put into the 222 isn´t comparable to the M3.
The resources/effort you need to destinate into each one to achieve comparable amount of damage or utility isn´t equal.
If you go with an M3 you have all the tools to deal with it either on T1 (faust or small arm fire) or T2.
If you go with a 221/222 you either get lucky with some mines or you force your opponent into teching AT nades, getting a doctrine with Guards or making a Zis Gun. Any situation is a win-win.

If you ask me, i would go for (not all) some of this changes:

-MP reduction/fuel increase. Some balance between 150-200MP/5-10
-Reduce size/increase armor. Just a small buff against small arm fires.
-Give it some upgrades (i want my ambulance M3, a man can dream).

M3 = Zergling

222 = Blink stalker
