WOW - the Soviets got nerfed pretty hard.

There was some pretty good counters against them as Axis, now it seems they'll be target practice.

350 for a mortar you can't re-crew? T34 armor decreased? So now a simple schreck squad can take it out roughly within 3 shots when you're spending 360mp and 80 fuel? lol

IS-2 was the only reasonable counter to the vet 3 tank spam the Axis commonly use against Soviets, now since IS-2 armor is decreased, good luck with vet 3 Panthers, Tigers, and Jagd/King. Soviet AT guns are pretty weak and also cannot be re-crewed.

That being said, I'm very pleased that patches are being released quickly, and bugs are being addressed. Better than Relic!

Guys, you've obviously not played the game to come up with such balance complaints...

T34/76 has 650 health and the 85s have 700...WH shrek does 120 damage...that's 6 hits needed...7 if you're PE. That's more than Sherman/Cromwell can claim...and they cost more.

IS2 was WAY OP...and it will still beat down a vet3 Panther

Try using more combined arms/units and upgrades rather than the 1.0 conscript spam...quick T34 and then... IS2 win button

You're right, I checked after some games, T34 health is still ok. I thought you guys dropped it more significantly.

Historically and for the game, T34 have to be cheap (mass produced). The upgraded T34's are beauties but I think 70 fuel should have been maximum, as the progressive Axis vet is hard to compete with. IS2 is a good tank, but costs way too much, specially after the armor nerf.

I think we have to take in account that Soviets cannot re-crew any weapons which makes it that much heavier of a loss. So a mortar which costs 350 is devastating to lose so easily, since the enemy can take it, yet the player cannot re-crew it. This applies to all weapons, including the AT gun (and enemy weapons).

Middle game for Soviets is very difficult. I have to wait for 145 fuel to field any kind of armor while Axis are mowing down infantry with AC's, HT's, MHT's, etc. + infantry support. Tank Hunters stand no chance against this combo early-mid game.

If going T2, the losses of AT guns and mortars is terrible against good Axis players. Also, even with the Iginery upgrade, they get pinned even if the Axis infantry sneezes to closely.

I'm an Axis player in CoH, so I'm not trying to be bias - just accurate.

...and whats with the sniper team? They wont shoot when camoed??

100% agreed. Spesially about non-recruting AT and mortars. It is still looks like "no sense unit" in cost+effectivness.
So, in my opinion soviets are VERY weak in mid game, if they are not mixed with americans.

[Zerstörer]

PE is all about fast halftracks/scout cars, all vulnerable to to light arms fire and AT rifles. You can't ask the same from the Soviet faction.

Soviet armour comes at a comparable time as an M8/Puma while heavier armour like the T34 slightly later than a stug

EASTERN FRONT v1.0 - good!
Patch -1.01 - 1.02 - no good. I installed version 1.0 without patches.

Who cares? You can play with yourself

[Zebra]

With all respect to moders team - 1.02 is another one step to convert soviet to "meat for beat fraction".
We played 4 matches 2v2 with different axis mix, the result is - NO CHANCE for russians.
It is not only my point.
Please do something though to at and mortar re-capturing.


Best regards.

Where i can download the 1.02 patch??

First off excellent patch. Pretty much everything I am happy with. I think the only real problem left is the recrewing issue with mortars and AT-just kills a russian player not being able to recrew. The prices are spot on. its the recrew that hurts, I realize this is relics fault, but is it possible to get them to address this in the future?

LOVE the skins for the tank riders, I hope the IS 85,and or ISU152 and the strelky/guards get some new skins in the future.!!!!

NKVD upgrade and strelky upgrade is still seems a bit high. Would like to see them both at 100 to 125 munu. Right now most people just wait for guards because its one or the other in cost, and only 50 manpower differnece, if the strelky munu upgrade were cheaper their would be more incentive to use it. 

That said, awesome patch, really think its perfect now. Bring on the OStheer!

about 10 to 30 Min's into the Berlin map it crashes for no reason(i have Quality drivers & ram so that's not a factor)& in the snow maps when the snow is falling there is too much of it, it lower my FPS & its annoying

Good russian meat
