To wipe a soviet mortar crew, the ostheer mortar has to 1. Get in range, which is much shorter than the 82mm and 120mm, 2. Kill 5 whole members from auto firing because the german barrage has large scatter, and 3. Avoid losing 3 men to the longer range, better barrage, and higher aoe soviet mortar

Infantry accompanied tanks in chechnya. It's actually very good example of importance of troop training and employing right tactics.

It's a case of commander blobbing fresh units and ordering attack on defensive position occupied by vet troops.

Even in COH he would be called Noob and told to L2P

P.S. those tanks are still formidable weapons and not thrown away like you imagine.

You see in the good old days when you just pressed R there were consequences. You lost map control, you struggled to get it back, you lost pop cap and you slowed down tech.

None of that matters in COH2 - but its still better to have infantry battles that progress in a more linear fashion than an on/off switch live or die. In my opinion that is

Rofl.

I've been complaining about Ostheer squads getting 1-shot for the past year and a half. This isn't a new issue. But guess what. So far we've more or less removed that capability from grenades (unless you screw up and don't stick in green cover - or fail to dodge them), we've limited the ability for most tanks to 1-shot squads (go back and look at the old KV8, IS2, ISU), mines don't 1 shot as much as they used to, even the Katyusha/Werfer (especially the werfer) aren't as gimmicky as they once were. And hell, at least you can play around the Katyusha a lot more than you used to be able to. Oh and the Stuka has been nerfed compared to what it was.

This thread is about continuing to improve the game in a constructive manner. I care about this game and its future, not some goofy ladder losses. So unless you think that having your squads get 1 shot is good, skillful and fun game play - please get over yourself and realize what we're actually trying to do here.

@Fridod - bombing runs and off-maps are totally different. All of those things inherently have counter-play because they drop a giant flare where they're going to be. If the B4 did the same thing, I'd have no problem with it. (They also almost exclusively require LoS on the target). If you fail to move out of the huge flare, you deserve to lose some stuff.
