Strong russian starts right now are conscript spam with "Hit the Dirt" and the PPSh upgrade, or 2 Cons into Trucks w flamers on board, or quick shock troops with Snipers. If your opponent skipped T1 and is going straight for a flame HT, you'll have to rush an ATG or a T70 to stop him. | ||

Mortars are awesome, not as actually dealing damage, but simply moving them around and shelling possible camping spots for grens and mgs whenever you can is an awesome manpower drain on the wehr. In early-mid they can really fuck-up the wehr chokepoints he places on the maps, killing any potential bunkers and forcing his mgs to relocate. Either way I love the various soviet openings as they are really diverse, for example in my BO I never even touch specialized infantry hq. Btw does the PzG BO really work...? I have never had any trouble at all dealing with PzG rushes as soviet, but maybe I've just met bad players doing this.. | ||

I should have articulated my point better. What I meant to say was in general, the average T-34 in the field in WWII normally had production flaws and less skilled crew, so in general they had disadvantages against the well trained German army. The T-34 was a better designed tank at the time, but as you stated, the Russian production has a number of holes and supply problems. Hell, in Stalingrad, they would roll them out of the factory without sights and just tell the crew to aim with the barrel. But back to the topic at hand. How do man operated anti tank guns fair against German armor? Tanks vs tanks is neat to watch, but I always had better luck with anti-tank guns in CoH1. Are they still awesome or do they just get messed up by infantry before they ever get a shot off. Antitank guns are powerful, but the soviet AT has a very tiny firing arc making them very hard to use. What they lack in coverage they make up for in range though. | ||

The only time I'd advocate getting 2 mortars would be if he goes heavy on grens and mgs early on, but having 1 mortar makes you very flexible.

I have never had any trouble at all dealing with PzG rushes as soviet, but maybe I've just met bad players doing this.. PzG timings wipe out everything you can field except MGs+Sniper support, which a Russian player rarely if ever builds. The second 2 PzGs hit the map, your Conscript squads have to basically autoretreat every single time they engage a PzG squad unless you want to lose like 2-3 models instantly. PzG + Tank Support especially is basically impossible to fight against late game, especially if the PzG squads get up to Vet 3. They eat every other unit in the game alive except for Vet 3 Shock Troopers, and if there's a Panther or a P4 behind the PzGs, gl winning. | ||

It doesn't give you experience if you lose. so you leave the game open and walk away whenever you get behind otherwise no exp. There is no way to speed up unit movement. I hope that it doesn't become an esport. I hear that they won't even be supporting the game after release. I have absolutely no idea why you like this game so much. please clarify on what you like better about it? | ||

I'm really enjoying it from the little i've played, it's a slow burner but WW2 makes a refreshing change from Starcraft 2. I like... -Mortars -WW2 stuff -Win Conditions -Looks pretty -Snow element -Caping abandoned tanks -Creating kill zones -Mines -Flaming stuff -Tactical decisions that go right etc | ||
