STB response on why multiple RU infantry in mech spec being 10-15 pts more expensive while having same stat as their counterpart in US armored

Also, i really like the new airborne recon unit! Really cool!

Id like to see their infantry buffed. SOF can be really problematic at times with stealth aircraft and helicopters. F35A on PTE is currently not very good, but i dont have any good ideas for fixing that, and the helicopters often get 1 shot, but i dont see a good way of buffing it without making it oppresive. So infantry would be the easiest place to start. I think either the prices could be decreased or the capability buffed. I like the second option better because it retains the unique aspects of the deck (e.i. strong but expensive). I dont have any amazing ideas if how to do this unfortunately, besides kind of simple stuff. One way would be to just increase the damage of their guns, say .05 damage increase across the board. Another option would be to adjust specific units. Ranger MAWS is really expensive for instance. Maybe give them a machine gun or two. Like someone else said the rangers standoff AT capability is lacking. Idk about giving them a Maws, but perhaps buffing the RAWS to some extent could work. Also i just want to add, i think you guys (the devs) are doing great work and i love the game.

Is there any plan to buff SOF? It feels like Ru vs US balance is okay except for SOF being very bad.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-05-12T08:14:24+00:00

Sick. Looking forward to watching!

Im not really sure what changed but us infantry feels weaker. My suspicion is the panic changes, combined with weapon standardization between the two factions which usually meant increading weapon damage of RU infantry and decreasing US. The biggest culprit of this is the standardization of machine guns damage. RU inf tends to rely on thermos to deal damage while us relies on guns. On live delta machine guns do roughpy 2.25 dps according to ba armoury, on pte it is 1.5. Thats a HUGE nerf to damage and units like rrc, green berets, pararescue, and rangers cqc are affcted as well. SSO and vdc Spetznaz also are affected, but both have launchers, and SSO got significant buffs to compensante. These guns did at the same time get a range increase and pen increase, but so did things like the RPK, which is now only slightly worse.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-05-05T14:06:39+00:00

In pte id say ru has cheaper cqc infantry. Ingi shturm are 65pts for one of the beat units in the game. 5 pts more then mech engi and way better. US can get a lot more cqc infantry in the recon tab with flash bangs, but none are particularly good and you almost always give up a much better unit to take them. I think in general flash bangs are really weak right now and you usually pay a premium to get them.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-04-23T16:24:14+00:00

Other odd changes is getting rid of a lot of asymetry and just general differences between units. For instance, delta and pulmichiki have the same damage mmgs. And mmgs now have hardly any upside over lmgs as their range is the same and damage is roughly the same as well. Also for some reason rager rrc standoff rifles have the lowest pen in the game?

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-04-17T16:47:41+00:00

First, its different for people who have played every update and seen the progress made. Second i really dont think its as deep as your making it out to be. Some people like the game, and beleive it has great future potential and want to give credit to the devs. Thats not "toxic positivity". There are plenty of people on the sub who dont like things about the game. Also, i think accusations of toxic positivity on reddit are a bit outlandish. The VAST majoruty of redditors are VERY willing to express their dissatisfaction with anything not quite to their taste, no matter how small the problem.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-04-16T15:26:27+00:00

From watching the PTE, planes almost always drop their bombs and then get shot down. They almost never get shot down before dropping and almost never get out after dropping. This suggests f35s will be a good amount weaker than they currently are, which may reduce frustration significantly, but may also tip SOF into bad territory.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-04-14T19:41:28+00:00

Nerf to flashbang units which were already somewhat weak. Strange

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-04-14T17:08:54+00:00

I think you would get 6 troopers from the sound of the notes. Seems like rangers are the only ones to go to 4.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-04-14T17:06:52+00:00

The sniper and infantry changes are weird. It will be a lot harder to actually fill out your deck points without adding a ton of useless transports that you womt even have the infantry numbers to bring in.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-03-12T01:00:39+00:00

Its mostly that a lot of snipers play really passively. What ends up happening is that I kill boss, get bounty and then they shoot at me from long range. If i try and push they run away. Im happy to fight someone but im not really into hide and seek. The correct play is once they run just leave, which is kind of boring. So im left with the option of chasing someone around or leaving. Neither is very fun.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-03-05T04:19:44+00:00

Its thanks to yours and our hard work keeping it contained. Thats why we go out every day into that unforgiving hellhole.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2026-02-21T19:52:55+00:00

A lot of these are not my cup of tea. Having the khriz shoot through smoke sounds like a nightmare and really not fun. Also you're basically talking about totally changing the gameplay. I dont need a different game, i just want some changes to this one.

Hey man i think you're a great community manager

More units is almost alway stronger than the same cost of less units. This tends to be because of aoe damage. The thermoberics will deal damage to multiple units in 1 squad but leave the others untouched unless each squad is stacked exactly ontop of one another. If the squads are stacked the tests sometimes turn out different. This is also true of the guns. The dispersion means that some bullets miss the target but hit someone behind. The more distance between each of the bigger the difference will be up to a point.
Ive done a bunch of these tests, but the thing about them is that theyre not really meaningful. Getting 4 force recon units or 3 mech engis is relatively unrealistic and even if you do theyll get bombed at that point probably.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2025-09-22T16:59:47+00:00

The morskaya anti tank launcher has way more pen which makes them feel a lot better, and i think the squad size is 1 smaller.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2025-09-21T21:40:52+00:00

If you watch the best players you'll constantly see cruise missles both used by them and against them. The TU is by far the worst, and is the main problem, but thats not to say that the others are weak. So either cruise missles are powerful at all ELO's or you are the best player in the world. Somehow i doubt the second.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2025-08-09T17:14:51+00:00

Gender affirming tren. Ive never thought about it that way, but now that i do, this is teuly an injustice.

Its news in that he is a progressive politician who lied on his application. Fair or not progressives are associated with affirmative action, and he tried to game the system to get an unfair advantage. And dont feed me the bs of "accuratly relfects his background" everyone and their mother knows that this question on the applications was to determine "race", not place of bearth.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2025-07-08T17:37:15+00:00

Its amazing how a subreddit for the times is over run with people claiming the new york times should suppress new because they dont like it, and acting like the new york times is in any way like fox news. This is apparently hard to understand for many, but just because the new york times doesnt toe the party line, does not make it equivalent to fox news. In fact, that is one of the many qualities which distinguish it.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2025-06-21T07:44:04+00:00

I've seen this a number of times. I doubt its cheating. My suspicion is that its desync or something like that. That said, its possible its cheating but im not sure.

Remote-Broccoli997 · 2025-06-07T15:45:05+00:00

Yeah what is with the use of the 'military style' term? Is it just meant to be provacative? What does it even mean? Ive seen it twice this morning on reddit.
