German infantry are inferior, in every respect, to Soviet infantry.

Unless we speak of doctrinal abilities, german infantry need to stay at a distance to fight properly. The gren riflegrenade is too situational and very random (you need their guys to be perfectly bunched and static).

The light mg42 needs to be stationary to fire. Big, big drawback, especially early game.

PzGrens are decent, but are raped 2 out of 3 times by shock troops. I've seen the shock troop frag do more damage than the bundled grenade, not sure if actually true. Shock troops may be doctrinal, but hey: the soviet doctrines worth getting have them. Shrek's are deadly: but for 120 munis, they are NOT worth it. The last thing you want is a shock trooper squad with a shrek.

I like the fact that the game is slower, but I could hardly feel the upkeep at all, I almost never feel short on manpower. I dislike the current system based solely on population, simply because CoH is not about numbers, but army composition. Reducing the pop count for many units does not help.

GTX 660ti working like a charm on COH2 with the highest settings. With the lastest Nvidia drivers that is.

Maxims need that quick setup time since their firing cone is horrible. MG42s hardly need to be microed compared to a Maxim since they can basically shoot over almost 180 degrees. If you lose to a Maxim, your opponent just microed his units better than you. All you need are two squads, that aren't blobbed up.

T34s is hardly a problem, in a minute after a T34 you should be able to get a Stug, which can easily counter it if you let it stay at range and use your panzerfaust. A T34 with a broken engine is a dead T34.

You should really try playing as Soviets, see how easy it is, before you're going to post stuff like this.
