L2P thread of post-patched Soviet

Jump back to quoted post27 Mar 2014, 15:28 PMBudwise

Agreed with the OP. Too many soviet players are just used to swarming a map with infantry, neglecting cover, and winning.

This patch is a MASSIVE step in the right direction for COH2 but of course there will be more adjustments in the future such as pios im sure. For once a patch that raises the skill level a bit instead of lowering it, and that goes for both factions. Of course scrub players who nub'd their way to the top of the ladder will hate it. I hope to see more patches like this in the future.

I can literally just attack move towards soviet base with grens and be assured of winning unless the soviet player has found some green cover to hide behind. Wow much skill, so tactic. I would've hated to play germans before this if this counts as "raising the skill level".

After ~30 in house scrims, two major issues are clear to me:

Con $/performance has deviated too far from Grens.
The 222 is forcing ZiS/Guards even harder than the FHT did.

T2 maxim/zis play into kv8 is only fun for so many games until you think 'fuck, I can be killing entire armies with pgrens right now'.

Russians just need to get over the "left-click, right-click - blob attitude" they have. If you charge your infantry into German lines, not using cover, expect to die. Pioneers are bad at long range, Mosins are good at long range, figure it out. Choosing 3 conscript-squads and oorahing into German lines head on won´t do it. Try using some Maxims or Penals along your regular infantry.

Also it´s funny to see VonIvan complain. Some months ago I played 2 games in a row against him and all he did use was the T70 soviet industry rush. Now suddenly everything is unfair.

all you did was complain when germs had the short end of the stick now you're acting like it's a perfect game

So you have played as Soviets after the patch? Could you share your win ratio? I still agree that patch is step to right direction, no deny about that. Biggest problems IMO are pioneers. They deny the map control rather easily.

"Everybody not agreeing with me is a fanboy. And when I´m out of arguments, I´ll try to lower the credibility of the opposing party.". I have the opinion that the patch was a step in the right direction, yes. Germans were weaker pre patch, too weak, yes. Does that make me a fanboy? Grow up!

The fact that you are trying to argue about my person, shows me you are out of arguments. Also I´m not falling for that manipulative way of yours. As soon as my stats show some percentage more of German games I´m a "fanboy". there are actually people who don´t a gree with you out there, name calling won´t help you.

Again, try to bring some real arguments.
