If you upset, that I took out the /87 upgrade and the IS-2s, you must remember, that you can upgrade youre Zis AT gun. I changed the doctrines, and I think they makes sense. It's just suggestions, and I wrote this for discussions. I also thiks, that the commies are quite balanced out.

However, there is also the following thing to consider.

A proper EF game should really be between Soviets and Axis. In a 2v2/3v3/4v4, the Axis side has alot of combinations (and will have even more with Ostheer) cause you have 2 factions with doctrines vs 1. By having the amount of units the soviets have, you can somewhat balance that as they have more options than a regular faction.

It is a really interesting point you've raised and I believe it merits more discussion and thought for it.

I agree with you, but that's the whole point of the doctrines. You can do combined arms wit the Yenkies when you're teammate chooses different doctrines. With commies there is no point choosin different doctrines but urban combat, where you call in the sniper ace, and build SU100-s.

omg if thye do change the is2 and the su100 as a call in tank ill stop playing cuase the russian suck then.... what tank they have to breach tank traps ?
and with what tank we russia can hold german tigers ? and even think about king tigers.....
the su100 and the IS2 need to be normal units....

well u think u never played as russia mate....
i try to kill at king tiger with t34/85 u never kill it with 6 t34/85.
and even think about the su100 tank destoyer...
if we dont have them what destoyer the russia then have agianst other destoyers...

the russia are good now as it is now.
dont change the russia dont make russia tanks call in thad realy sucks thad wil also decrease the power of the russian then the russian will lose every fight
and dont tell thad the russia tanks are faster then other tanks.
thad is not right they are even slower as an panther ...
so u have some bad thoughts about the game...

will u guy add the kv-85 in a up coming patch

[GodlikeDennis]

Perhaps...perhaps not... wait and see

[Paciat]

will u guy add the kv-85 in a up coming patch

I hope that IS-2 will be an upgrade for the KV-85.
I would really like to see a tank with Churchills armor and T-34/85 gun (with acc and AoE nerfs). IS-2 should be a very, very, very late game tank that balances veted Panthers. Right now it sucks that you need ammo for T-34/85 but dont need any for IS-2.

Or maybe a reward unit for LL Sherman.

Did you ever kite the King Tiger and shoot it from the rear? 2 T-34/85 hardly enugh for them. I play with my friend EF mod and that was just a quick tought of the mod. This EF mod is just smells like SupaRussia-Faction, imagine the Wehr can build Tiger without doctrines, and PE can call in/or build medium tanks. You don't have to think, do tactic or micro you're army just blob the counter units and that's all. Similar to the US faction. I'd love to see anyway more response who played against humans or not have Russophilia.

Cheers

Cool story bro, but maybe you should address your own bias before you go about accusing people of 'Russophilia'. People like you won't be happy until the Soviet army consists of nothing but a child armed with a stick.

[GodlikeDennis]

I can say that I enjoy crushing Russian noobs who simply swarm you with everything they have. It makes it so much easier to dominate them all at once and then cap the map out.

Seriously, a good Russian player will play in a very similar style to US. That is, usually flanking and being mobile but blobbing up when the time comes to make a massive overrun.

[Zerstörer]

The most common complaints in any mod comes from Axis fanboys to be fair, accompanied by the usual ''historical accuracy complaints'' because their Tiger can't take on 5 Shermans/T34s and win.

But, that's not to say Soviet balance is at the level it should be yet and we're constantly working on it.
