The AoE effect of IS-2 is one of the biggest AoE effects of all heavies (barring the ISU). Of course, you don't get to see that this often because the IS-2 will overshoot by 50% of its scatter area.

If you feel like sniping infantry/weapon-teams/snipers with the IS-2 you should be prepared to use attack ground:
- Find a nice flat area (elevation and other things might mess up with targeting)
- Locate your target
- Now, displace your pointer by 4-6 infantry models closer to IS-2 (so that you under-aim)
- Hit attack ground on the target location and enjoy the fireworks

Bonus tip:
- If the enemy is standing IN FRONT of a shotblocker (e.g. wall), aim for the shotblocker instead; the AoE will decimate the infantry.

Enjoy!

PS: The same also applies to T34's if you want to make their performance a bit more bearable (their AoE is much smaller though)

I think that this map is congested enough for 2vs2's; let alone 3vs3's. The FRPs only add to the problem (by clogging up paths and reducing flanking opportunities).

Watching the 2x OKW and 2x USF battle it out in the south for the first 10 mins was like watching excerpts from The Great Battle of the Blobs. (a bit boring )

Since I presume you were playing the Allies (not sure which guy, though), I would adapt my strategy as follows:
- Try to mix a Brit with the USF player, so that you have a suppression platform on each "lane"
- Otherwise, one of the USF players should tech to lieutenant (the 50cal is really really good nowadays; if you can live with Vickers, the 50cal is a breeze)
- Giving PIATs would have helped take take out that Schwerer truck faster
- Giving PIATs to ONE commando squad and sneaking it up would have helped take out that annoying Panzerwerfer
- No matter how much you would adapt though, nothing would help you vs CP + CT aura stacking + elephant/JT. Your CalliOP is the only ticket to dealing with that.

Also, I don't understand why people insist on building (and upgrading!!) Tommies on such congested maps. Tommies are nothing more than overpriced artillery fodder for attrition matches.

Giving those double Brens to the Airlanding officer would have gone a loooong way better. The airlanding officer gets the commando version of the Bren, and now becomes a very combat-capable unit (try it once and activate the charge bonus; you will see).

That's very likely the squad formation at play. All squads "suffer" from this when you try to change the squad orientation, when some members have lagged behind. Unless you have experienced something else (again, with a duration of 5+ seconds), I am removing this from the bug list.

Hm I am testing a bit more with camo and when sprint kick in...rather difficult to tell...

It seem to me it start when attack order is given or it no connected to firing at all (some times when cloaked they move holding their gun from the front in one hand indicating they sprint) but does not apply to the whole squad only to members is cover...

Might be mistaken if it start from first shot...still imo it does not really hinder the use commandos...

Those are all good finds. I am adding them to the OP under 1.5.

Stealth will allow you to close-in on your enemy without much risk anyway; you don't need sprint for that.

However, the moment you open fire, the enemy can easily nullify your ambush by hitting the retreat button. In this case, what do you do?
- If you stay stationary, you can benefit from the 50% accuracy bonus. However, that doesn't mean much if the enemy can run out of your optimal shooting range within 0.5 secs
- If you decide to chase the retreating squad your commandos will not be able to fire on the move (because they are sprinting; and they can't fire while sprinting)
- All you are left with is a 350/500MP squad that can deal no damage.

This is why I have been avoiding the sprint "buff" like the plague, and that's why I called it a double-edged sword in my previous post.

Yes, I acknowledge that sprint is situationally useful. However, most of the issues I have had with the squad is wiping retreating enemies rather than sneaking the squad in, in the first place.

Now, once the accuracy bonus gets fixed, I might reconsider my opinion on sprint.
