Russian Heavy Infantry

[Sturmovik]

+1 to the MG unit for the Soviets.
Practice shows, that the support weapon for the SU front is needed. First time confrontations, with expirienced german player, shows good use of defence installations + mortar & MG support will stay thought untill heavy or armored units of nazi will marsh to the front line. Rifle squads & many enchancements of antiinfantry support in the beginning (with extrashort point counting) is anfortunate for the soviets line.

MG tank? SU troops without support units with good nzi player will live short & take loses of territory. With this point of view, later, if Soveits wil survive, MG tanks not needed. Nazi AT guns & first panzers make this kind of support zero effectiveness.

Be sure, i have a friend - good nazi player. He very quick adapt to the recruit SA charges.

I don't think you can make devs add MG to Soviets... Do they need MG? Yeah, that "would be cool". Do PE need snipers? That "would be cool" too. It's not like Soviet Army is helpless without MGs.

Offtopic: if you're using Russian CoH version, you can help me refine translation - you can either use a topic for translation errors in "bugs" section of add me in ICQ/MSN.

What's the point of this listing (which we can all dig out of the internet)? What's it got to do with the game/faction?

Company of Heroes is about companies and 1 day skirmishes, not divisions and 1 year campaigns.

You are slowless.
It is for historycal confirmation, that the MGs is more than take a place in soviet army during 1941-45.
