I am a low-level player but, I am having some difficutly understanding how to deal with an Early T-70.

Obviously, I know the hard counters but, with my careless mistakes and not pigeon-hole-ing myself into weird builds; What is the general rule to prevent an early T-70?

If I try to set-up early Teller mines, then I am sacrificing (see delaying) my gren squads' LMG upgrade (argueably one of the best T1.5 upgrades in the game). Then, I cannot take the map back as he'll either 1.) beat my grens in combat with mulitple units or 2.) cap more of the map and hide in buildings.

If I give my grens LMG upgrades, I'll take the map but, he'll eventually get the T-70 out.
If I try to rifle grenade cons in/out of cover or "play the building dance game" i'm using even more muni, not for LMGs or Tellers; BUT, I need to push him off the map/out of buildings and rifle grenade is the only way to do that (IMO, In T1).

Pgrens fall into the same problem and die (even with shrecks) just as quick vs a well-microed/half-decent-microed T-70, or multiple guards or 1 shocktroop.

Is the mainstream idea to get a Pak ASAP at T2? I feel this is a bad idea because if the soviet player uses ANY commander-call-in or upgrades (shocks, guards, ppshs) they can just over run my paks, even with my grens/mgs/pgrens on the field.

Flamehalf Track is such a HUGE investment (muni wise) that if i don't micro/keep away from T-70, I lose a HUGE advantage and now he can push more with his inf.

My first intention is "go hard counter" and get ANYTHING T3 but, if I focus too much on T3 fuel/Converse resources too much, I cannot get map control to get the resources FOR T3.

I guess to answer my own question would be to keep my gren(s) and 1 pg along with 1 pak and "hold out till T3"/ "Play Defensively" while the T-70 hits the field.

It's funny, i acutally prefer su-85 because my army composition just becomes Pgrens and Paks or i'll have T3 at the same time. Now, against T3 soviets, I feel my ONLY option is T3, to seal the game.

TLDR; I hate building "pre-emptive" PAKs; How can I better prepare for Soviet T3?

It's just getting past a German T2 without Guard that I find difficult.

i just spam conscripts, at nades, mines and t34s.

Concripts & At Nades, then Mines, mines and mines, that's how you beat T2. Then x2-4 T-34s for T3 then su-85/callintanks for T4

If Relic goes the way of Riot, then what you'll end up with is a few good commanders for the metagame, and a whole slew of worthless commanders. Out of Riot's what, 110+ champions, only a dozen are used in top-tier gaming, and that's reflected on the ladder.

This is why i stopped playing LoL.

I like the idea of COH2 MP +3 commanders being Free to play, as it will increase the automatch pool for low-level players.

Right now, i feel COH2 has WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many commanders and not a single one is balanced. I feel the orginial 3 commanders are awful in alot of ways but, OMG-BROKEN in another way(

I saw the previous streams Barton; you were cracking me up when your internet radio wasn't working.

I specifically remember the langres one as you were able to hold back, i think, 3 Kv-8s? Which was my fear of a hard counter to this strat. Teller mines and PG shrecks were key thou.

I like the build alot, i think if one keeps their sniper count at 3 and ost count at 4-6 then the strat will work perfectly (obviously, keep your micro-capping up too), as all your ost. can fire their shrecks like hotcakes, if any vehicles come out.

I would liked to have seen a M3-Quad/earlier T-70 along with a kv-8 against this build, as i feel the few russian players you did play with this build were WAY too agressive with their vehicles and lost them to tellers so quickly.

S-mines are lame, never build them, Brumbars will never happen since all Fuels are going for redistribute resources (a.k.a Tellers and Railways for that)

Yes, Yes, Yes! I need to see these past streams as, this was my idea when the commander was introduced.

I always felt x6 ost was the perfect number, as they always travel 2x2 or preferably all together. This way, when you finally do get 1CP for Atry officer 7 units getting arty Focus Fire, is rediculous (even more with recent patch buff of 15%!).

The early map capping is insane with ost. too.
