CoH 2 - Soviet Commander: Counterattack Tactics DLC

What a shame

11/10 would one shot again.

i want change my army to german,,,pls help which one u must buy COH thank

The DLC doesn't work... I installed it only to find out it doesn't show up when trying to equip the commander... I submitted a ticket, and it hasn't replied in 2 weeks. Tried everything including re-installing the game, and it still doesn't work. Overall, the units look cool, but until this is fixed I am not recommending it, sorry.

Have you ever wanted a howitzer that acted like a sniper? You know took one really dangerous shot tehn did bugger all for a minute or two? Sounds like you'd like this dude then. I personally don't really like this guy all that much but I can see his merits. First you get awesome shock troops with all their mad skills for belting people over the head with their own shoes which is always a great option, then you get a scout place which is always handy for planning/ not getting blown to bits in an ambush, for mother russia lets your dudes rush around and fight better for a little bit but then they get all tuckered out and nap during the cooldown so better hope the fights over when the ability runs out, the KV-1 is a great infantry support tank and reminds me of the churchill in Coh 1 since its tough and good at fighting infantry but its gun its fairly ineffective against other tanks. The sniper howitzer is interesting since it takes one shot not a barrage which but its a strong shot without warning so thats good, also it can fire over open sights like a pak 43 so thats swell. If you like the sound of this dude I reccomend picking up the case blue bundle since you get theatre of war missions, this dude and the super commander of the germans the mechinized assualt doctrine.

This is the best commander when an axis player goes infantry spam like most do. Shocks go toe to toe with the heaviest infantry they have, and as the game gets more heated and you need speed to counter them and flank, you have the "for mother Russia ability", which basically makes your units run super fast and attack/fight faster and better. This allows you to split your units and surround their units. This also allows you to quickly position units in their retreat path, so when the cowards try to retreat you can intercept them and leave no survivors. Once again, this ability lets you go toe to toe with their infantry, 2 shocks can take out 5 of their squads if they aren't vetted or fully vetted, but 3 of your shocks fully vetted can take out 5-6 of their vetted squads while this ability is active. If you have good micro skills, you can easily confuse them by having a few cons shooting from far, shocks coming in close and flanking at the same time. Manage your small squads through out the map and they will be overwhelmed and that's how you pick off their infantry one by one. Next thing you know you have all vetted units and they have nothing. The b4 arty delivers one devastating shot, but if played well its enough. Use the heavily armored kv1 to tank damage, while your infantry rush in to stall them in one place. Then, deliver the b4 shot and watch them fly up in the air. Not to mention this b4 artillery offers direct tank shot, so if they are pushing a bit hard and they get close enough, fire this baby up on the direct shot ability and watch their tank go boom. It's not a commander for unskilled players, but if you have skills this commander will allow you to demolish even the most skilled players. Oh and one more thing, always start with conscripts in the start with this commander. It allows you to build vetted squads to reinfoce your shocks later in the game. Which also offer amazing support against a sudden tank, activate the for mother russia ability and chase down a fleeting tank and finish it off with an anti-tank granade. In the very least that will damage its engine to allow you to catch up to them with your own armor units. When their pathetic KT goes on in the field, lure it closer to the b4 so the spread of the shot is reduced. Once its close enough, make sure he things winning by throwing a few soft units at him, and retreating. Most axis think the king tiger is understandable. Fire off a b4 shot, takes nearly half its health. Fire up for mother Russia, chase it and damage its engine with a tank grenade. Move up your su 85 and start picking it off. Surely, watch as the tank goes boom. Once again, like most axis players they will panic and try to throw everything they have at you to save their tank, but little do they know for mother Russia will be there to greet them. Watch as their infantry melts, if they bunch up their units. That b4 shot has a 60 second cool down. Watch as this baby demolishes their infantry or finish off the tiger if it isn't already dead. It's a skilled commander, requires munitions for it to work optimally. But if you are skilled with soviets, this commander is the best there is. I have them all, and i succeed with this nearly every time. Give it a try, worth the money. NOT ONE STEP BACK COMMANDER! HORRAHHHH!!

Shocks troops - Useful, as usual Recon flight - Also very useful, as its a long flight and can be used in coordination with allies to plan good an effective assualt For Mother Russia - By the time you unlock this, the battles are mostly armored, and infantry are mainly used for capture. It can be a nice way to burn munitions, though. B4 Howitzer - used to be good. But in a recent update, they ruined it. Instead of being the amazing weapon that, with one veterancy was capalbe of a precision strike, the B4 howitzer misses everything. They nerfed it so bad, that you need 1 vet to use the direct fire. Useless. KV-1 Heavy tank - Kinda ineffective once you get it rolling. If you can rack up command points with the shock troops, then you can have it early and destroy your enemy. Once they get panthers, you need like 3 KV-1's to hound one to death. The gun is OK, and the armor is nice, but the gun bounces panzer IV's all the time, so it's not useful against armor. You can use it in a 1V1 against the OKW nicely, but in large games its useless against a panther Do i reccomend it? Kinda. I enjoy Urban defense a lot more, and the Partisan tactics look nice (never tried them). This doctrine is sorta like a weaker shock-army doctrine. It's not worth sacrificing the IS-2 and "Fire barrage" For the recon flight and howitzer (since the 203 is useless now). It was a bad buy, and I hope you fellow buyers won't make the same mistake. Remember, all the good things said about the howitzers in the earllier reveiws are a lie. It has changed. (So I guess its not a lie, just not updated)
