I'm not German either, I just studied it at uni. I still feel my skin crawl when the ost units speak. Even if you ignore the poor pronounciation, you can still hear how they sound like old men or comedy-stereotypes. I wouldn't mind a stereotype if it had a stronger sound.
If you're slavic, what do you think about the Russian voices? I moved to Russia 8 years ago, speak Russian fluently and know how Russians speak English and how awesome they can sound. The voices in CoH2 don't come close to that.
I hated stereotypical voices when I jumped into coh1 wagon, when transitioned to coh2 it wasn't that much an issue
Not Russian, but still soviets being my favorite faction lmao, in my humble opinion the pronunciation (mostly accent, but also including smaller mistakes like those I pointed out before) is mostly really horrible, it's really easy to see that both VA and writers weren't Russian (or, if some of them were, good for them). The accent on 'r', the stereotypical trait of Slavic languages is seen (dat halftrack driver) but, really, I have no more words other than stereotype. Like it's the only word I know
Anyway the familiarity of words spoken by soldiers makes me forget about those issues really quick, same with German lines as I've been learning German for some time
