Soviets in Africa

How about fixing this piece of crap before making a COH3? MVGame
Cuz I for one am not gonna spend anymore money on Relic titles.

There's fun to be had, but this guy is not having it.

MG 42 was buffed very slightly today, and while I didn't have experience using it, my friend said it more consistently suppresses in the first burst now.

Yeah, I seriously don´t get this game any longer. What were they thinking? The roles are totally flipped.

The side with the historical better MGs (MG34/42) get´s the weaker ones.

The side with inferior numbers gets a doctrine which allows to spam cheap infantry (Osttruppen).

The side which excelled at tank combat from far, gets outranged by the standard Russian T4 vehicle and has to rush in the tanks in close range to actually do something. Close combat - a thing German tankers actually tried to avoid like the plague.

The side that almost didn´t have an airforce present in 1944, gets an air-doctrine.

Or how Shtrafniki are armed with SVT-40 and are all around stronger, more expensive, and more durable than Conscripts. They get Satchels explosives and flamethrowers too, definately want to keep them alive. In real life though? They were cannon fodder and nothing more. They weren't infantry, they were blobs you charged into machine guns. They were the guys who wore dark coats and carried sticks, so the Germans would fire at them instead of the white-jacketed Red Army troops hiding beside them. Not to mention everyone in the Soviet Army is either an Engineer, Conscripts, Convict, Guard, or Shock Troop. What happened to the Strelki? Am I to assume they were all killed or captured in the initial invasion and that nobody volunteered to take their place?

I doubt all this was done on purpose, most of it is probably initial design vs final execution, but regardless the current design is perplexing at best.

Honestly, you had two empires next to each other rapidly industrialising themselves and modernising their militaries, both relied on blind nationalism and an oppressive central government, led by brutal men who who ordered the deaths of others, and both invaded or annexed the weaker nations around them. Neither side was really good, the eastern front was essentially 2 bad guys fighting each other. If you want "good guys", look toward the Western Allies, it's as close as you'll get.

And even if Germany didn't invade the USSR when they did, there's reason to believe that Stalin had his own plans for a future invasion of Germany. It would have been an honest to god miracle if they hadn't started fighting each other.

1.26 doesn't seem to work as of the Dec/11 update, mod will not launch and instead brings up the bug reporter.

Great mod though! Loved the CoH1 version (are you the same creator under another alias?)
