I want an AT gun not a muni synch wannabe mortar personally. I dont think the Zis is good. I think the Pak is GOOD. The Zis is "Better than nothing". And personally I like the 57MM better against Medium armor because it vets really fast hitting it. And at vet with its ROF its pretty damn good imho. Well at least for what it costs.

You forgot about the Maxim WOOPS I DROPPED THE GUN loop. That needs to be fixed. And its not as good of an MG really. I think Mg I think Area Denial support weapon that controls blobs. The Maxim doesnt do this really. But hey I can LIVE with it once they fix the damn I DROPPED IT slaughterfest.

Edit: I would say the 120MM is good at Vet 1 and above. Before that its just MEH for what it costs. The Mortar HT is so much better of an option when it comes to doctrinal indirect fire.

Hello all,

So the hot topic these days seems to be the Soviet slight early game edge and things like mines and ISU/Elephant blah blah blah and there are a million threads on these subjects.

But what I haven't seen YET is a thread about how the Infantry Lethality effects soviet support teams surviability.

Since the changes Osts DPS is designed to kill 6 men in the same time as it takes Soviet to kill 4 (roughly cover and range dependant).

This means that with the 25% damage boost to support teams Ost can kill them even faster still.

Ever see what happens when a Pgren gets behind a Zis or a Maxim this patch for example? Its a LOL slaughterfest of biblical proportions.

Now back in the day the reason Soviet support teams were given such abysmal ROF is due to the fact that they had superior surviability and nasty nasty vet 1 abilities (mortar for example)

But alot has changed since them there days. For example Paks recieved target weak point at vet 1. Does this mean the Pak should shoot slower than the Zis? OF COURSE NOT!

So why do we still have such abysmal ROF on the Soviet Mortar? I get the 4 man squad thing but Precsion strike is not at all what it used to be. It feels more like a long range rifle nade more than an OMG Squad ending ability that would then require the Mortar to be balanced with such a piss poor ROF.

Same can be said for the Zis. Is barrage really that great to have such a HUGE ROF difference? I dont think so.

Maxims well thats a touchy subject. They can be spammed to great effect as everybody knows but they arent really good at doing MG things. Not to mention the good old WOOPS I DIED AND DROPPED THE MAXIM infinite loop....

I feel strongly that some love needs to be given to soviet T2 to put it on a more level playing field to Osts support weapons now that they cant take punishment like they used too.

Now I dont mean that they should be as GOOD but maybe cut the current difference in half when it comes to ROF on the Zis and more importantly the absolutely worthless mortar.

I would like to see Soviet combined arms equally as good as the Germans when used not a pail comparison which i feel it currently is.

That is all....

Guy was my elo rank at the time of this game. This is an example of how useful the T70 can be. He really should have retreated more.
