No it is. I watched 10 replays especially for you. In a battle, on average, 1 person uses several cuirasses, 1-3 on one or two squads. I saw a player 2 times where everyone had cuirasses. On average, cuirasses are found in 1.6 players on the USSR team. The reason for fear?
On what basis do you claim that 100% of players use cuirasses? Or are you not claiming this when you say “for a one shot kill gun - which FG42 isnt”?
What do you mean by that a couple of players can beat you?
oh no, I’ve been exposed. But anyway. Here is a person who plays much better than me, says the same thing as me. And this opinion prevails on the RU forum. USSR is a weak faction. Removing cuirasses will only make it weaker.
That is like claiming that Maus would be balanced because only 1 or 2 players would use it at a time.
Nope Soviet body armour is a flat 10% damage reduction that is cumulative with vitality which is an insane advantage over the rest of the factions.
Yes. But I repeat. I would prefer it not to be in the game. But the current balance forces me to insist on keeping the cuirasses, for now.
You can do as much as you want, even around and around. rof 600 vs. rof 750, 15 rounds vs. 20 rounds.
10% damage reduction is nothing compared to this.
It’s your own choice to play any faction you like, people played US before Pershing, T20, Bazooka buff ect and were doing great so we clearly know that players don’t need power creep equipment to play a faction.
WIll removing body armor make infantry weaker? Will removing TIger 2 make german tanks weaker? Maybe no shit sherlock capabilities removed lower win %?
Do soviets have a 1.5ton bomber? Do they have a fast reload heavy tank? Rocket plane at high BR?
Things arent being removed from the game, theyre being added.
Stop crying about ur favorite thing that triggers you and post your main weaker win % than ur enemies - if ur an Axis main show me how your Soviet lineup on average has a higher WR than ur main Axis lineup and vice versa
USSR has the best infantry weapons in the game plus body armor to survive for longer, only their tanks are are weaker but i would rather take AS-44 or RD-44 or Thompson 100 or PPSH-41 squads than a single KT that dies in 1-3 hits from anything i never have problem with them in my t-34-100 or when i’m carrying panzerfaust i just see them as a silver piñata.
Id personally like more body armor / ways of increasing survivability in game, I brought up Medic 2 squad with Medic APCs that resurrect lost squad members as further increasing TTK (time to kill)
Historically its Soviets and Japs that issued body armor at scale. Everybody else should have then on premium + event squads, otherwise its just a boogey man of ppl afraid to leave their King tiger. Its prob a better use of time to rally for Japan having their body armor since again, were adding content to game, not removing it.
As for AVT 20-25 rd?
You can right now main AVS/AVT combo on riflemen, with quick switch it basically works like a 30rd clip - you cant do that with FG42s, so sure it would be nice to see, but than my Soviet dual wielding riflemen are pushing 40rd clips FUNCTIONALLY.
