Very nice. This will just add to the feeling that COH2 is becoming what COH1 was.

A question: I had a first run on one of my replays, and I wonder if there is a problem with the map? I could not recognise the supposed footprints of my own commands. It's like they were mirrored or something(?)

OK, thanks for the clarification.

AFAIK that info is not given anywhere at the forum of COH2 at companyofheroes.com. It ought to be under the FAQ sticky, all though I realise you may have reasons not to want to broadcast this option (?)

Just had this right now. It should be peak hour CET...

Btw.: It seems to me that the M5 quad is much better at shooting down planes than the Ostwind.

Are their stats actually that different? Or is it just a random observation?

Very insightful essay. And much of it is true.

You lost me at the point where you compare soviets to PE, though. PE was much based upon good, light vehicles and the soviets have none before T3.

And then I'm not quite sure if it's true that the soviets are sort of only good on offensive play, based on shock tactics.

I see some good defensive strategy potential in it too, but ofc. choices of viable strategies may be narrowed much more Down in competitive 1v1.

As for the discussion about the soviet options in team games: very true. Per default it's always a gang-rape of one soviet player at the time in the late game. If everyone on the SU team isn't aware of it, you'll be sure to suddenly find german tanks in your base while you are busy going on the offensive on your own front.

I think it's fair to conclude, there there is no real balance in team games - as also discussed in other threads.

But question is: how much does it matter? Maybe for 2v2, but for 3v3 and 4v4 I actually don't care that much about losing 2 out of 3 games as soviets. I can just switch to the german side if I want a point-and-click kind of Victory. So why care? Noone plays competitively on 3v3+ anyway.
