For 1v1s, check out stephennJF. He plays really well against soviet industry, also from what I can see, doesnt risk countering it too soon.
Soviet industry is powerful but can be beaten. You really feel mp drain while playing if you start to lose models even worse squads. Even if you can replace tanks fast, replacing still eats manpower.
Noteworthy, just because you see the sov. industry in the loadout doesnt mean they go for that doctrine. I played 2v2 yesterday where my teammate brought it (I didnt, no point in bringin duplicates). We faced the same opponents on the same map twice. First my friend went for sov industry but they played well and eventually wore us down after 45 mins or so. For the rematch, he didnt go for industry but had the commander still in his loadout. Our opponents must have thought we would go for the same thing again. Because we started seeing paks, upschrecked pgrens etc that have nothing but infantry to shoot at is quite fun as well. That game we won by a big margin 30 min in. Going proactive can be equally dangerous.
Just sayin. As I said earlier check out StephennJF. I am very impressed how he counters sov industry. |
Had great help from the 'in progress' version of this guide. Really awesome. Even if I am not very used to commandprompt, the hard way wasnt all that hard. Very recommended! |
Simple as that eh? Good to know. |
Im not the greatest digging through gamefiles, so I stumbled slightly on this one. Think I found the pak43 range, but still, just to be sure, I would like to know the max range of:
Pak43
Elefant

This also works if you have say 2 guard-squads in a controlgroup. 1 upgraded with DPs, 1 without. If you select both squads the button ability wont show up. So you could press tab to cycle to the squad with DPs. Another example could be a gren-pgren combo. Both in the same group (marked or controlgroup) faces a vehicle of any kind. You want to faust then schreck it to death. However, when both selected you cannot faust since both squads dont have that ability. Just press tab to cycle to the grens. There are alot more uses for this, start testing to see what you can do. |
I think the ability soviet industry could be moved to 1CP. It would still be usefull, but it would delay the rushing of tanks. |
Nah, I think refunds are a good idea actually. As stated above, you invest in time anyways. And say you plant a mine somewhere, you opponent sees you planting it. If you cant cancel the mine, that is more or less muni down the drain, since he will destroy the mine one way or another before moving there. And if you dont finish the build you wont get anything out of it, and building while under fire is a bad idea. |
Actually think that cutoff territories are not flashing bright enough. Sometimes I have to look at the map really long to determine if a zone is cut off or not. In CoH1 I kind of remmeber this was reather easy to see. Cant be bothered to install it again just to check out though, connection to crappy |
Now, this is a fan forum so I guess they would rather have feedback posted on their own site. They have no obligation to post or to be active on this site. I think we all would like them to do it more, but face it, there is no contract that says they have to. Coming with comments like "respond to this relic!" is a good idea, but as we have seen rarely works.
Parts of this community seems to want to drive a wedge in between themselves and relic, which i sad in my eyes. Think about it for a second yourself. If you are called an asshole and a greedy bastard over and over, would you go to that person and ask for advice? Would you feel the need to visit a whole place of ppl who call you names?
Which brings me to my next point. This is a fan forum. I have little or no understanding why alot of users keep posting "I stopped playing this game 3 months ago, it sucks, relic are greedy demons from hell". I do however understand that there are alot of players who are dissapointed of the direction of the game. Some wanted a new coh1, some dont. What makes me wondering is why dissapointed players keep coming back and spreading their hatered here. It is quite obvious if you are posting stuff like that you are not a fan but want the game and relic to crash and burn. I dont like everything relic does. But calling them names is never going to help your/our/any cause.
This is really bad for the community overall. Now I know I cannot make ppl stop posting. And banning them is not an option either, everyone has the right to post. Still, I can really understand if Relic has a grudge against this site and or community. However I dont want them to. I want them to go here and look for ideas, drop a comment here and there in our discussions. However that would require a diffrent tone towards them. Otherwise they just wont look here.
Lastly, the multiplayer community is the smaller portion of their income. But the multiplayer community will also be this games deciding factor in the how long lifespan this game has. |
I would say earlygame, but its quite situational and depends on how infantryheavy you are. Also, sometimes you lose models rather than health. Try to get a hang of if your squad is low health or low membercount. If you got alot of squads fully manned but closing in on on only half health, get medics. You will start to feel the pressure otherwise since you keep retreating your squads more and more often, making them spend more time on the run than doing usefull fighting. |
