Remember when

MG42s spam was unbeatable as soviets in 2v2+

A P4 at vet 2 was a tiger on speedy steroids plus smoke

Sturmovik attacks totaled your army

The 5 min t70 bum rush when you are just about able to rush a pak that gets flanked anyway

Assgrens on release able to carry you to some crazy t0 to t3 rush

What do you remember?

I remember my Vet 3 T-70 beating a Panzer IV in a one-on-one fight. Oh, old Veterancy, how you were so broken.

I also remember when you could take an MG with Penals, and instead of having an MG team, it was more like Penals with an MG. Even if you had it facing the wrong way, the Penal crewmen could just fight off flanking Grenadiers or Pioneers! :clap:

I remember when flamer 251 was super scary and through vet, it gained loads of hp as to require several t34 shots to take out.

4 minute t70.

Sniper in m3 because two men snipers apparently werent durable enough.

Cap gun infantry skirmishes. (Armor on Ostheer infantry, Guards, and more on shocks)

TA roflstomp.

Elefant being in meta.

And when G43 LMG grenadiers rolled over Soviets in record time.

Remember when

Opel fuel trucks and Stuka strafe runs killed everything?

engineers highhandedly beating Pioneers

SU-76 didnt suck (oh wait, I dont remember that. Its always been terrible!)

T34s were so god awful that T3 was never made except to do a 4 minute T70 rush

1 CP guards and shocks

when all heavy armor was never made and was terrible

when flame half track killed everything and was the most terrifying thing
that existed

Remember when the T34 got a huge armor buff at vet 2? And RAM ended Tigers?

When the T34/85 and IS2/ISU were considered garbage?

Oh yeah, t34 was only good for ramming material since it guaranteed disability almost all the time and the su-85's vet was pretty crazy.

Also, i remember 145 fuel panthers with smoke + blitz... And the schreck blobs... The panzergrenadier schreck blobs...

Ppsh vet 3 cons had chances against vet 3 lmg grens.

Only German tank able to kill infantry was ostwind.

Assgrens cost 240 mp.

Ram was ultimate counter to all German armor.

And, finally, my favorite part, old m3 cost and cptMolo-style m3 rushes.

I remember watching you do that... and the some cons squads would have a model left and even those could be rebuilt.

Looking at the old (like around release) patch notes, you find some really strange things, like the Panzer IV doing 80 damage a hit, or the T-34/85 having 640 health and costing less than a panzer IV.

But then you also see things like the StuG having 60 range and it makes you sad that they aren't as good anymore.

I remember before the march deployment when infantry took next to no damage unless AOE attacks. IF someone spammed guards it was a nightmare to actually kill them off.

I also remember when shocks had Terminator Space Marine armor and could charge 3+ fully upgraded grenadiers with almost no casulties.

Burning engines from running over bonfires.

Soviet wire fields that would be a godsend against Volk blobs but were probably broken as hell.

"Useless" German mines and useful Panzerwerfers.
