I dare not hope that this is a USF commander like lend lease and has the Firefly in it.

I am sure it wont be that good though. Probably a Cromwell or something....

Could add a 17 pounder though. Since the Pak43 is in game...why not?

And as those very words were mentioned, Relic has just finalzied a commander with an M26 Pershing Heavy Tank for 500 MP and 150 fuel. >_<

We can only hope Relic learned from the Soviet Industry Tactics/Elite Troops Doctrine P2W clusterf*ck fest.

BRITISH WITH JAPAN ! I will pay 100 dollars for japanese

I feel if they add the British AND the Japanese (very well likely), they will be apart of separate theatres. British will be in an African campaign with either the Italians or the German Afrika Korps (I'd hope for the former, but knowing Relic, anything is possible), and the Japanese in a Pacific front against a second US Forces faction, featuring MacArthur's forces.

I honestly don't know what to think of this. I've went from being in the 10,000+ to being (at the moment) 866 in my Ladder Ranking as Soviets. I genuinely cannot tell if either A. I am finally becoming a semi-semi-level (personally think this is still an overstatement) "professional" tier player – or B. All of the good players are just taking a hiatus. Regardless, I am actually considering creating a strategy guide for the Soviets. The replay I have attached is the most recent game I've played, and it highlights basically how I function in COH2 1v1s, as the Soviets. As I am creating this post, I currently am on a 6+ win-streak, and the highest I've ever achieved as Soviets is roughly 10+ (don't precisely remember the exact amount). I'd greatly appreciate any feedback that the community can provide me. From the looks of my previous opponents' player cards, they seem to be pretty good (solely basing this off of statistical data). Hope you folks enjoy!

Yeah I though I had it in the bag but the KT surprised me and lost....

Well, isn't this awkward... Anyways, I addressed your post on GameReplays.ORG a little bit ago, and I am going to fully explain why I came out victorious and ultimately defeated you.

First off, you went RIFLE COMPANY as U.S. Forces... Please tell me how my non-vet Volksgrenadiers with bolt-action K98ks are supposed to hold an even amount of ground with a unit that has semo-auto rifles with dps that will outmatch that of my units at almost ANY given range, besides farthest, WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE insta-vet. Second, since I'm certain you watched the replay several times and attempted to thoroughly analyze the engagements, I never essentially lost enough ground to where I couldn't get a respectable amount of income. Axis as it stands doesn't generally excel early-to-mid game, whereas Allies do. Keeping that in mind, wouldn't it make sense for OKW to possess an exceptionally potent late-game unit? That's the King Tiger! I do admit it should be tweaked a bit, but unlike most casual players out there who lean towards a specific faction/side, I don't think it should be nerfed into the ground to where it would be strategically unviable to even attempt to utilize it. Lastly, you probably had enough fuel to replace the losses that I inflicted and spawn out more Easy Eights (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't watched your replay since I saw it on GameReplays a couple of days ago). The King Tiger was literally what was keeping me relevant against your meta-immersed vet Riflemen. You probably surrendered prematurely, but regardless of what could have occurred, I came out the victor since I managed to hold out against your Riflemen. In other words, this isn't a matter of "balance", it's a "L2P" issue, entirely.

If you can coherently, and credibly interject, I'd be happy to address your feedback.

Putting my opinions of balance mechanics aside, I think this game is a perfect example for how a Wehrmacht (Ostheer) player can successfully hold out and efficiently defeat a US Forces opponent. As the majority consensus already indicates (at the moment), Wehrmacht is heavily under-performing in comparison to the other three playable factions (in terms of tech advancement, skill curve, etc...), HOWEVER, it is not impossible to overcome such adversities. In particular, unit preservation and commander selection, is paramount to succeeding throughout the overall duration of the match. Hopefully, if anybody needs any ideas to combat early-game Allied superiority, this replay can provide some humble pointers. Please let me know what you folks think!
