This game was pretty silly. Went up against the #1 4v4 team, and gave them their 2nd ever loss as German (we also gave them their first loss previously).

How to deal with late game Tigers, Elefants, Paks, and Panthers? Spam ISU of course. At one point we had 7 ISU's on the field just blowing everything up.

Our enemy said "Just spam ISUs and you dont even need to play the game yourself" and I think he was right.

Yea..what a game, 152 spam is op, those German soilders were the real heroes, not afraid even when they knew those 152s were on the other side squad wiping like on steroid. We lost the first game due to 152 spam also tho.

if elefant spam,we are just occupying popcap and manpower upkeep with so few disadvanatges vs those shocks and guards. ISU counters anythings, from inf,to tanks and to even planes with those MG gunners.
so isu spam works.
and theres hardly any flanking routes in that map for panthers,p4s and tigers. isu+mines combo and the game becomes all on long range domination and isu is best at that as it counters anything

It is more matter of worthless tigers (which done something only because Soviets were too lazy to protect flank with mines) and strange decision to make panthers instead of elefants by elefant player. Pak's 43 cant kill even single correctly played ISU on it own, but a pair of vetted elefants supported by them could make wonders.
I am not saying ISU's shouldn't be nerfed back in terms of At/and or survivability, but you guys could won this game.

The first game had only 1 isu commander and no more than 2 ISU's on the field, that isn't spam.

You guys are top ranked in both soviets and germans. You were matched up against another fixed team and not just any team, the team who have beaten you before. Yet you still decide to go against them with only 1 guy with elephants.

Unless you were sleeping when the match was loading, you'd be able to anticipate that they'd go for ISU's against you by simply looking at their available commanders. ISU's wipe squads but they are not Gods that can't be beaten.

Sending your troops to their deaths isn't the only way to scout out the enemy you know. That's what recon planes are for. You did use them but you didn't capitalize on your intel. So many times you could have easily won and so many times you had the advantage but in the end, their teamwork proved better and were able to amass heavy tanks. Russians don't click on the ISU button and 7 pop out. You had ample time to take it out before the next one appeared.

As powerful as the ISU is, in an equal game elefant spam would beat the ISU spam. Its lame as hell that either of these units be 100% required for top tier 4v4, and even worse that spamming them is a huge advantage unless the other one spams in response.

The ISU squad wiping is no joke, and this gives it a significant bonus. At long range this thing does miss quite frequently against infantry and attack ground.

I'm really not sure what would fix the ISU vs Elefant meta.

I dont see the point of using Tigers against ISUs. Ferdi + panthers could be more usefull. ferdi is for direct hit, panthers for flanking. Tiger is too slow against ISU's range

ISUs and Elephants need a range nerf then they should be relatively balanced. But right now all Rus need to do is spam ISUs... Ele are not an effective enough counter. It's very hard to have fun playing team games atm.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
Last Thursday, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Last Thursday, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
Last Thursday, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
Last Thursday, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...
20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.

16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying...

14 Mar 2025, 19:26 PM
Rosbone: It is so unlike Relic to punish its fans and community.
14 Mar 2025, 12:07 PM
adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic
14 Mar 2025, 10:45 AM
Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
