Their base accuracy/damage value is still a bit high for a T1 unit. 222/Luchs/AAHT? Well there is their AT super nade. They beat upgraded grens (60Munis/240MP/30MP Reinforce cost)and panzergrenadiers. And OKW is doomed against th SOVS anyway.


Their nade should be unlocked once they upgrade to PTRS. Also their accuracy/damage or ROF should be reduced.

i ask myself everyday why in the hell are penals (strafnikis) and unexpierenced USF trainees better than german troops which fought since years on all fronts...

the german soldier was a well trained and experienced soldier.

sovjets didnt trained their soldiers in most cases...they get a hat, jacket, shoes and maybe a weapon

I doubt they have furniture of any kind, seeing as they're prisoners.

nope...they won cause germany fought against the half world....on 3-4 fronts....over whole europe....against 1:10 tanks and infantery relation.

look how much t34 (around 80.000) where build...and shermans (around 40.000)....planes...artillery..

germany was every night under attack from bomber planes


and the half world need 3 years...while france was beaten in 8 weeks. poland (2. hugest army) in 4 weeks.

sovjets lost 3millions solders in the first monts...


yeah....now u.

there is another thread for how Hitler lost WW2, Here:
https://www.coh2.org/topic/56497/adolf-hitler-mistakes I suggest here is the better play for discussion on historical events in WW2


Otherwise i suggest the OP sends in a replay here:
https://www.coh2.org/forum/109/replay-reviews

so myself or one of the other strategist can help!

This game is not and will never be about historical accuracy, go watch documentaries and read wikipedia if that is all you want.

Good luck to successfully connect a satchel on a P2
And if you upgrade them with PTRS they become useless versus infantry, and even with the PTRS they still die like flies versus a P2

They are only really useful as late game vet 3 units with a too powerful snare. Just keep one of them next to your tanks and nothing can come close to it. I have snared some Panthers that dared to flank this way.

I saw everyone talking about the amazing AT nade on penals and was surprised when they only had a satchel. Against competent players I really wouldn't count that as an AT grenade. Unless I missed a button?

Ah, thanks. Do you have to aim it, or does it auto-lock like the cons at-nade?
