Hey blovski I'll try to throw in my 2 cents on how to combat ostruppen, although I am not the greatest sov player.

On building heavy maps get the heavy doctrine mortar, great vs buildings (quick flamer for super early game/molotovs). I have a more general idea on how to combat ostruppen however. Since you know you don't have as much capping power, secure one side of the map as best you can then start being offensive. That means massing your forces around 1 fuel and 1 muni.

If he is getting ostruppen you know he is most likely going fast t2 so either go guard doctrine to combat the scout cars and flamers OR what I do is get at nades and the shock troop doctrine. I want to combat those pgrens best I can, and at nade gives me some defense against t2 germ vehicles. I also build the at gun,mortar, and mg building.

So say I do lose my map control and his tanks are out before mine (which is always the case for me) I can buy time defensively until I get tanks, getting t34 or su85 entirely up to you.

Sometimes I win sometimes I lose, but my outcomes are not based on an OP doctrine. I will agree that increasing cool down on call-in would be nice.

The mechanized assault is balanced well. You are gambling a lot when getting Assgrens considering they significantly slow down getting grens or an mg plus capping power. And early capping power is already hard enough for the Germans. Once I see assgrens I immediately go scout car with flamers, BAM they are useless. Or ill get the crazy awesome "Soviet Shock Army" doctrine that is a great anti inf doctrine.

I agree ostruppen needed a cool-down reduction or a price change (raise). But the 280mp and 25 Muni or whatever the assgrens was before was just plain stupid. FOr 310mp its a fair deal.

Great changes!!

Small nerf on the LMG which the community has asked for...

Made a few seemingly useless weapons a little more useful (G43 I haven't seen in a long time, nor have I ever used it)

AT GUN BUFF!!! YES!!!!!!! More community support

KV-8 nerf!!!! YES!! More community support..

The Assgren change is perfect in my opinion!

Ostruppen change wasn't exactly what I was looking for. No cooldown increase or price increase. So we will still see ostruppen spam, but I haven't seen it as a terrible problem yet so. We shall see...

Thanks for listening to the community RELIC. Now I will go and buy the commanders

I still think guard nades are weak. But that's just my personnel gameplay experience.

Look up tristan45587 and you will see. Relax my man you seem to have missed other posts where I have applauded your coh2 knowledge. However I never realized you didn't play the game much, which is essential when including yourself in balance discussions. As a matter of fact it looks like you haven't played in 2 patches, because your stats haven't changed in some time.

How on earth am I potraying myself as some sort of pro?? Far from it. I was in top 100 German until last night before I was schooled by some pros lol
