Flakpanzer, eh. I'd rather have a KV-8. I can't drive a Flakpanzer into a field gun and expect victory, let alone be able to do it twice in a row, repairing, then doing it again.

The Flakpanzer to the KV-8 is Assault Grenadiers to Shock Troops. Yes it works, but it's nothing overly fantastic unless the other player has no idea how to deal.

Then you should have seen that one replay with Cruzzi I think where he lost full health KV-8 to a pak in point blank range.

I think more than anything Germans are missing important parts of what makes up an army.

Shock troops and su 85s, kv8s, is152s, is2 that squad wipe, 2 man sniper teams, 6 man support crews. These things mean you are always at a disadvantage until you make an advantage. You cant fight on equal terms with Sovs, due to smaller squads vs largers squads, and German armor not having anywhere near the anti infantry effectiveness of Sov armor(especially considering German armor is already facing larger numbers of inf). The range, sight and accuracy of the su 85s mean you cannot fight it on equal ground as well.

I dont feel Sovs are op but I do feel like germans are gimped. If they would've given coh2 Germans the exact same army and doctrines as coh1, the Germans would have everything they need to fight the Sovs on equal terms or advantageously. But they removed some of the best features of Wehrmacht and left them with gaping holes. Not having a puma meant that t70s got so out of control they had to nerf them. Not having bikes means you have to suicide rush su 85 spammers and they too got nerfed. Not having bikes let the sniper/flamer scout combo get out of control.

The gwagon with its paper thin armor but long range would've been a great match for the su 85. Units that cost no fuel in t4 would've gave other options then just building panther or p4. Having an officer to force retreat shock troops? Shock troop blob vs sturmtruppen? Pumas to protect the flanks of your at guns? Like I stated earlier, I don't think the Sovs are op but ,especially to Coh1 vets, feel incomplete.

I think more then anything Soviets are missing important parts of what makes up an army.

Panzer grenadiers which are great AI or AT, grenadiers with effective none doctrinal LMG upgrade and free of charge pfaust/rnade and none doctrinal panthers, brummbars, early flame halftruck and on field reinforcement, elephants, tigers, varied units in each tier that compliment each other greatly, ability to put up tiers reliably. These things mean you are always at disadvantage until you make an advantage with enforced use of doctrine.
You can not fight on equal terms with Germs, due to much less effective troops, pidgeonholing inflexible tiering system, no upgrades for your units and soviet armor not having anywhere near the anti tank power, mobility or armor of german armor(especially considering soviet armor is often more expensive and less effective facing german armor).
The speed, armor, range and durability of Panther mean you cannot fight it on equal ground as well.

I don't feel germs are op, but I do feel like soviets are gimped. If they would've given coh2 soviets the exact same army and doctrines as coh1, the soviets would have everything they need to fight germs on equal terms or advantageously. But they removed some of the best features of allies and left them with gaping holes. Not having globally upgradable PPSH and normal grenades means that LMG grens were so out of control they had to nerf them. Not having rangers or paratroopers means you have to suicide ram P4s spammers and they had to nerf them. Not having infantry AT means elephant and panther abuse got out of control.

And so on and so forth.

See? I can also be blind on strengths of faction and act like they are crippled infants.

Katitof : do i post any replay in this topik ?

Unshavenbackman: Yes, you are right , i play rendomteamgames and i saw that the gap level between German players and Soviet players is hight... i didn't switch to Soviet Team, i will try next time to see if they are a difference.

Anyway, thank you for your answers really ...

But since you play random team games, it might be more complicated then simply you doing something wrong.

@dpsi
I'm fighting against stupidity and retarded blown out of proportion dreams of overnerfing stuff. It just happens that more people play germans, therefore more retarded ideas come out of them(the trend is: if it kills mein Ubermensch, it needz to be nerfed in the name of ze Fatherland! If it can't kill, its balanced aka penals). Were the proportions different, I'd be called german fanboy.

I'm always up to help struggling players of any factions as long as they are open minded and not locked completely in delusions, like jaigen.

Personally I'd say lower the DPS either by lowering the burst time or the damage, increase the aim time (it's almost instant), and decrease the armour or health so it can't just roll up infront of a StuG, wipe all the supporting infantry, and roll away.

Don't forget to decrease its cost and CPs after that, because it seems to be like you want slow T34 with FHT flamers.

Because the FHT does 10 damage per tick and the KV-8 does 27. Even if both Flamers are attacking the same unit, it's still less than the KV-8. The FHT is also a walk-in-the-park to get rid of compared to the KV-8.

You're comparing T2 stock unit with late game doctrinal heavy AI tank.

How retarded can that be?

That makes as much sense as comparing T-70 to IS-2.
