The skill level is not related in anyway with the ability of one to make productive unbiased balance comment.

Trying to find criteria, which one has to fulfill before proving helpful balance comments is practically pointless because even if one could come up with such criteria, one would than have to enforce a way to separate people into categories.

It is actually much simpler and far more productive to focus on the comment themselves instead of focusing on the person who makes the comments.

The hostility and toxicity with which some people respond to posts, is indicator that they have personal issues and they are far less productive than the people who made the original post.

Can't merge mechanics be changed so that models merged into Maxim don't keep their original RA, then?

a setup mg42 must be retreat when flanked....a maxim wont

I agree but 5 man won’t do no good, since conscripts can merge, instead the suppression of maxim should stay as is but give conscript a rear echelon like volley fire ability for nominal amounts of munition, that by itself shouldnt suppress but designed to apply in conjunction with a maxim to create an mg34 level suppression. Not sure if that makes sense or how easily to do this, but it would fit the combined arms synergy design of soviets, and reward good play.


That said i think soviets main problem with crutching cheese units is that conscripts arent good enough and fail to be either ostruppen or grenadiers but inherit worse of both, far too expensive for what they are without ppsh. Conscripts need serious changes, once they are in a good place it would be reasonable to nerf some cheesy soviet units

Soviet mgs should not be overbuffed or they will become too much with 6 man.

I think the recurrent response here is that soviets are too good and if you reduce the cost of T4 they would be a nightmare to deal with.

Soviets are op because of the current penal+guards situation, that itself is imposed since Axis dominate every match-up in 1v1.

Soviet players who are serious about winning go penal+guards abusive strats because there is no other way to counter the flurry of early axis lights.

It has been the same problem soviets deal with since day one.
