Red Army Suggestions

2 Main suggestions

1.  Add the Maxim MG Team.  This is needed, and definitely should be made to not go into buildings, so yes, function about the same as an AT gun.

2.  Add an armored car like the Ba-64.  I was surprised to see that no Soviet armored cars were in the original make.  Since the other 4 factions of the original CoH all have them, I think the Soviets should as well.

PS--I also think the SU-85 shouldn't be upgradable to the SU-100.  I have found that the SU-100 wasn't even that common, and it tips the balances a little too much.  Just stick with the plain SU-85.

T90:
1-1200 rounds/min
2-Move fast
3-armored
4-the turret can rotate very fast
5-low damages

Maxim:
1-600 rounds/min
2-Move slow
3-crew weak
4-need to be moved
5-Heavy damages

There are many differences!  :P

SU-100 wasnt common becouse too little 100mm AT guns were produced. IS-2 had a 122mm naval! gun becouse of that.
But 100mm upgrade isnt that common in the game.
Its needed if you have no soviet WSC (no IS-2) and need a good AT gun to fight a panther battle group.

QuoteBy July 1945, 2,335 SU-100s had been built.

thats a lot more than the amount of King Tigers built, which was less then 500. In CoH it doesn't really matter how rare a specific unit was in reality, if it existed, it's an option.

Re: 2 Main suggestions

I posted a thread about armored cars a little while ago, and it got derailed onto some debate about light tanks, like what's happening already to this one. He's not suggesting a light tank, he's suggesting a wheeled recon vehicle.

If you guys want to keep talking about the T-90, MAKE YOUR OWN FRIGGIN THREAD ABOUT IT, and dont try to hijack other peoples threads that dont have anything to do with what you're posting.

I do rather like the idea though of a wheelable MG team, using something like the PM1910 Maxim. I bet devs could just reuse the model assets from the US .30 cal or British Vickers, since they look a lot like the M1910, and just reskin it and reuse the AT gun team code.

Re: 2 Main suggestions

Which would mean they where very common, the Germans used railway arty quite often to attack the Russians because the western front was constantly under attack by the Allied Air Superiority

Re: 2 Main suggestions

No not really the germans only built 25 of the K5 guns. The Germans only really used them for long drawn out sieges like at Anzio or Sevastopol. The main thing with the big guns the geremans had were that the high command made a big deal about them as they were a major investment and that they were heavily photographed for propaganda.
