Actually, all three commanders are free and available in the standard CoH2 game, not sure why you would have problems finding them...
The guide is to some degree a bit dated (when it comes to commander discussions), but in particular Guard Motor Coordinator as well as Shock Rifle Frontline are still really solid choices and among the most commonly used SOV commanders in recent tournaments.
Thanks for such a practical guide. I play Soviet, however the commanders recommended here are not available as a free option or in the store. Are they gone for good? Are there any other commanders that anyone would recommend for Low to Mid range players?
Awesome. I figured there were several factors that went into attaining veterancy, and this makes it clearer now. I want to keep these concepts in mind as I'm experimenting with different units build orders. Thanks everyone for your input!
What actions specifically lead to ranking up in veterancy? Is it just a matter of killing other units? I've heard that it can vary depending on the unit so I don't know if it's task oriented (for example do engineer class units get some veterancy points by building things while the combat units get veterancy points for killing models)? Also do you have to kill the entire enemy unit to get points toward veterancy or will killing individual models count toward it.
I've checked out the Veterancy Guide which is very helpful in the bonuses that come with Veterancy, but trying to get a better idea of ways to accumulate veterancy efficiently and looking for any resources on this. Thanks in advance!
