When playing against Germans with the Tiger Ace, I spend almost all my manpower on Zis guns and try to get 2-4 if possible.

I usually have either SU-85 or IS-2. On rarer occasion, I may have an ISU-152.

I bind the tanks to 1 and the zis guns to 2.

Then I try to track down the Tiger Ace and throw this group of Zis guns at him first. I never use tanks against it first; always Zis. Ideally I have 3 or 4 zis guns pummelling it while my IS-2 (with its good frontal armor and hp), shoots its rear and scoots backward to reload.

Then I try to trap it from the rear with the tanks with long range shoot & scoot shooting.

You forgot to mention thars in Team games obviously where such a thing is possible and beating an Ace isnt an act of gaming brilliance or just plain luck.

I'm guessing it's the nuclear briefcase they carry and throw at you. Then as you run away thinking you are at a safe distance, you die....

Wow you mean the thing that has a three second timer? Let me guess you play Germany almost exclusivley?

Since until the TA i played hundrwds of Soviet games and now i am up too 100s of German games i dont have a problem dodging an explosove that i know is coming with a three second timer. Soft retreat until it explodes. Then you know your clear...


Not a good way to balance. My guess is its just crap cost balance. They just simply should not cost the same.

Shocks are the only unit in the game that doesnt get not just beat but legendarily destroyed by Pgrens. No other infantry kills other infantry as fast as Pgrens. That is a fact.

I think if Penals were as good as Pgrens at AI instead if being hard countered by LMG and G43 just like conscripts you wouldnt see shocks as much.

Pgrens 360 MP beats easily

Scripts 240 MP can take on two at once and quite often even whipe on retreat.

Scripts with PPSH.

360 MP Penals.

360 MP Guards.

Any and all weapon teams on a flank.

On the other hand the Soviet mirror Penals can take support teams and Vanilla Grens only.....


I know rhis is a German Biased forum presently but that doesnt mean that there arent units on thw german side that over perform for cost.

Looking at the official forums, the general consensus is that Soviets are too weak. I see calls for buffs to Su 85s and Isu 152s. Then nerf Elefants, panthers, Tigers and p4s. I saw one that said the scout car was easily capable of handling a Su 85 on it's own..... There may be some tweaks here and there, but it's quite obvious Ostheer will never again be formidable, but only just good enough to keep it's head above water.

And this forum favors Ostheer bias overall. Ost needs tweaks to be sure. But they are hardly as bad as folks on this forum makes them out to be.

The real weakness is their instagibs due to four man squads. But unit for unit they either perform as well for cost and role or perform better.

And for the record the ISU152 does nit perform nearly as welk as one woukd think it shoukd being that it is by far the most expensive unit in game. It needs a price decrease or a buff if relic wants to keep it at the absurd 290 fuel.

I am with greeb. On hiatus until TA is nerfed into the ground. So its likely i wont be returning. Shame i was enjoying COH2.

This is why the IL2 is a problem. There is no escape.

But TBH if you look at resource damage and not just squad whipe the 240 ost is just as bad but inversed. It simply wrecks soviet t5 horribly and is far from bad at killing infantry.
