Ive been watching this channel for a while and never realized there were 2 different guys. Wtf is happening

Honestly, Reserve Army and Tank Hunter's biggest strengths are the fact they make for great T1 commanders Reserve Army has MG and ZiS without building the tech structure, meaning you can make Penals even more potent with the Commissar whilst Shockscripts can get up close and personal as well as cap MG-held points with Hit the Dirt Tank Hunter has the early PTRS rifles (CP1) Meaning a combination of cons and penals gives you strong potential for anti-tank with the AT nade assault from camo, as well as cloaked SU-85s, and means penals don't gimp their AI performance with PTRS rifles

10:25 - rapid conscription was changed. It is 90 munitions now. Provides single conscript squad. But increases unit production and replenishment by 50%.

I like how 151's hand and chair phase out of existence half of the time

i think the problem with shock motor heavy is that the need for shocks contradicts the use case of the ISU. Shocks excel in urban maps with short ranges, and the ISU is useless in such maps because it can't maneuver or respond to a flank. ISU excels in open maps and so do the guards, that's what makes that synergy superior, not just Guards vs Shocks on a one-to-one basis. I think the same issue applies to armored doctrine, where you have no elite infantry and really have to rely on your allies pushing for fuel to support the strong late game units. The infantry disadvantage though makes it that by the time you build T4, you've probably been at a fuel disadvantage and will need to keep putting your 34-85s to support the front line and the IS-2 will never get built because you won't have the luxury to float that much fuel. To me these commanders are less than the sum of their parts.

Guard mortar is still one of the strongest commander out there, it donesn’t give you anything outright OP but quickly amounts to an overwhelming force if combined.

Assault guards also can get ppsh upgrades. Armoured assault is pretty good in 1v 1 with how lethal and fast the is2 arrives on the field if your tanks go down

And i would say ! I have been spaming partisan on the ladder 4v4 3v3 And i think the suprise effect of stealth partisan is soo good, if you are on top of your micro you really get the jump on german infanterie and win every engagement early to mid, and bully them, they will fear your ambuches ; so in 4v4 it let you time to bring your partisans on the other side ans surprise them aswell. Rly good not a lot of ppl know how to counter this, and whit all partisans you can plant mines before every engagement !

Awesome, I’ve been waiting for the Soviet tier list. Thanks!!

On 4v4s combined arms is all u need to have a chill match, but i love to meme with tank hunters, great video guys!!

Did u guy notice that? Only the tank hunter commander is smile😏

Lend lease 4 life

Great vid! Fallschirmjager still wayyy more busted than the last commander though xD but I do appreciate you pointing out toxic playstyles not being a good thing for a game I am of the same mindset! Cough Cough Encirclement doctrine

Guard Motor is S tier in small 1v1 and 2v2 but indeed B tier in large game. It's strong early-mid game but lacks late game options like heavy call-in/airstrikes and team benefits like radio/recon. Still don't understand why Lend Lease is in A though. Also Soviet mustache bias lol

I love using Partisan and watching them get pinned in 0.002 seconds from a random MG the enemy forgot even existed. All jokes aside I understand the theme of the commander, but I would rather them switch the AT ambush into something or some unit that actually has a fight chance when fighting head-on. Because you'll be going for 2-3 Partisan squads behind the lines, so your actual infantry force at the frontline will be likely 1-2 squads and easily overwhelmed. In short, it needs a contingency plan, an "Aw shit" button, if you will. This is the guy who picks sniper, never hits any shots and his team has to carry.

T 34 85 is horrible against anything but p4 T 34 normal is just straight up better due to cost Airborne guards are horrible due to the fact they have no evasion

Please take these rankings with a grain of salt. These guys are not great Coh2 players... - KV2 is frankly terrible tank in team games and kv-8 is also quite lackluster in other maps than straight city maps. - Guard motor is VERY strong in 1v1 and 2v2, but is easily A/S tier in 3v3 and even 4v4 as your early/mid is so strong and most of the team games end before late game. (It's not a fun commander but it's very strong) - T34-85 contradictory to other comments is the best medium tank in the game (if you don't count panther as medium), the extra health really helps with keeping it alive. - 120mm mortar is one of the strongest early units in the whole game as it has big wiping potential and it's difficult to kill (great against okw trucks as well). - ISU-152 is the best heavy in the game. - IS-2 is quite weak these days, but is OK in city maps. And gets quite a bit stronger after vet 2 - Anti tank overwatch is very strong if you play with a team as you can coordinate it better - BTW best commander ability in the game for 4v4 is 'hold the line' from the brits. - B4 is weak after it got nerfed so it's better to use ml-20, although lef is much stronger :/.

Firstly great content as ever. Would someone please be kind enough to write down the commanders names for each tier. I'm currently having difficultly working out which hairy grizzled command is which.

oh, turned out this tier is for vs player…

With the final commander xD you dont like it cause it good and you cant fight it. What the hell is that reason?

In what world is Guard Motor in B tier.

Germany commanders next?

29:50 sounds like you're talking about you and 151

Type of game matters , 1vs 1 or ... 4vs 4 ?

Because this is a 3v3 or 4v4 situation, I believe airborne rally point -eventho still great- isn't as great so maybe it can be the lowest "S" by a very small margin? I dunno lol. Also, you are thinking about a player that has all of these commanders opened but Guard Motor is a free commander and also has literally everything you need. It covers every point (other than a call-in) but you still have the mark vehicle for your muni. spendings. Cuz of all that, I believe it's at least "A" tier. You literally have everything you need with that commander and can use it in every 3v3 or 4v4 game, it just works. Especially when you give defensive an "A" tier rank. Don't get me wrong, in 2v2 or 1v1 that commander is a solid "A" where you can just go penals and clown car or sniper and then just use the call-in teamweapons to complement. However, you DO have team weapons and emplacements options in teamgames already. The at is just trash is 3v3 or 4v4, cuz the game will go to late and it won't do anything, and your teammates have better ats, they will have again mortars and mgs. You doN't get any good tanks with it either. Hence, all in all, guard motor is ALWAYS better than defensive in big games. At the very least, if you are saying defensive is "A", you have to put guard motor on "A" too.

old partisan before they change is nightmare...

Cool tier list, pls do the same for other countries, especially USA love thier paratroopers bad ass boyz. P.S. you coud try to cooperate with Basset

Idk since the nerf of tank over watch i don’t think it’s all that good, i have seen it taking ages to destroy just a P4 or phanter

Defensive doc let’s you skip tier 2 and also have snipers and penals I’d say A or low S.

when did the T34-85 get downgraded to 45s?

Why I cant see guard combined arms?

do you know if the old guards bulletin affect the airborne and assault guards?

spy net was ruined

is this valid for 1v1?

Any commanders with ISU 152 or camouflaged AT guns are automatically A tier or S tier to me. If they have Guard troops or shock troops they are at least B tier.

Thats why these people play 4v4 and don't know anything about the game

this guy is the campest RTS player I've ever seen haha
