It took a few rifle shots from 2 squads on the move, (not all entities firing), a burst from the bunker and it was near death. All without any anti tank attacks. What saved it was player micro. Turning around the bushes to get cover from fire and then retreating is why it lived.
Wow I love seeing the satchel blow up the penals. Always felt cheated when they threw it then ran right through it untouched while killing 2 to 3 squads of my army. |
Why getting your scout car up close to units armed with MP40's if you don't have to? Stay at at least SOME range and they have no chance whatsoever. The video is silly, use some common sense. Pios are close range units = don't get in close. Dammit. Well from the beginning of coh2 it was used as a iron man flamer suit. That is what was attempted in the video. Now it's an actual early tier unit instead of a t3ish strength unit. I don't think people have had enough time to figure out the meta. |

I laugh when ever I face su76s. I know that I can have my way with it and cost the other side precious fuel. All the drawbacks of an elefant but not of the benefits. I agree that assault guns need a better defined role in coh2 because now they are not earning their keep. |

Im not saying its balanced or not. I dont see too many people adapting to the new mechanics. I cant really tell yet because it seems too early to understand the new meta game. |
Just saw two PPsh Conscript squads getting raped by a G43 Gren squad...balance,riiiiight  ROIDH

This exactly. Currently Soviets are far too Commander dependant, needing specific Commander call ins or upgrades to compete with the Germans by filling up their huge gaps in the counter system that shouldn't even be there in the first place. (KV-1, PPSH/Shocks, IS-2, ISU.) Germans however can 100% play without using a Commander, sure it'll be harder but it's not neccesary because everything on the base faction is more than capable of countering everything the Soviets have, even with Commanders. German commanders can also absolutely hard counter and just smash the Soviets very delicate commander choice. For example if the Soviet goes IS-2 which is needed to compete with Panthers, then the German can go for a Pak 43 and destroy the IS-2. Tigers or Tiger Ace will hard counter KV-1. Any Commander with a one click arty will counter any Howitzer play. Soviets have to be so delicate and careful with their Commander choice because not only is it needed to counter the German core units, but also can just lose the game if you don't pick the right one.
Holy Mother!!!! I m too lazy to read your full post, but I'll believe anybody who takes the time to write a post with that many thoughts and conclusions. |

I just want to chime in on the age old tradition of "you dont play Soviets so you have no idea". Do you guys know its only 2 factions? So even if one plays only one faction unless they have 100 percent win rate, they have an idea of how they got beat and what Sovs can and cant do. Its not like there are 10 factions. It is only 2. And every game is Soviet vs German.
And with that, I like to say Good night and Good riddance to the age old tradition of "you don't understand me" argument. |

Ok i get it now, I was thinking wow the clown car was way too weak or the pios were way too strong now, but now i see the scout car is coh2's version of coh1's jeep. I and many have been used toit being an early kangeroo light. I love what relic is doing to bring back the early game. |

people have always preferred germany so saying more people play germany because of this patch is ludicrous.
I have barely seen any sov players adapt to the new infantry mechanics. They are all so used to just running up to german infantry and dominating. Especially with shocks, they dont bother even thinking about using cover just a head on rush everytime. The few times I have run into people who have adapted, I found it hard just to get rid of ce's. |

Realism? Its not a historical reference document or combat training simulator. Its just a game. Does it really need to be accurate? |
Having a mid game means that soviets can t use "combined arms" anymore?
Soviet buildings cost now 100 fuel more but german buildings cost now only 50 fuel more.I can t understand this Change.
And the tech cost. Not exactly the same but not such a massive cost difference considering mp and fuel plus wait/build time for teching and constructing german buildings. |
