Thread: Soviets are way tough?19 Sep 2018, 11:06 AM So I played another one last night against Soviets, and and instead of going VP I went annihilation and was very aggressive in boxing him into his town. It was trivial and the game was quickly over. He never produced a vehicle save for a couple of scout cars and a SU-76. I usually play attrition/vp and once I have all three VPs and both the fuel points I'd kind of sit and wait which obviously didn't work out very well for me. I even captured his Zis gun as he advanced it unsupported. So I guess the key with the soviets is to just be aggressive. In: COH2 Balance

So yes, they are hard to fight. How to fight them is too much to write down - I suggest watching popular YouTube commentators casting replays of high level games. Best channels are: AECoH, Stormless, Tightrope, GeneralsGentlemen and The Propagandacast. For example, you'll see the top players escorting their vehicles with infantry or support weapons as much as possible so enemy infantry doesn't get a chance to get close enough to throw AT grenades. I'm probably not aggressive enough against the CPU. I should probably work on boxing him into his town. There mortar sucks and their MG isn't great either, but the Penals more than make up for it.

The OKW does not have a mortar, though I generally end up stealing theirs. The field gun does help though as it doesn't seem to be dangerous enough to decrew a six man squad in my experience.

Thread: Soviets are way tough?18 Sep 2018, 18:23 PM Like I said I play all the factions, just not the brits. Playing as Soviets is almost too easy though. Nobody has anything that can deal with that early T70 usually, and the Penals just rape the infantry. Makes denying the fuel points a joke for the most part. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets are way tough?18 Sep 2018, 17:59 PM I play mostly with my buddy co-op. I play all the factions save for the Brits, but usually prefer OKW. Toss me in any random map vs a computer opponent on hard and I generally win, except for the Soviets. The penals blow up the building my machingunners are in early with satchel charges, assuring them map control. Later the cheaper than dirt conscripts disable my very expensive vehicles with their anti-tank grenades. Don't even get me started on the Zis gun and how hard it is to decrew. I've tried it many times, but am unable to solve the Soviet puzzle. Is it just me? In: COH2 Balance
