Please no fire-up in CoH2, it was such a shitty ability. It allows you to just ignore flanking mgs or bunkers and just bum-rush blobs past them. Terrible for gameplay.

I would rather a massive buff to penals damage and survivability, with a corresponding large increase in price, to make them like a stock elite unit. Trade off for no early AT is strong AI, but fewer squads. Would open up a bunch of the commanders with no call-in infantry for use.

In 1944, the Soviets inducted a great number of personnel from the newly liberated territories into the RKKA. Most of these conscripts mentally, physically, or both, had no business being in combat arms (the Germans who had scraped through the bottom of the manpower barrel already had a similar problem) whatsoever and received often merely perfunctory training before being sent into the meatgrinder. This was a conscious decision to sustain the operational momentum during and post Bagration, the merits of which can obviously be debated. However, the notion that Soviet infantry grosso modo enjoyed a tellingly higher standard of training in 1944 than they did ie. in 1941 is actually not just misleading, its false. It was the other way around...mind you, despite having a crushing superiority in numbers, material and increasingly mobility, and despite archieving a telling operational success with the destruction of HG Mitte during Bagration, the Soviets still suffered more than 2.5 times as many casualties throughout 1944 than their much diminuished opponents.

Well, again, CoH 2 is not about history, realism or something like that. Relic said that long time ago, so historical issues are not so important in that. For example, T-34-76 was mostly actuall in 1942-43, after that mainline soviet tank was T-34-85. But... mainline middle in CoH 2 is old 76, not modern 85.

And what's wrong in stereotypes?) Im Russian myself, and I see no problems in using some popular stereotypes in films or games. Those, who protested against "Soviet campaing in CoH 2, nazi Relic, fufufu!" were dumbest idiots. That's a game, it suppoused, also, to make fun and be interesting, and stereotypes may make game really more interesting Even if it is cruel NKVD Officiers, trying to hold order by executions.
