qouting youself crying about someone crying and thinking it makes some kind of relevant point. Spoken like a true Soviet Fangirl.


The argument that a t34 is useless vs tiger without ram maybe true, but so is a stug vs an is2 or 152. T34s shouldnt just be able to negate your biggest most expensive tanks right out of the gate.One of my fav tactics is stealing abandoned t34s and then ramming sov heavies and finish it with Tigers. It always feel unfair doing it, but Sovs can do it with out relying on lucky t34 finds.

I want more commanders because the current German ones are borefests. Forget a tiger ace, just give me a puma and some sturmtruppen and Ill be a happy camper.

By far the best doc for Sovs is Shocks,Inc barrage, kv8s and IS2s. That doc has everything you need in itself.

It is hard to choose any German docs. None , barring the forgone Tiger Ace, has any real punch. The most bang for your buck ones though are assgrens and ostruppen. Being able to call in inf, especially early, can help you ease into your more deadly tiers. The docs I would stay away from as Ostheer is the air ones. They provide you with menial anti infantry and horrible antitank capability and only really useful if you dont depend on doc abilities.

Let me provided clarity. "(infinite armor putting fire to all infantry (killing too fast), and spam artillery Zis 76 (3,4,+) to take my tank's... )"

He is mentioning conscript, shock spam to kv8s.

KV8s can come in and kill and run home due to being able to withstand damage from everything lighter than a panther. Even 3 pak guns are no match for 1 kv8. Even when you manage to spend a ton of resources to kill one, another one and is2 comes, if you are not over-matching Sovs using this strat with tanks you are done Son.

Let' say you have 3 at guns in good positions. Kv8 rushes in , burns 2, drops inc arty on any other threats. Vs a competent player who uses this doc, you cannot fight this strat very well with anything other than armor.

He is also saying that it is hard to fight on equal terms because due to the heavy armor, it can limp home into a shield of waiting zis guns, and if you have tanks and paks, your paks get negated by inc barrage, while your tank slowly chips away at the kv8 and unable to fight it and evade zis guns. Also the zis guns can turn into arty vs the paks/shreks while paks are unable to respond.

Lately I mostly see this strat. What makes it ten times more difficult to fight is pfausts have a very low chance of causing engine damage to it, and if it is aiming at your grens while trying to fausts, grens will be dead before it even launches.

Personally I am mot happy about the kv8 being hard to kill, plus a having the ability to kill so quickly. Im not a big fan of nerfs so Im not even going to go there, but the paks need to be more effective vs it, they seem to have insanely low penetration vs kv8"s.

Shocks inc barrage, Kv8s and IS2s make this one hell of a doc to fight against.

I dont like ram, but can live with it if it was a vet only ability. Why is it a standard ability when the stug has to gain vet to do something similar. This way ppl couldnt just build a cheap quick t34 to ram your tiger removing the ability to fight back vs Sov heavies.

I was a naysayer on this one, but it is well balanced and useful without being cheap.

Most important of all the abilities are cheap enough to be used as a strategy. The recon is only one pass, but at 30 mun it fits in just right. The strafe isn't what it used to be, but at 60 mun, I can't complain. I'm not sure if all the same abilities in all other docs were changed or not but relic definitely got it right on these.
