Try playing soviet and using only call ins. It can be very powerful, but it certainly can lose you games also.
You need to learn the weakness of soviets mid game while they wait, and capitalise on it. Push them back enough and the call ins come too late.
Building T3 and T34 comes much much earlier 9/10 times.
If they go straight to KV8 they zero armour AT, only ZiS.. use this. It can be tricky overcomming a KV8, but they are slow and ZiS are slow.
I much prefer going T3 as soviets, and maybe calling a heavy later on. |
Would be cool if the flak 88 could reliably shoot down an IL2 seen as they are fairly slow.
Incendiary arty would still be nice soft counter, but of course would only decrew it, so could make for some cool battles and tactics.
Would also make howies more useful, which would be a good thing.
We shall see! |
I must really need to L2P, all these Germans moaning imba. All I have done is lose 5 soviet 1v1s in a row, thats a record for me. |
For an ocasional 4v4 its still pretty funny to do KV8 and SU85 spam, backed up with Katushkas (and a KV2 if you can afford one).
Medium tank spam is always going to have trouble as soon there are a few paks around. Unless you were very well backed up by team mates.

I would like to become more involved with the community including tourneys, which would boost my game a bunch.
But I spend most of my evenings with the GF, and work 40% of weekends and the rest Im out mountain biking.
So most of my CoH is done during the day when Im not working. So im pretty much stuck as a casual gamer. |
Ive been thinking about T1+2 soviets quite a bit, giving early aggresiveness, followed by T2 stability.
I know a SC paired with the engie can be really good, Just seems like a lot to build T1 just for one SC?
Also in that build, you dont need the fuel ability or the Dshka.
So may as well do the same with either guard motor, or if you dont need guards, use Armoured Assault.. |
That is just funny how such big gun can't kill inf!
Its about accuracy. You would not be able to swot a fly with a broad sword. Just like you can't hit infantry with a 85mm gun. |
Hmm what is wrong with KV1 durability? Its a heavy call in, with the worst gun on any armour and its slow. Seems fine to me. |
It may just be my bad play style, but I feel it's tricky to go T4 and shermans. I'd rather just spam shermans, but then fuel is a waste, and Dshka is a waste because I go T2.
So for me in 1v1 I may as well just go 34/85s. For 2v2 it's really good with T4. |
I don't see the point discussing 'dream' commanders as it's very easy to make one OP.
I think it's more useful to discuss potentially viable and balanced commanders.
Can't believe nobody has mentioned Guards + KV8. |
