^^ That seems reasonable to me... or else is there a specific unit you could name the West Germans after which broadly fits the time and place? Say nickname it Kampfgruppe Peiper or something... hell just call it a kampfgruppe or something like that... (just random ideas here)

I feel that Soviets could do with non-doctrinal medium to heavy (122mm perhaps...) tubed artillery... slow to reload and less accurate, but it should be there. Soviets just don't do anything better than Germans (particularly in the area of armour and AT options, one of the particularly silly decisions with the Soviet faction) and I think non-doctrinal tubed arty would define the Soviets as a faction for laying down the hurt on enemy infantry and seperating them from their tanks.

Also: cheese tactics.

The M3 needs to go, it's simply silly, I hate using it and when I see a teammate using it, it's really effective, but I feel dirty.

Grenades: Just give us the F1, simple and easy.

Armour: SU-85 needs to be changed, my suggestion would be to make it doctrinal, buff it a bit and place it where the T-34-85 was, it turn, make the T-34-85 non-doctrinal and/or an upgrade. The Soviet AT options needs to able to, with some skill, and non-doctrinally, deal with non-doctrinal German armour when it's reaching critical mass. Something that Soviets IMO simply cannot do because of their limited options (SU-85 or ZiS-3 are just too immobile...)

+1 to Kyle.

I guess I might as share my experiences.

I have used the ISU from the Soviet perspective. I have used the easy win strat. You can sit back and play casually with one hand while drinking a Coca-Cola in the other. It's asinine easy. For example. Just today me and a friend used the super lame sniper spam strategy. Since we were trolling, we ended up with only a 1/3 of the map by mid-game on Semoskiy. So what does my friend do? Gets an ISU-152. Starts instantly wiping squads from across the map. Vet 3 squads, MG crews, you name it.

Don't believe me? I can show you a replay of his ISU shooting through two fucking buildings like some bullshit you'd only see in Hollywood, like The Matrix or curving bullets in Wanted, and still one shot insta-killing a mortar team behind the buildings. At that point I realized how bad I felt for the Ostheer players. I felt like a cheat. Sure, at the time it was trollolol funny. "Hey, mortar behind the house. We need to take it-" *boom* "Out."

Shoots through two buildings. There's no safe place to hide from it as long as SOMETHING has sight for it. It's MG shoots down planes. The problem isn't that its range needs to be addressed or anything like that. Rather, the problem is that it is fundamentally flawed. It causes nearly every other game to be an Elefant vs. ISU fest. Boring. Vet 3 squads that the Ostheer player worked so hard for, and microed well for, and quite frankly deserves are just decimated in one shot, often the first shot, by a unit that takes literally no skill.

The shooting through buildings thing are concrete piercing rounds. IIRC its 60 munis for one shot.

^^ good to see Dane getting in on the action, he's probably seen everything CoH and CoH2 has to offer...

Might sub just so I can learn French Good luck.
