The officer is pretty nice. It has about the firepower of a grenadiers squad and the abilities are rather nice. It's a heavily underused unit for some reason.
- Concentrated fire is just a nice DPS boost for your units. Use it during engagements where you have a few units fighting and it will pay off.
- Smoke drops are excellent for a variety of gameplay situations such as: trying to steal a support weapon during an engagement, quickly nullifying an enemy machinegun, or covering the retreat of one of your tanks.
- Vector arty is not spectacular. It's a very situational ability. It orders artillery units to fire on location, even when they are still on cooldown. So you could use it for example with the Panzerwerfer to get extra rocket barrages. The vector ability gives arty units extra range as well so the barrages are usually fired instantly when you activate the vector arty ability.

Trenches are alright. Not bad, but not particularly good either.

Railway arty is the best call in arty at taking out static targets. Excellent against British players who use emplacements. The first round will always hit dead-center so it's a guaranteed kill on things like enemy ML-20 howitzers, mortar pits etc. Even Bofor positions will go down to a single use of this ability IF you use if after the opponent has already used the 'brace' ability and it is on cooldown. So to take out a bofors for example, first do some damage to it with a panther or a panzerwerfer and wait for it to go into brace. Then, after about 20 seconds, get some vision on the bofors and call in the railway arty on it. Brace will have worn off by the time the first railway shell lands and the 2nd or 3rd shell will destroy it.

Meh, relief infantry is better and is in overall better doctrines than rapid conscription.

i use WASD to scroll and all the keys around.

with GridKeys, you have to switch sides of the keyboard, don't you? that's very awkwar imo

I use other the other methods to move my screen around. Mostly mini map clicking and middle mouse + drag, and sometimes simply panning the screen over by moving the mouse to the side.

I think that the most annoying thing about Grid Hotkeys is how R is "Reinforce" on normal hotkeys, and "Retreat" in gridkeys. Makes for some pretty hilarious situations when you take the time to softretreat to a halftrack, only to have that squad sprinting back to base instead

For me one of the annoying things when switching from standard to grid hotkeys was that I often accidentally pressed 'R' instead of 'T' when trying to upgrade weapons on a squad.

How are maxims overperforming?
Come the fuck on, they are on spot.

Stop asking to nerf any soviet unit that performs just good.
Maxims were already nerfed.

Maxims set up so fast that they are autonomous a-move assault units rather than support weapons.
