Guards are decent infantry late game if you vet them up and upgrade to the dpmg. So thats not the worst doctrine since it helps the infantry. For me I feel german commanders arent as useful (besides the one with opel) and I find myself not even choosng a commander at times. The late game tanks are really expensive and by the time I get them out the game is basically won. The tiger isnt the beast it was in vcoh so I learned that when it does come onto the field you need to protect it a lot. Never got an elephant out... |

^^ agreed. Strafe needs balance but sovs also need better AA |
|
The problem isnt the t70, the problem is that its variable counter (the pak) completely sucks. I have predicated t70 games and had a counter rdy a minute or so before a t70 came out. Problem is the pak misses more than it should and gets destroyed.. then the t70 can run a muck and it takes some real difficult play to get that btch off the field, thats not before you lose a good portion of the map. |

The mg42 packing time is fine da fuq you talking about? Otherwise I agree even though I did feel the soviet off map mortar was ridiculously strong and hard to kill. Patch is decent enough. We will see a very good next patch with strafes and opels nerfed along with some soviet issues. |

^^^^ everytime I plan an attack on an su85 or multipe su85s the results are horrendous. I use combined arms all the time and bring my pgrnsz with shrecks, grens, at, and tanks. Just as an example a couple games ago I managed a tiger and a p4 wth some inf squads an mg and a pak in an attack against entrenched sovs. He had 3 su85s and infantryy.. I attacked with some units flanking and p4 flanking also with tiger coming head on. Well... lets say my tiger barely got a chance to do dmg before it exploded in fiery glory. He lost 2 su85s while my entire attacking force was decimated. Luckily the loss of 2 su85s was more than he could bear and he quit (thank god). Point being that even well coordinated attacks on su85s is still damn difficult. You better believe you will come out of that battle bruised and barely able to function. |

While leaderboards are nice. I do agree with the poster who mentioned the ability to run coh2 on computers. I bought a pc for coh2 and the upcoming rome total war. I bought an alienware x51 (not really high end but still good) and my auto detect settingss are set on "minimal" besides physics.... this makes me.....angry...besides the other crap relic has bumbled... |

I just noticed this yesterday and it nearly cost me the match. (I lost but it was from bad micro lol). Anyway my panther was attacking an su85 but its turret kept aimi g at infantry in the building!!!! Lukily it came to its senses once I got direct control of the unit. But I almost lost it! And it lost a lot more health then it needed to. |

^^^^lost all credibility gg thanks for showing. |

Guards are decent AT INF with the magical button ability. Then just bring your zis, t34, or su85, and cons to disable vehicles and say goodbye to german armor. And comparing ostwind and t70 lol.. thats fail. When is the last time you saw an ostwind when there is the p4 option... no decent german player gets that unless the gMe is already won. They rather opt for the p4 with good AT and AI. |

Im my numerous experiencez as an ost player, Its obvious when a t70 is coming out into the field. He has cons with upgrades but gets no other fuel consuming units and fights tooth and nail for fuel points. If he gets one for a brief period you better believe those t70s and t34\85s are coming. However a few games I did catch on to this and my problem was not having an effective counter, but that counter being completely USELESS!!!!!! It may just be my bad luck but I positioned a pak40 in a perfect ambush but it must have missed that little bastard 3-4 times!! When I finally blew it up (with the help of a fauzt) he alrdy killed an mg42 unit and numerous infantry thst were neeeded in the crucial battle. This in turn allowed his infantry to storm my pak... and his second t70 came out with no effective counter...
Guys I dont gripe much but the pak40 sucks!!!!! The damage output, its accuracy, its range... when your counters to tanks when you lose fuel is more than useless how csn you effectively come back??? I just dont understand this balance issue. Its not even that I have a problem with t70s, its just that there isnt a very good option besides the obvious when you are behind. If a soviet has map control, I'm basically done.. if I have map control (myself as a player not lumpng all germn players into a category), it seems the sovs csn still easily come back and regain what they lost. Then I am back to where I started or worse. |
