Umm... pardon me, but I fail to understand why the hell people are so displeased with soviet build. So they are call-in dependant. So what? They are the best army in COH2 right now, have all the options you can think of and counters for everything. Ostheer would pay gold to have such power.
So that it means 80% of doctrines are screaming "I'm going to loose" or "you are so bad at this game that I can beat you with partisans/tank hunters/NKVD/con support/whatever".
And soviets stand up in current meta almost exclusively because of armor and infantry call-ins.
Soviets are meant to SUPPLEMENT TIERING CHOICES WITH DOCTRINES(I went T1? I suppose I need guards/M-42/120mm to fill the gap, I went T3? I'll probably need heavy armor to hold off or break through).
Not to REPLACE STOCK UNITS WITH DOCTRINAL ONES BECAUSE FIRST ONES SUCK DONKEY BALLS(tiering? Why? There is nothing there that would justify spending even 10 fuel for that, doctrines provide all what tiering does, but better and more cost effective, snipers and AT guns being often mandatory exceptions).
Really bad idea.
Reason?
Not everyone have them.
Armies who do already have advantage over armies who don't, why the gap should be widened?
Being able to build fortification is already advantage in itself.
Ambush camo also gives that 20-30% damage bonus for about 5 seconds when you start firing, and IS-2 doesnt show up until on Late game period, so your MG 42´s would be relatively safe until then, and Armor piercing ammo for MG 42 is the best thing for MG´s in this game
i suggest everyone to spam incendiary ammo, since it kills infantry and vehicles, and its cheap for its damage potential
Soviets have the highest win streak out of any faction in the game in 1v1.
And tomorrow it will be OKW.
And day after that Ost.
We've been there, done that lolcake wanabe.
Jesulin or Barton will loose a single game, loose the winstreak and suddenly become scrub or the faction got underpowered from game to game?
Win streaks are as reliable sources of any data as Spongebob is on life in the ocean.
is the coh2 community bad by nature or is it a result of how it has been treated ?
CoH2 community is actually one of the more mature ones I've seen.
And I've seen quite a few.
Just be happy we aren't lol or any random shooter community.
You forget that he vanilla factions have mobile reinforcement halftracks. something the wfa armies do not have. each has it strengths and weaknesses
Ambulance, while works only on friendly territory and is a bitch to micro can count as mobile reinforcement.
There is also USF M3 transporter which can reinforce.
CB isn't mobile nor can it heal. Major is only 120 mp if you lose your free. 300 mp 120 muni for the same combo except immobile and sarchel is instakill.
You have forgot to include ambulance in the costs, unless the major is humping some gal there and "create new soldiers"
