sorry for using this topic but.. anyone know when open beta starts? i know closed beta ends today but will have no chance to play today

gg for both of us , well played, fast game

Congratulations to DevM, i watched his replays since vcoh and he plays very good! just now i am seeing he is from my country lol..
Parabens DevM eheh viva a tuga xD

i dont have all in my mind but if you choose to build shock troops or guards, you are limited in the commander abilites you have further in the game, because one doctrine gives access to guards and another shock troops, so maybe its not the best way to look at things like, do i need guards or shock troops?

for example the game i talked about yesterday could have resulted in a win for my side, just because there is a ability to offmap arty and with the commander i have chosen yesterday i didnt have any offmap arty, and man, that would be very very useful to deal with the infantry german blob (this map have some bridge chokepoints and great part of the battle is focused there).

i have been watching replays from expert coh players, like devm, inverse, and such, RnP and Krebs shotcast and even them make mistakes like idle units, losing all squad due to not reatreat, etc). I have a feeling that the UI is a little messy, sometimes i cant even see my units on the screen and they are in my front lol, intense battles tend to confuse me a lot, in vCOH i didnt had this feeling at all, it was all fresh and clean.

A question: how do you unlock ISU-152? i havent seen it in any commander. Is it from a new commander for high ranked players?

Hi guys! i am really enjoying playing coh2 closed beta, its a fun game (i played vCOH too for a long time), but yesterday i was in a 2vs2 on russians side, the map was pripyat river spring, we have made a good early and mid-game, holding lots of territory and 2 or 3 vps all the time.

i thought that battle was impossible to lose but in like the 10 last minutes of the battle the germans owned us badly without chance to response(tanks, lots of inf and arty), they had just 50 vps and we had 400 or more, and in the end they hold all vps and won.

I used a 4 to 5 conscript build, followed by a support weapons kampaeya, making mgs and mortars. then i made a t70 light tank which last till the end of the game with 27 kills, made t34, some ats.. the normal i guess.

then i teched to mechanized armor and made su85 td, but in the last 10 to 15 minutes of the game i was a bit lost, in the need of some strong infantry and in desperation i made shock troops and lots of flame engineers, needless to say we good owned too lol.

i admit i made some mistakes mainly because i dont know that well yet the ins and outs of russians commanders and their abilities. what do you guys suggest to a late game strong anti infantry? my late game with soviets just seem to suck badly, i dont have a good tactic yet..

hope you can help me
thanks
