Its about flavor and to provide a variety of strategy rather than buffing units for the sake of buffing.

All of these upgrades can be gated through some fuel requirement similar to how the M5 call-in in the lend-lease commander requires T3 or T4 to built in order to upgrade it to a quad cannon M5. Fantastic work on the last update improving the soviets, but its still annoying how all 3 of these weapons are all doctrinal. PQ has talked about improving the soviet core army, I think this is the final step in making soviets not such a gimmicky faction that relies on commanders.

- PTRS upgrades on conscripts bought through munition, however requires T3 or T4 to be built, so as not to render scout car timings obsolete.

- DP-28 upgrades on penals that again, requires T3 or T4 to be built. It reinforces the nature of penals being an anti-infantry unit, from the anti-infantry building.

- PPSH upgrades on conscripts, that also requires the fuel investment of T3/T4, in exchange for the usual CP requirement that commanders have it. As for the commanders that do have the PPSH upgrade, you can make them more appealing by having a discounted munition cost and also being attainable earlier than T3/T4 is normally built. Soviet players that do not use a PPSH commander will have to compensate by paying an extra 20 munition on top of the 30 that it currently costs.

These are just starting ideas, but I honestly think all 3 of these upgrades should be in the soviet core army and not limited to doctrines. I find it really boring having to choose a particular commander over and over again if I want any 3 of these weapons in my army. Keep in mind all of these upgrades aren't just no brainer decisions, they will disadvantage the unit in some way if the player decides to upgrade the unit with that particular weapon. Penals will lose DPS when mobile, conscripts lose anti-infantry DPS when upgrading to PTRS and lose long range effectiveness when upgrading to PPSH.

Another idea is that the number of weapons allocated in these upgrades can be limited so as to not make commanders which have these weapons obsolete. PTRS upgrade for cons only allows for 1 rifle and same for the Penal squad, only granting them one DP-28 but no button ability. PPSH's given to conscripts should cost slightly more than commanders which actually have the PPSH ability and so on.

Reposting my thread from the official forums, somehow I think Coh2.org actually has more active posters lol.

Nice one, lol'd at the gold AK story

Noun or whoever did the reddit QnA last week hinted at a free weekened coming in the near future. Last time everything was 75% off. There is also the summer sale that is coming in about a month and a half they may lump in CoH2 with the sales there too.

How many of you don't understand that there is no flood control on the download counter? Raise your hands.

Translation: Our download counter is pointless.

oh thanks ami
