CoH2: 1v1 Elite - Hans(OST) vs Zyswen(SU) 

is there anywhere else to shit to go?

true

Was thinking the same- felt like he didn't tech for grenades at all

panic for sure

Yup for sure

Merges downside is it can cost you a cons squad, your cons squad is weaker as a result after merge. Becoming in danger of being wiped or forced off aftwards. Its a strong and ussefull ability but nothing more then a hp transfer on the spot. And people need to remember soviets hurt in other areas, they cant flip or wipe an engagement in their favor in an instant with nades as they have none stock, ce's as a 4 men unit face units geared towards fighting 5 or 6 men squads. Their stock late game and even late mid game isent very good when compared. Maxim although its at its best (not counting its golden spamm days) is still the worst mg in the game at a premium price.

on team games, not 1v1

well this game the tiger did almost nothing all game , is was a bad move even hans said so

Yeah, i think it was smartass.com :D

@@Klongu_Da_Bongu i watched the game live and hans himself said that, for that high cost it did nothing and missed all his shots

@@tommasopisapia7464 don't know man tiger ace seems pretty good in 1vs1 especially with spearhead (which you can easily obtain since you star at vet 1),but normal tiger really seems trash right know.

Lol those units require more skill to play then any axis counter part. Panthers tiger etc are easier to control and support.

And what are you suggesting to build, good sir?

@@mjn5016 and in this game flanking works, like real life

@@mjn5016 please explain, no covering fire means troops get close to front lines. directly translatable to real life.

@@mjn5016 yes sir i am, because combined arms tactics works just like it does in coh. of course the realities and logistics of war means its not a direct translation, you know this. But the macro concepts work. smoke barrage in order to get tanks across lines for example. These are real tactics. smoke tactics are legit. your just trying to be contrarian. there are similarities

OST has a very robust unit selection; even without commander units or call ins they can respond well to things as a baseline. Secondly it allows you to figure out what your enemy is building into, so you can pick a commander late to "counter" or tip the scales just enough. Two years late but i hope that helped

Two vetted heavy tanks were destroyed in the last push alongside a retreat of infantry to base. You cannot recover from this in a 1v1 vs excellent players late game

A game like coh 2 will never be truly balanced, only feel balanced mostly.

@@bencarmine3032 I think the soviets shapshift ability is bs. That they can change into any other squad

@@simongiesbrecht9134 how so? they are not able to do things other factions can. Why shoudnt the soviets have an ability for staying power when their entire inf roster is about durability?

@@bencarmine3032 Obviously, each faction is unique. but the merge ability is OP in my opinion. Does it cost anything?

@@simongiesbrecht9134 yes the reinforce cost of conscripts, possibly the entire squad if unlucky, at vet 0 the outright bad recc accuracy of conscripts is carried over to receving squad. you sacrifice the dps and hp and field presence of conscripts to keep another squad on the field. Its an hp transfer for mp, strong indeed but nothing more then that.

Might as well try to flank it with panther

Stug can't sustain that amount of AT...

Stug has 50 range and ISU has 70 on AP and 60 on HE, so bad matchup unless you make 2-3 stugs and dive the ISU

@@konstantinoskeremidis1517 oh ok I thought Stug was supposed to be sniper tank, never would've thought ISU would outrange it !

@@bounidadada4057 Stug is the fast reload tank. It gets pretty insane... Allies can't even pull back their tanks to repair.
