So I should assign control numbers to every group of infantry I build?

I either use my mouse to move the "screen" or i simply click on the minimap, while my left hand does all the hotkeys. After my 800 hours of playtime, it all got into muscle memory and i sometimes dont even recognize me using hotkeys. It just happens naturally and helps out alot. Also, by using the arrow keys to use the map, youre wasting one hand to do just that. Something that you can do way faster with your mouse by, for example, quickly clicking on the minimap.

I do find it forces me to pay attention to every unit, which leads to better preservation and better play.

You can do way way more if you play with hotkeys, trust me
I find that assigning the same numbers to the same unit types helps my infantry micro alot.
Core infantry gets numbers 1 - 4, snipers 5, MG's 6 and Pios 7. It helps alot. And to be honest, "R" and "T" are "must - use" hotkeys. I cant imagine playing without those.

Against better opponents, the more mouse work you have to do the worse it gets for you.

Im against the idea giving the Soviets easy access to all of their tiers in a single match.
This would make them too strong in my opinion. T34's backed up by SU85's and maxims supporting snipers? And all of that by a single player? No thanks.

Also, i think this would result in a rather boring and maybe even more boring meta in comparison to the meta that exists now.
It would look like this : unlock all tiers quickly, have everything to counter everything.

I think that goes against the current Soviet army design.

I, however, agree that somethings needs to be done against the cheese. Maxim or Sniper spam is really no fun to play against. Its also not fair.

You really need to be careful about changing or nerfing Soviet units. When looking at them from a statistic perspective, nearly all of their stock units are worse than their counterparts. Soviets need to rely on abilities or, simply put, cheese to counter things. That may be broken design, but the design needs to be fundamentally changed when you change the Soviet core units in more than a slight way. I also think that the call in system is broken right now and further highlights the problems of the Soviet faction.

This topic is a very sensitive one. Small changes wont do the job in my opinion. If anything, big changes are needed. And that results in balance problems. And that consequently results in tears in our beloved forums.

wooof is right on this one.



konigskubel with a squad of sturmpios will wreck on shocks.

And honestly, just kite them. Their long-mid range dps is abhorrent.

ALL HAIL TO THE KÖNIGSKUBEL!

Aww, nothing brings people together like invading Poland.

hurts my polish feelings
