perhaps penals and t1 in general is meant to be used withsoviet defence and urban commander which gives you a stopgap at unit and other substitutes for mg and mortar untill you can advance into more specialised units |
the biggest problem with soviets was/is the waiting untill a superheavy comes , if someone ddnt know a thing about ww2 he d think that the mbt was the is2 instead of the t34 . As for the thematic failure i tink its not that bad although it would mke for pretty poor balance if relic tried to apply the analogy of troops and equipmentin 44 to their game . In fact i think they did a decent job , soviets do tend to have a bigger army than the germans and they do have lots of indirect fire for barrages which afaik was a thing in the eastern front . The 2 units i think are not authentcally represented are t34s and conscripts , they needed to be more numerous and more effective . I mean its just not possible for anyone to think eastern front without the ubiquitus t34 and yet it hardly ever appears on the coh2 battlefield |
srsly people you didnt vote for armored fist and hellstorm ?? plebs ... |
pgs are more than fine , if anything they should give the schreck the same scatter or damage as the zook and make it cost a bit less

As the title says SCHRECKBLOBS rek too much shit for their vallue and early accessibility meanwhile all too often a superior force of medium tanks (shermans cromwells t34s) as far as resources spent for their creation is forced to flee with their tails between their legs when confronted by a team of schrecked pgrens or volks grens because the tanks are too unreliable at their shooting even with the top gunner . Do you agree with the statement and if you do are you satisfied with it ? |
its been said a million times and its the correct thing to do but relic are very stubborn in accepting mistakes ...

I ve managed to make this unit work only once when i bombarded my opponents flaks with WP and then GTAed him Kappa but its autobarrage is worse than awful , the damn thing has negative accuracy or infinite scatter |
Cruzz Kappa

i think stug should get a minor buff but not a lot because its almost at the point where it should be , perhaps some more health and a little bit better mobility but nothing else |
late game blobs are definitely better for ostheer as grens scale much better than rifles with the possible exception of 1919 blob , but again ost has g43s as well , but ostheer has the mg42 and the reliable mortar and the mht to weaken this blob for the grens to mop up , add to this that axis tanks and paks are simply better than the american ones and you have parity on infantry and superiority on armor in the late game and that is without mentioning the strafing run and the whole mechanised assault commander . That means that your combined arms are stronger and with a manpower hungry faction like usf that means trouble .
Now if you are talking about the early game you need to learn to place your mgs properly .
BTW spamming infantry isnt blobbing , if your opponent flanks you well he should take the fight |
