Believe it or not, this was an automatch not custom game. We accepted the risk of going 2 Assault Grenadiers commanders to gain advantage at the start of the game, even know that SU-85 and ISU-152 can easy win back the late game, kill our Tiger like toys.

Other team was " better " players than us, in my clanmates opinion.

I guess that the risk was worth it.

I haven't use any Tier 1 in 2vs2 for a long time now, 3 Assault Grenadiers then rush for scout car is the only way for us to counter sniper. Mostly my othermate ( Cmun ) will go for Elephant Commander but in this map we also want to try a little risky ( it's a good map for CQC fight after all )

Shock troops, Guards and Penal everywhere lol.

Lol that's overly harsh

Yeah well what can I say ? I lost my trust under the pile of bullshit by most of the companies.

- COH2 selling OP commander and after that nerf them to shit

- BF4 promised to be kick ass and it was problem all over the place

- Dayz Stand alone is a joke. I mean they could have just bring the normal dayz and make it dayz alpha. waste of 30$ even I know it's just alpha. I thought that Alpha could at least be like the normal dayz mode.

- Tons of Early access game and 50% of them are like Dayz standalone with tons of promise.

Before you read this, I must say that English is not my native Language so there could be grammar mistake, wrong writing in this post. if this post cause you trouble understanding than I say sorry in advance.

Hello, I believe this is my first post ever in our forum expect posting replay. Like all of you, I like Company of Heroes 2 - really I am. I like the way Relic design the Shock Troops, Conscript, Grenadiers or even Panzer Grenadier.

it's just 1 little thing that have always bug me from the very start of this game: Guards and Penal Battalion. I know that most of you have knowledge about them in real life so I will skip the boring explain shit.

My question is: Have it ever bother you guys the way Penal Battalion being design in this game ? Why would Relic give a bunch of " no rank infantry " with good weapon such as SVT-40 ?


In my opinion:

1) Guards infantry should be place in Tier 1, replace all of their Mosin Nagant with SVT-40 and if you upgrade them with " battle pack " , it will give them 2 PRTS + 2 DP-28 LMG. ( I mean if Panzer Grenadier is the main infantry for German in tier 2 that can be upgrade with Panzersherck than Guards should be the same ? )

2) Penal should be something a bit like ostruppen and conscript:

- Received more damage from the enemies than other troop ( Because they wear dark color easier to spot )

- Can do good damage in medium range and only equip with Mosin Nagant ( Penal Battalion should not have SVT-40 )

- Weaker than conscript ( less equip than other troops because they are Penal Battalion )

- Still have the " big bomb " because most of their mission are suicidal anyway.


What is your opinion? I know some of you will say about balance and stuff. No no, let's ignore that part of the game right now ( pretend this game is just single play) , just talk about the design of Penal Battalion.

What does Relic think when they let Penal Batalion being a main infantry unit and give them good weapon when in real life, Penal is just a small number of the Red Army and never got that good weapons.

I know that COH2 Campaign is shit but the way they design Penal Infantry in this game never satisfy me

Who give a shit if some of those tanks never used in combat ? if it japanese made then bring it to the game.

To OP: A very excellent post you made.

This is just my opinion:

Best 2vs2 in big map for German: Spearhead + Jaeger Armour.

Best 2vs2 in small map for German: Assault Grenade + Jaeger

Best 2vs2 for Russian: ISU + whatever the fuck my teammate want I don't care.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The point about ISU is clear so I don't think I need to repeat that.

But also look at the Elephant please: Don't let it upgrade with spotting scope.

I mean holy jesus, upgrade with scope + hold fire => map hack. That thing can freaking see your mom having sex with me in my room jesus.

Think is, with ability to hold fire + scope, sometimes without radio intercept you may not know that Elephant is out on the field, look at you moving your toy tank around and come up with a tactic.

Scope for other tank is fine, but for Elephant that NOW have hold fire is a no no.

Oh btw, do something about the FUCKING PAK43 too. I mean come on you gonna release the " Western army " and you still have that thing shoot through wall ? How many patch have this game come through ?
