Profile of Detrimus

• Overall it's a very competent tank. You just have to use it carefully. If you can faust an SU85 and get a decent flank on it, the Stug can technically dispatch it quicker than the PIV can.

The reversing SU-85 is faster than a P-IV and also has much longer range, so I'm not really sure this is a likely scenario given good Soviet management. I'd kind of like this since it promotes combined arms unless the SU-85 is at range like it should be.

The camo'd MG is indeed hilarious when executed correctly, if quite a bit situational. I posted this in another thread, but I never pick Jaeger Infantry because simply put it's too muni heavy in an already muni heavy faction. Every single ability costs munitions.

My suggestion for G43 to make it attractive would be that once G43 is unlocked in the doctrine, it becomes a globally researchable thing at the HQ for all grenadiers that costs MP and fuel (think bars). At 2 CP that's enough that it should be competitive without coming too early, and it's far easier to justify the cost.

EDIT: To clarify, G43s don't pack enough punch to warrant both their cost and their impact. Furthermore they lock you into doctrines that aren't particularly useful. All munitions based doctrine means every ability is at the cost of using every other ability. I'd rather stick with LMG42 for the 60 munis and pick another doctrine.

This thread makes no sense - COH2 isn't seeking to replicate the entire Western Front, but individual skirmishes inside larger battles. The numbers game would be a lot less apparent in these situations.

Apart from this, does OP understand the historical context? Yeah the Russians had a massive ground force, but so did the Germans. The armies were of comparable sizes in Operation Barbarosa - it's not as if the German forces were outnumbered 10:1 or anything.
