Here are just some idea's for balancing.
1) Reduce capping speed for Ingenerry, PTRD Tank Hunters, Snipers and Mortars
2) Eliminate capping for conscripts, for 200MP and no pop, early game that is an incredible capping power. They where fresh soldiers that had very little experience shooting a weapon much less capturing points.
3) Increase the reload time on the mortars, they fire only slightly slower then axis mortars. This would offset the high damage and range.
4) IS-2 Needs a limit of 2, ISU-152 limit of one, 900MP and can be called in like a Tiger OR 500MP give it higher Armor and make it a one time call in like the KT or Jagdtpanther.
5) I understand you don't want the Russians putting up MGs all over the place but because it is a doctrine specific building eliminate the population cost.
6) Increase the MP cost on the T34s to 400 from 300, will help slow the insane M10 style rushes.
7) Give the command squad the ability to rank up to gain access to the Heroic Charge, Binoculars, and Arty Barrage. IE: Rank1 Binoculars, Rank2 Heroic Charge, Rank3 Arty Barrage. This would eliminate the careless throwing your Command Squad into the enemy. Also increase the cost from 300MP to 300MP and 10 Fuel. (someone suggested the tier system but I elaborated on it but I do not take this suggestion as my own)
**EDIT** Found it!
tbh, Command squad's abilities should be unlocked per tier.
Binoculars are T1
Fire up is T2
Officer ARty is T3
8 ) KV-2 was one of the most heavily armored tanks in WW2, its speed, rate of fire and power are fine, just give it more armor and limit it like the Tiger.
9) During the Red Flag Charge increase damage taken by two. Seriously? You are going to stand up in front of an MG and not have anyone die?
Just food for thought...
10) Allow the Russians to re-crew their lost weapons, only theirs BUT it has to be Strelky or Guard... Conscripts as stated before are fresh troops and barely know how to fire a weapon...kinda stupid in my opinion how a German squad can roll up and take the mortar because the Russians couldn't re-crew it, same goes for the ZiS-2s.
Please feel free to comment, but don't say "Oh you just suck because of blah blah and blah reasons." It is rather annoying that suggestions get lost because of flamers/trolls.
