| Other very good Soviet AFV:
 Kv-85.  KV tank with the 85mm gun
 
 Is-1 on the same platform of IS-2 but with the 85mm gun
 
 ISU-122- The ISU-152's smaller cousin.
 
 SU-100- Soviet counterpart of the Jagdpanther
 
 German side:
 
 Jagdpanzer IV- German counterpart of the SU-85
 
 Nashorn- Like Elefant but with paper armor.
 
 Stuh42- Sadly missing from COh2.

| ^With the elbe day patch, i find the Is-2 to be overpriced and underperforming now esp. vs. the Tiger.

| post more about alpha, tell me more | 
| 'The Brest Fortress' is very good, and the whole movie is uploaded on youtube. | 
| Use pioneers to recrew.  It is cheaper. | 
| The Tiger tank still does pretty well against 2 x T-34/85.
 P4's can be improved during mid game with 1 shreck squad.  They also still have their advantage of 3rd MG and higher rate of fire.
 | 
| Pretty much any tiger commander is essential.   | 
| I believe the concept behind the new German T4 is to make it less reachable/desirable than it was before so the Soviets would be more balanced with the Germans.
 If you look at it this way, the doctrinal Tiger is a real bargain.
 
 I personally think that the elbe day T4 is fair.
 | 
| If the Germans are to have their old super panther back, then the Soviets should get the Kv-85/IS-1 or even IS-2 at T4.
 Already the German T4 has the effective Brummbar.

| Osttruppen are great for remanning support weapons while keeping your panzergrens/grens on the field.  That is what I want osttruppen for.
 Guards should not be used for AI without the DPs. Otherwise, it's wasting your MP and not getting what you can out of an elite infantry unit.
