No offence but I think people think they have a much better understanding of when people have drop-hacked them than they do. I have a ridiculous ton of disputes from having been on a low-end ATI graphics card with a crappy ISP until recently - no doubt some of those games I droppped at a moment when the opponent had just started winning. For them to be able to just report that on suspicion (and some people will get suspicious of anything) and get someone's account banned is far worse than a few people having inflated stats.

Now, in COH 1 I saw some clear drop-hacking that basically froze the game for myself and my friend. I've not seen any obvious incident of that in COH 2. I completely understand why Relic would be reticent to ban people if they don't have complete certainty - because they'd end up banning a load of unrelated people to satisfy people who are overly paranoid about drop hacking.

Replays don't display in-game chat. I've no idea if they save it.

Wermacht is more stronger in 3v3 and 4v4. Try play it.

I have played a little of both, though I'm mostly a 1v1/2v2 player. I think Ostheer is better if you don't have an arranged team because you don't really need to support each other as much/pick complimentary tech. If you actually have some communication going on it's fine.

its random game. so i dont know this people. so problem with all game more that 1*1. and if u have t34-85 - its sucks armor. all soviet have sucks armor. problem in thi game. that german have q3 rocket lunchers. soviet havent anything that its rocket. why? some grenade cant destroy german tanks! pgens have 2 rocket lunchers frooom looonnng range and they have powefull grenade. germans have all - soviet havent it. isu to manu coast - weak. is-2 - omg its sucks. kv -1 good for panzer - weak for anothers. why i cant see isu -122 in game - its good antitank. why su-85 cant by su-100 with vet stars that pz 4 ?

You post a replay where your team plays badly as evidence of balance, then you claim it's all the other games with all the other things you don't even see in this game that are evidence of imbalance. There are some overpowered things in the game right now and you haven't mentioned *ANY* of them.

T-34/85 sucks, yes. Everyone knows that.

In terms of things that are good against tanks... T-34s have ram, which is a better than 50% chance of disabling a tank other than an elephant and guaranteed to disable a P-IV. The SU-85 is still easily the best tank destroyer for cost in the game if you support it properly and know how to use the reverse function, attack ground etc. etc. Doctrinally you also get guards, mark vehicle and vehicle self-repair. You have much cheaper mines, as well, which are chronically underused by Soviet players at the moment.

P-gren grenade is actually slightly worse than the guard grenade and against bigger squads. You are aware that the panzershrek has a *smaller* range (35) than the T-70 (40), for instance?

Personally I don't want more redundant immobile tank destroyers in the game because I like asymmetric balance. No doubt at some point the marketing people in relic will suggest 'wouldn't it be great if we introduced a tank destroyer slightly bigger than the elefant in the exact same role as paid DLC without showing it to the balance team before release' and it will happen but y'know.

It sounds like you just complain about the faction balance being messed up by a different thing every time you lose when the real deal is normally going to be that your team got outplayed. Some of your complaints make no sense at all, a lot are based on just not using units properly and a lot on not cooperating properly as a team. If you focused on finding a regular team and on working out how to use your units in conjunction better rather than raging on the forums every time you lose as Soviets you'd probably be having more success with the game.

Was just watching a replay and noticed that the KV-1 (440mp, 120 fuel) has a pop cost of 9, while a T-34 (280mp, 85 fuel) has a pop cost of 10. Is this a bug?

Personally I think in early game it's basically even.

The only real decider without vet 2 or lmgs or something is that because grenade warnings are bugged and riflenades do much more upfront damage and are harder to predict than a molotov, it takes much better unit awareness for the Soviet player. I think just fixing the riflenade warning would actually be a big net improvement for the balance.
