If you played in Alpha then you know better, buy it or not, but if you didn't take part in alpha then I suggest you to wait like 1 week after release and watch some streams to get know these two new factions

Don't worry everyone, Relic's been making progress, just look at the amount of views this interview has gotten over the last few days!


I should also add this video was so exciting, I could barely move, literally, the hype was just shooting out of me. Best part was the beginning where they were talking about what they ate for breakfast. Those doughnuts aren't going to eat themselves.

I hope they love soups!!

M3 is far more OP, it has better gun, better penetration, comes earlier, can garrison one squad inside the M3 and it's cheaper, 221 is only good when it's fighting conscripts with no nades.

but OMGPOP, who is also an arguably one of the best players, said
"Using M3s well can indeed result in some spectacularly swift victories, but for me they are really the best out of a group of bad options.

It all comes down to the fact that Germans have a much stronger infantry composition than the Soviets. MP for MP, LMG Grenadiers will thrash conscripts (you don't even need LMG for this fight) and beat DP guards by a moderate margin. MG42 and Pak40 are miles and miles ahead of the Maxim and ZIS-3 gun. 251 Half Track is available early in the game, as battle goes on and squads lose men, damage exchange steadily favor the Germans as they can reinforce on the field."

It's hard to play against m3 strat because Germans are bleeding MP so badly that they can't do much unless they are lucky, while M3 can be repaired fast with engies, Germans must build medic bunker to keep their units fully health and even tho, one man costs them 30 MP, and usually M3 scores a lot of kills. One faust isn't enough to deal with m3's because some genius at Relic decided to increase their armour so now it takes ages to kill M3, let's sum up this all things:
- Germans will spend munitions to faust M3's with bad results (they will just fall back for repairs)
- they can't have good map control cuz of less mobility and bigger casualties than on soviet side
- only Pak40 is suitable to counter M3's but by this time, game is usually over because of huge MP bleed, and soviets at this point of game have huge map control, and probably, some tank on the way (in times where you barely get one Pak40 to deal with shitty M3's....)
- 222 is useless because it costs much muni which you don't have (you spend all on fausts) and M3 0.50 cal kills it fast
- Germans are screwed when good soviet player uses that strategy and practised many games with it

Just a short note to express gratitude to AmiPolizeiFunk.

You and your colleagues/friends have spent a lot of personal time and effort into creating this community. It's the best CoH site and more importantly provides us with ladders

When I was still learning the first CoH, I had a 1v1 automatch with you, lost and thereafter asked for advice. I expected some friendly comments in the chat box; however, you got me into teamspeak or some other program, talked me through a replay of the game and pointed out where to improve. Specifically, I remember you pointed out how to do sequential "Shift" commands -- that was invaluable.

Just want to thank you for being that sort of person and devoting so much time to the community.

Ami is apparently a pussy, I'd recommend you to play tutorial <love soup>
