Tried out the IS-2 today. Its actually pretty decent considering it can take damage for whatever units you put behind it (think Churchill). The HE ability is quite strong too. It feels stronger than ISU-152's normal HE shell at the cost of vet and some muni. Near pinpoint accuracy which is very nice when fighting team weapons not in green cover like AT guns or MGs.

By the time you get an IS-2 out, you should have an AT gun or two. Fighting Panthers and other big cats is really a non-issue because you will almost never go up against them alone. Soviets are a combined arms army after all.

Why anyone would expect relic to do proper soviet campaign anyway?

I mean, even on CoH3 site when they were posting about coh3 story, one of the devs said that back in the day coh team looked at Band of Brothers\Saving Private Ryan for vCoH.

As for CoH2 they looked at Enemy at the gate and works of Solzhenitsyn (who is know on the west and was very anti-soviet dude).

I mean, you shouldn't expect something truth breaking. Most of the western players saw heroic hollywood movies about US\UK, the same way most of the hollywood russians as braindead retards.

I dont really understand why only relic touched the nerve here. Why CoD didnt, especially new modern warfare where russians shown as terrorists (and american war crimes IRL portraired to be made by Russians).

Its like relic are the first who made this. They are amatures in history, just like pretty much 99% of any player base, they recreate what they were shown\teached and what general audience can relate to and understand.
