Soviet tactics

I am unbelievably bad using the soviets, if i go for taanks it takes too long to create a formidable amount or if i go generally for infantry the anti tank forces aren't good enough to take them down. also i know it is irrelevant but when i spawn soviet anti tanks guns they come out as a blue square and stay that way anyone got any comments on this

all the soviets good units have been nerfed or made innefective

so i dunno what to tell you good luck

red have you nothing else to do than talking the whole day bullshit?

its realy sad to see which way your going...


@dommo
a formidable amount of armor means?

maybe you should try to build only one tank and support it with your infantry. which tank do you normaly go? t34/kv or light support tanks like t70/90?

if you need a 2nd you can also build it but its not the best idea to let the tanks in your base untill you think you have the right amount of them^^

better move it to the front and if it goes low heath move back and repair  ;)

another think which is good to know did you play vs players or vs cpu? it would help to give you advices if we know that

Try using complimenting Strategies and Doctrines. If You go Infantry Strat, use the Breakthrough Doctrine for your Tankovy. Earmark some of your resource production to Atrillery. A 120mm mortar or two and a properly sited Firebase will turn your frown upside down.

What you describe is too general. Try posting a replay so we can give you more personal advice.

Red's just butthurt that his Soviets aren't drastically OP anymore.

usually i play vs players coz im not very good tbh, i put tanks at the front but they get destroyed every so often, i try to use su-85's mixed with one or if im lucky 2 is-2's. I use streklys with red banner to try and support the tanks and a few snipers but without camoflage i don't find them to effective
.

oh ok like dennis said we could help you much more if you can upload a replay. but i wouldnt try to support my su85 with an is2 (is2 comes much later and is more expensive than t34/kv) so maybe you should try to support them with these tanks.

about the sniper teams
try to get them into cover. there thy will be cloaked and dont stay with them the whole game at the same place

^^omg allied units can actually kill axis units and get away with it in this mod and arent nerfed beyond recognition by angry wehr fanboys?!  :o

whats the website

We'd really appreciate it if you just dropped your balance concerns. If you do not have any productive to bring to the mod then shut the hell up, we're really sick of your trolling around here. Yea yea yea the soviets are UP and the axis are OP and we're all fanboys and all the bullshit, we put up with it for now but I think I can speak for others when I just say I'm sick of your consistent bitching. The axis got a minor buff in their early game, so what? Learn to play the fucking game. Of course if something was too overpowered that you couldn't survive it regardless of skill of a player, then we'd look into it.

In the words of another "If a faction is too strong to where you win regardless of skill then you break the game and it is no fun."

He's not talking about the axis, he's talking about the soviets and your consistent whining to keep them from getting nerfed.

Don't pull that level 14 bullshit anymore either. Yea, I saw that replay VS Yauz. Your excuse of "but axis are OP OMG" is bullshit. You lost because of your skill. At the time Yauz was a level 10 and he flattened you crazy.

Lvl 14 Soviet Union? I fought communism gave all players equal levels. (Lvl 1) :P :)

Nah Red is allegedly lvl14 US. Red and Yau had a vCoH battle. Rank for Soviets still can't work :(.

Holy shit it's like you're either a 13 year old kid or you've gone INSANE...

anywho back to actual tactics should i build 34s and support with 85 or other way round and what infantry can go with them

it depends always on the situation

the best way to help you would be if you could upload a replay of your last game

Its important if you play 1vs1 or 2vs2.

In a 1vs1 i would go for light tanks after you have chosen one t2 upgrade. Then go for t90 (1 or 2), when your opponent is PE you can build a t70 also (dont fear the ATHT it can be easily destryoed; watch out for marders!!). Then depending of your map control you can go for heavy tank upgrade or build a SU85.

In a 2vs2 1 ally can go fast tanks (meaning a t90 should be on the field under 10min ingame)

Infantry support is 3 consis in the beginning, then strelkys with red banner or the other upgrade (i dont remember name) if you play more defensive.


Thats very basic and can change depending what doc you choose. F.e. if you go breakthrough you have a early AT the SU76 (dont need a Su85 and can go for heavy tanks instead)

Personally i would go rather for the t34 than KV´s

something like that ;D

thanks for the suggestions but i dont noe how to upload replays and i play vs comp and it said no replays of player vs comp

i think if you upload the replay here its ok because we want to help you to get better :D

just zip the replay (you can also use the last not saved replay, this is the temp.rec file) and upload it her

im sure we can help you

ill try but i did actually win my last match although it was generally down to my allies coz they supported my troops i think

so i have taken a look at the replay

1st on which version of eastern front you are playing? i get es sync error which normaly shows you that you played on another version

2nd it would help much more to see how you play in a 1vs1

3rd we need another replay because this replay shows only that you build 5 ingenerys and nothing else. also all other armys build only t1 so we realy needs another replay and this must be played in coh versin 2.602 and ef version 1.40

well ive done updates 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 i thought that was it and i dont noe why it did that with the start of the game and ill do a 1 vs 1 now

Dude... that stuff is obsolete. Don't know where you get it but it wasn't from the download button on our front page nor from the ModDB page.

Download the last version, the full installer for 1.40.

Remember to uninstall that stuff and check inside CoH folder that Eastern_Front folder and other EF files don't exist.

well i downloaded the actual game from here and when i donloaded them other updates stuff changed like guards prices went down etc but i installed the actual game from moddb

no if you donwload the version 1.40 full you dont need to update it. atm its the current version

you can download it here
http://www.moddb.com/mods/coheastern-front/downloads/eastern-front-140-full
moddb

or here
_full.exe]http://www.gamefront.com/files/20369063/EF_Setup[IP address redacted]_full.exe
gamefront

the strategy you will choose mostly depends on a map you re playing, and for that you need experience..a lots of it... soviets are not Up or OP!for me, balance is great!i just love when some noobs who thinks that they know how to play thinks that the game is unbalanced...

i downloaded it from one of the suggested mirrors but the launcher and the game did not seem as i had seen them, so when i downloaded those it added a few options in the armoury and it made guards go  from 380 man power to 300 man power so they must have done something

300MP guards? What crazy version is this?

yeah like the entire forum, maybe it has something to do with all the axis love avatars and sig banners? just a hunch :-*

You should have the sign "Mr. Troll" instead of "Mr. Spam"  ;D

There is always the possibility to play version 1.0  ::)  (for all the soviet fanboys)

sorry but i realy dont know which version you are playing dommo
this all dosent sounds like 1.40

maybe you shoud erase ef completly and reinstall it then.


@killar

Yeah. Dear RedGuard, please consider following IJoe or quit the fucking trolling around this place!

well i downloaded 1.4 off of the suggested mirrors, and at frist it didnt play ( fixed this now ) i thought it was because of updates so i downloaded those ones i found, when i reinstalled the other day and played with basic version i noticed there was less stuff in the armoury and the guards price had gone up so i thought i must need to download those again and when i did i got some extra armoury items and guards price went down

Please red guard have you poxy argument somewhere else

he is already banned for a week

lol...Anyone read his outburst?

http://www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=787664

Someone should stop his defamation rage attacks. If there's actually someone out there who should believe in his delusion bullshit, it could harm EF. That's what I don't want to see happening.  :-\

"bunch of axis fanboys infiltrated the dev team and the balance team"

HAHA loled so hard. He is like IJOE. Did you ease him on monetary or what happened?

Maybe we should secretly make a patch in with Soviets are OP and just give it to him, no one else. He would be happy :)

He's online atm.. Don't know how he got behind blackys ban, because one week isn't over yet.

online but not able to write a comment

Allright, thanks.
