Infantry movement speed - when compared to coh coh2 is like infantry movement, is all done under water. This stops any meaningful manevures in the field and there is less flanking, less cover seeking and less strategic play.

Reaction to orders for tanks and infantry - as above, this is so slow that it stops any meangingul vehicle micro and makes the game painful to watch and play.

Animation sluggishiness/ glitches - overall the snap animations for both inf and vehicles is not there resulting in units getting stuck, things happening in slow time and not allowing truly superior micro to show as every good command order is watered down due to all these factors


P.S Also the infantry retreat speed is too low which allows infantry to die where it really should be able to get away. Not too mention how long it actuall takes them to being retreating and all the horrific pathing issues

First, here, take this, its dangerous to go out there alone:

And second, rank 200 at soviet do not equal rank 200 as germans.
What I mean is, much much more people play germans, therefore to get the same rank as soviets you need to beat much more people. This somewhat changed post patch but still there is a considerable difference between sov and ger playerbases since day 1 pretty much.

This means you most likely need to score better elo then if you'd played as soviets.

If I was to guess, rank 200 as soviets equals rank 400-500 as germans. Top 50 are pretty much equal.
If you think for a minute about it, it will be as clear as sky.

You can't expect equal rank when playerbase for the factions is so unequal.

Every other match I'm experiencing squad wipes to soviet mines. Last match I just played I lost two panzergrenadier squads fresh out of T2 to mines placed on pathways.

This is simply unacceptable relic. 30 munitions to bleed your enemy 340mp? How is this considered fair?

I read only the first page.

The biggest issue with Soviet tanks wasn't down to the raw performance, the engine, the armor, the gun. It was the poor optics, poor vision from within the tank, and terrible layout that made crew communication a nightmare. T-34-85s didn't even get radios as standard equipment until late 1943 iirc.

German anti-tank gun crews reported being able to fire 2-3 shells at a T-34 before the crew was able to react accordingly--this is from Operation Barbarossa, where the PaK 36 was more effective than what it's often credited with. German tank crews could have shells out in reply to Soviet ATG crews after the first or second shot from the ATG, because their vehicles had better optics, vision ports, and above all, a radio for every vehicle and a comms system for every tank.

If the T-34 had had those boons, it would have been a far more effective vehicle. Raw armor/speed/whatever can often lose out to the human element. You can't shoot what you can't see.
