I don’t play its campaign after hearing about those. Really, it sound like Relic use the same research team from Enemy at the Gate.
The multiplayer meta also encourage playing Soviet in similar way to how western stereotype portray : trading casualties for victory.
Penal squad (that for some reason has self-loading rifle) got really powerful satchel charges, but need to be dangerously close to hostile to throw them, meaning they’re sure to die a lot.
Conscripted squad are even stated in the tooltips to die a lot, and that’s how you supposed to use them, because you can afford to loss a few people in a squad and still remain effective, unlike Grenadier.
T-34 is the cheapest medium tank in game, but, in one of the worst historical bullshit of the game, can barely penetrate Pz.IV armor, while completely at the mercy of Pz.IV superior protection and firepower. But, hey, you can RAM enemy tank with them, a guarantee vehicle loss, but deal crippling damage to whatever it managed to ram.
And probably more that I forgot.
Now that we talked about it, CoH2 has a notorious issue regarding balance, in that if the game went on long enough, the German get undisputed advantage over any allies nation. I’ve once did calculation, and notice that both German factions would be able to crank out mediums almost a full minutes before Allies factions (It take around 210 fuel for German to deploy their first medium, but at least 245 for allies to do the same), and that assuming the players skip unnecessary fuel usage to start producing medium tanks as soon as possible. I don’t play either US or UK, but as Soviet, you probably would wanted to spend another 70 or so fuel on a light tank or half-track, which set you back another minutes.
This mean that German can deploy their medium sooner than allies, and their medium are superior to their allies counterpart. More than that, unlike Allies, both German factions have access to heavy tanks without needing specialized commander, which can call in even heavier tanks.
It make one wonder if Relic HQ have a life-size statue of mustache man inside or something.
Aren’t Relic Brits? It makes sense for then to screech about USSR. Plus I suspect they just suck at balancing. In Dawn of War, their game about Warhammer 40k, each time a new faction was introduced it was a veritable BEAST and had to be nerfed afterwards
