Thread: Soviet 1v1 build/ vs Feuersturm31 May 2018, 17:44 PM Jump back to quoted post31 May 2018, 07:19 AMkonfucius In a sense this allows my early game to mirror OKW with conscripts as the anvil like volks and engineer flamer as sturmpio hammer. Gosh this is really funny but in a sad way Thanks for your advice, man, I'll definitely try that out! I think 3x conscripts sniper, 4th conscript may work for me (that's what Tomakaze recommended) as I really like using snipers. I'd probably then need to go 1-2 Guards for some At. The problem is that 2 Guards squads is 150 muni to upgrade... and then if i want PPSh cons that's another 60 each D: Jump back to quoted post31 May 2018, 07:35 AMFinndeed i'll see if i can watch your replays and give some advice. I dont think i have time for a 'full replay review' but i can advise some. Thanks Findeed, that's much appreciated! In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Soviet 1v1 build/ vs Feuersturm31 May 2018, 06:45 AM Hey Vindicare, What's your normal build against Ostheer? I tried going with the 3x Cons 2x CE (but wanted to get a sniper so went for T1 but ended up being down so much mp I didn't build it) Towards the end of this game 1 VS Burmie GBPirate 1 Cons & Shocks by: Gbpirate map: Kholodny Ferma Winter 1 - I was floating a lot of mp and probably should've built my sniper way a couple minutes before the game ended but I knew that I needed some AT so I went and built T2 but also got a heavy mortar (which was a bad choice because I needed that AT gun). But that midgame build isn't even very important here because I lost to Burmie. Now, he's rank 80 or so after that game and I'm not at 220-something so it's not like I was slated to win according to our ELOs anyway. If anyone else wants to give their 2cents (looking at you Tightrope) I'd much appreciate it. I feel like the game is too short for a "replay review" and I don't really want to open up another thread. I'm under the impression that I should have a set cap order (or one with minor flexibility) for each faction/position/build order on each map. It sounds like a lot of knowledge to have, though. Like, I should know where to send my first units 100% of the time whether it's capping or just sending my first conscript to hold the line behind some stupid truck or wait in a house somewhere. Is that correct? In: Red Army Strategies

Thread: Soviet 1v1 build/ vs Feuersturm31 May 2018, 01:29 AM Welp, this didn't go so well and I generally got outplayed. tomakaze had some nice T1 tips for me. Sniper after the 3rd Con, flamer clown car into Guards. I got outplayed but maybe 5 cons isn't so great on Faymonville? A mortar w/ smoke would've been decent because that center house w/ MG42 forced me to play a side or split my forces. I really hate how slow the soviet mortar is. It really needs to get faster at aiming and rotating because it is just such a pain to use when compared to other standard mortars. 0 VS Tomakaze GBPirate 0 Five conscripts by: Gbpirate map: Faymonville Approach 1 - In: Red Army Strategies

Thread: Soviet 1v1 build/ vs Feuersturm31 May 2018, 00:16 AM Hey .org, just looking for some help here regarding both build orders and against Feuersturm commander. First, here's a replay: 0 VS Itaperuna GBPirate 8 Soviets vs Feuersturm by: Gbpirate map: Arnhem Checkpoint 1 - Second, my build is pretty standard at: Con Con Con T2 Maxim I usually send my CE around a few points close to the base then bring it back to build T2 when I have enough manpower. Ideally, I like to get two Maxims and a mortar from my T2 but when I'm down I tend to get an AT gun (like what I did in the replay) but I wasn't rushed by a P4 or a Luchs (I find the Luchs meta not to common in the 200s of the leaderboard) and it was extra mp I didn't need to spend. What are some other T2 builds that people enjoy using or ones specific to Arnhem Checkpoint/ones specific to Arnhem Checkpoint or other urban map when Feuersturm Commander is present on an opponent's loadout? What should I have done differently this game? heavy mortar instead of standard mortar? Another Maxim? Should I get a fourth conscript? I always get three but four with PPSh seems to be very good especially vs Obers and typically beat a Volks/ StG depending on the engagement (but there were some MP40 Volks and double flamer Sturmpio was very punishing in close range). I really feel like a one-trick-pony with my build because going T1 seems inefficient for me. I love using Maxims and back in the day with their wicked setup time I'd often get three and cover all sorts of angles with them. But now they're a lot slower and more cumbersome and their narrow arc really doesn't make up for it. In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: Soviets vs Feuersturm 31 May 2018, 00:09 AM Just wondering what i'm supposed to do here on a building-heavy map such as Arnhem Checkpoint. I usually feel pretty strong with soviets as I've got molotovs + PPSh + flamer engineer. Should I have only used molotovs after I spent the 180 mu to upgrade my three cons? Should i have chosen the other ppsh/IL-2 loiter commander w/ Guards instead of Shocks? Or should I have used a heavy mortar (didn't want to spend that much mp) and a second Maxim? My opponent was about 80 ranks ahead of me in the automatch ladder but he wasn't even top 100 so he's not that good but I did get outplayed. I guess, how do I do better? xD In: Replays
Thread: AT grenade bug30 May 2018, 21:45 PM Conscript At grenade not working despite taking munitions and the animation being executed. I think I have seen this with other factions and I'm pretty sure it's a known bug. It's frustrating and could very well end games :/ https://community.companyofheroes.com/discussion/245086/soviet-conscript-at-grenade-failure/p1?new=1 In: Replays
