Ouch. Awesome!

In its core its an allied circlejerk. But in the end I am not wondering. hours of competitive cups et cetara have been proving that soviets is by far the most versatile faction with the most oomph. Yet people try to claim otherwise. And for 2v2 I've found this on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/CompanyOfHeroes/comments/35sz0f/i_have_watched_1000_2v2_games_since_the_newest/

I think 1000 is a samplesize quite big enough to show a tendency for at least 2v2 matchups. 3v3 and 4v4 is FUBAR. It was before and will be forever. It is not balancable, not with 4 factions and the amount of doctrines for OH and SU.

Hi,

[DISCLAIMER:] Input to get better would be greatly appreciated since we are only rank 2000 in 2v2.
We are usually not such a kind of trashtalkers like in this replay, I appologize in advance. I usually limit myself to a "gg wp" but this particular round really lost me

so this game developed pretty nice. We were pushed back into base early on due to my mate being doubled on his side and then me being doubled. We were in dire need of fuel since we, early on, held no fuel.
After some time I was able to get out a Jagdpanzer IV to fend of tanks. We were able to slowly crawl back into the map. centimeter by centimeter we grabbed territory and tried not to give in to the rather great tide of shocks, rifles and machine guns.

It apexed in a serious tank battle where the Wehrmacht (and in that regard I mean the OKW aswell) were able to put a serious dent to the enemies IS-2's and Jacksons.

The aftermath is the following:

• 1 Jagdpanzer lost
  
• 3 Ostwinds lost
  
• In exchange for
  
• 4 IS-2s destroyed
  
• 5 Jacksons destroyed
  
• a non counted number of Shermans destroyed (although I think it were 2)
  
• rage harvested

was a fekking awesome match which made me realize how much I can enjoy coh2 despite its flaws. The relief you feel when winning against the odds, when comming back from a dire situation, outplaying your opponent or the other way round the kinda sadness after a round lost or losing a close "VP-fight" is what I love about CoH2.

best wishes Steiner aka Sturmalex

was a gg.

Arent all short range units hard to use except shocks? How about Sturmpioniere, Panzergrenadiere? The only saving grace for tehm is is the ability to repair/wield panzerschreck if shit hits the fan.
Give every short range unit smoke grenades and 1.3 armour and we are fine.
