Pretty much Albus' s strat except you can just get 4 grens (constantly replace them) and improvise any unit (42, mortar, sniper etc), until dual T3 tanks and tiger ace. Ideally u'd use lmg grens in pairs and hunt/focus fire lone squads at max range.

You need to build T2 incase you face t34/kv spam. P4 can't penetrate kvs unless at point blank range.

It one shots AT guns all the time, which is the biggest problem. Medium tanks like the P4 will have trouble reliably penetrating it sometimes. It can often 1 shot lone squad if they are clumped, but not all the time.


The unit is performing far better than any equivalent option for the Soviets, I don't get why Soviet fans are so defensive over it. It's not a core unit, if it didn't exist it wouldn't "nerf" the faction. Currently, it's creating a lot of balance problems. You can't counter with PAKs. Flanking with 2 P4s is harder than it sounds against a well supported army.

Yes, OKW has decent counter to the ISU (the jadgepanzer, and less so the jadgetiger). But Ostheer have little. They can't use PAK40s (will get wiped in 1 shot), elefant (there's a reason you don't see these in 1v1s anymore) or Tigers against an army that can use their ZIS AT guns + ISU + guards.


Don't want to bring up playercards but kreatiir has no position to say "L2P/L2A" when he hasn't actually played that much at all and isn't offering advice to OP. And of course, Kaitof will always defend the Soviet faction exclusively.

Against Soviets, you need a 222 (fastest time is 5 minutes) against T1 starts. You can see through the fog of war to see the teching of Soviets.

PGrens are special forces "elite" infantry, they cost a lot of mp reinforcement but in good positioning can kill a lot. I'd get them during mid-late game, after you have lots of T1 units.

Grens are always the main infantry. In most games, it's best to have 4 grens by early-mid game.



And PAK40s are the best AT guns in the game. Always get them, except if you know the enemy is saving up for an ISU and not teching. You can tell by their commander loadouts and if they are stalling. You should always get a quick PAK too against USF, since they tend to rush an AAHT.

You always need to build T2 even if you dont plan on building any units, incase you're forced in a situation where you need PAKs (eg KV1/8 base rush). The build time for PAKs is not long.

Sheldt 2.0 will only release for the grand finale of Relic's Coh 2. This is when Relic stops making "new content" and move on to Coh 3. What better way to end the community than releasing Sheldt 2.0. 99% of games will be Sheldt compstomps .

You guys forgot m3flamers. That's probably the worst of them all, since it's such an insult to historical accuracy, realism and logic. It's also easy cheese.

The faction design is good when players make an effort to make conscripts first and then T1/T2 units (ie combined arms). It's just that some units are broken (eg ISU) and there are cheese starting strategies (m3 flamer starts, triple sniper squads and maxim spam, and waiting for heavy tnaks).

They have the lowest learning curve, and that's why people say they are "easymode".

You just have to get used to it, it gives Axis players more challenge.
