[1.3.0.2] Soviets vs. PE

[Natti]

Just try to play against a propaganda Soviet with PE. It's freakin' impossible.
They make one Katyusha and that's it. You have no way for countering it.
Or Sharpshooter spam combined with some ZiS ATG's. No way for beating it.

I know that PE is a weak faction ATM but still, shouldn't you guys be balancing the game? Right now the horrible OP of the Soviets just makes it impossible to win them with PE. Sharpshooters + ATG's + Katyusha's + PE enemy = Soviet Wins.

Looks like you have some troubles. This combo is soooo easy to beat. Katyusha is really weak. Make AC or HT with PGrens with Schrecks and make a raid. Snipers+Zis2 are really easy to counter with MHT and inciedienary rounds. Use 2 at once to gain devastating effect.

[GodlikeDennis]

Your argument is invalid. Just because "YOU have no way for countering it" doesn't make it OP, since the rest of us make do. Don't call something OP without justification.

Use a shrek squad around the back, in a halftrack if you have to. Kats are extremely weak.

The new patch has made Axis infantry useless against USSR.  But as PE, you can still fight decently against the Soviets with light vehicles.  Just don't invest in Pgrens; they are sniper / katysha food for the insane vet.

You should enjoy the last days of the ghostly ZiS-5 as well .

I know that panzer elite has no Tank, but I thought they have like the best self-propelled anti-tank gun in the world.

It's all good and well to say make a raid but 2 AT guns will eat an IHT before it even gets close and that's not mentioning the penetration on soviet inf weapons, not saying it's OP just saying it's not super easy against a skilled opponent.

MHT works but the drawback is that the ZIS out ranges the MHT by quite a bit so if it is an open map with little cover you get 2 shotted before your second round even hits the ground which to me is a problem with the ZIS balance they have crazy range.

MHT has slightly longer range.

[Monkeysphere]

Then why was it that I was getting nailed by a ZIS and when I went to use incendiary rounds the MHT had to move forward to be in range?

[GodlikeDennis]

MHT has 70 range, ZiS-2 65 range. Incendiary has same range as regular barrage. MHTs glitch all the time and move too close. That's probably what happened.
