Watch out for these 2 players, XD was using maphack, it was very evident
I have faced them on several occasions, but this time I noticed it because I was playing German, using the grenadiers that camouflage themselves

Then you'll want to post their SteamID and SteamID64 in addition to what you posted.

I'll go first.

I really love the dark jazz vibes of this single, and I was listening to it on repeat for a few days after I first heard it :



This album is the kind of thing I can just put on, lay in my bed, and just watch my imagination as it comes up with the story these songs are trying to tell. I also used to play it in the background while I would play CoH. Not really to get pumped up, but for the vibes:

TLDR.
Here is my concise take on what is missing in coh2: A buff to the KT!

Stunning and brave, Pat. I can't help but agree!

Ok, so I've been posting here for a long time, and I've had a lot of fun with CoH 2, but I have to be honest; something has been bugging me more and more. The game is great in so many ways—the tactics, the strategy, the historical units. It's all really immersive, and there's a lot to love about it. But for me, one thing keeps pulling me out of the experience: the tanks.

Now, I get it, tanks are a huge part of the game, and they’re important for any WWII strategy, but, man... they just don’t feel right in Company of Heroes 2. I don’t know if it’s the way they handle or the fact that they often feel like they’re made of wet paper. The AI for them is a mess sometimes—like, you tell your Tiger tank to advance, and it just gets stuck on a fence, or worse, it decides to just stare at an enemy tank instead of shooting it. The armor mechanics don’t always feel very believable, either. I’ve had my T-34 bounce off enemy fire like it’s a bouncing ball, and then a single shot from a Panzer IV knocks out my engine. What’s the deal with that? It’s like these tanks are made of Swiss cheese, but the enemies can’t hit a barn door.

And don’t even get me started on the infantry support with tanks. Sure, they’re supposed to be powerful, but when your tanks get bogged down by infantry or halftracks, you just sit there, staring at the screen, wondering why you bothered investing all that fuel and manpower for a tank that can't even get through a field of sandbags without getting annihilated. The whole thing starts feeling like a joke. I want to love the tank combat in CoH 2, I really do, but every time I field a tank, it feels like a death sentence—for me, not the enemy.

But honestly? After all this frustration, I’ve come to a painful realization. I need something more... realistic. Something that makes me feel like I’m commanding an actual, heavy, dangerous war machine—not a tin can that can barely get out of its own way. That’s when I started playing War Thunder... and oh man, I have never looked back.

Let me tell you, if you’re serious about tanks and WWII combat, War Thunder is where it's at. Gaijin Entertainment gets it. They understand tanks. This game is the ultimate tank simulator, folks. I’m talking about real tank dynamics—ballistics, armor penetration, proper physics that actually make sense. You get the satisfaction of penetrating an enemy tank’s armor and seeing the damage unfold. When your Panzer IV takes out a T-34 from 500 meters, it’s not just some random roll of the dice—it’s your skill, your understanding of armor thickness, your turret placement, your shell type. This is what tanks should feel like.

And don’t even get me started on the graphics. When you roll into battle in a Tiger or a Sherman, the detail is absolutely stunning. You see the individual rust on the side of the turret, the tracks sinking into the mud. The immersive sound of tank engines roaring and the deafening sound of cannon fire—it’s real. When you’re in a tank in War Thunder, you feel like you’re in a tank. Every shot, every explosion, it feels like you're part of the battle. It’s like Gaijin has channelled the essence of World War II combat itself. The physics, the feeling of raw power, the real-world mechanics that make each tank feel unique—it’s something CoH 2 could only dream of.

Plus, the game lets you jump into massive, immersive battles. We're talking about thousands of players, huge maps, and aircraft and tanks working together. Realistic tank battles where you can command everything from light tanks to heavy destroyers, and they all operate in a way that feels... well, real. It’s not just about getting your tank stuck in a corner or having your crew get wiped out by a single grenade. You get to feel the weight of each vehicle, and there's an actual sense of progression—unlocking new tanks, upgrading your crews, learning new tactics, and mastering combat.

So, yeah, CoH 2 has its merits, but if you want the true tank experience, if you want the raw, unfiltered, high-stakes combat that lets you actually feel the power of armored warfare, War Thunder is where it’s at. No more worrying about “where did my tank go?” or “Why did my Panzer just explode for no reason?” Gaijin knows what they’re doing, and every battle feels like you're part of something bigger. You can’t say that about CoH 2. I’m telling you, once you play War Thunder, you’ll never look at tanks the same way again.

Go ahead, give it a try. You’ll thank me later.

Gaijin Entertainment, I humbly bow before your genius. You’ve brought us the holy grail of tank simulation. War Thunder is the future, and I am but a humble soldier in your service.
