First Patch

I watched the replays. Yes, Ingenery spam is a huge problem. Please do something about it, it's like pio-spam and rifle-spam combined on SPEED.

Right now, it's Ingy spam that's a real balance killer, that and the Soviet heavy mortar (what seems like half of the posts in the balance forum is whining about those two). Also, it seems that the PE now has a crippling disadvantage against the Sovs: Panzergrenadiers get ripped apart by hordes of Ingenery while most if not all of their T1/T2/T3 vehicles get raped by early PTRDs.

If these two could get fixed I feel it would only be a slight exaggeration to say the game would be exponentially better. Ingy spam is the big one here, since this totally throws the "soviets have a weak early game" thing out the window. I really have to question giving a t0 150 mp 4 man unit bolt action rifles. Sure sappers are 4 men and get bolt actions, but they're a t2 320 mp squad that's slow as hell and doesn't cap uber fast... Currently they're far too cheap and build too fast for their power even without upgrades or the flamethrower since 1 ingy squad has repeatedly and handily defeated 2 pio squads, and 2 of them can beat a volks squad, and most gallingly I've had mg42 teams in green cover beaten by 2 ingy squads in yellow cover on multiple occasions. Builder units should be cheap, but something has to be done about those rifles.
