I have seen that happen to Knights as well. They dont seem as good as before. HOWEVER, PE inf now kicks some major butt! MP44 vet squads rack up 80+ kills in a game mostly killing conscripts, but still.

I dont mind the bombing and such... really the easiest way to deal with it is to just run. The only exception to that is if they do it in your base, but if that is happening you are probably losing anyway!

Capt. Malashenko,
Good point. Perhaps we were used to the german tanks being top dog. We will have to adapt, tread-buster plus marder is a good suggestion Zerstörer.

Mr Iglooman,
I am not saying they cannot be killed. I have killed many! The problem is they move faster than most german tanks and are just as deadly, plus their armor seems WAY better. Like I said before. Post a replay of your conquests with your magic panther, because I have not seen that be affective and yet I mirco too bro everyone does. That is not the issue. Just played a game right now where again my ally had the King tiger and shells were bouncing off the IS-2 I used anti tank nades, and had 3 squads of panzershrek teams with 8+ attack hit it 4 times THEN I had my marder come from behind and FINALLY kill the damn thing.

wish I had the replay but I don't think I saved it. The biggest issue is that the IS-2 doesn't take much damage. The panzershrek teams seem to be more effective but at one point in the same game I had 3 full vet PE teams with 8+ damage fire 4 times each into rear armor and the IS-2 still had enough life to crawl away! The problem then was his sniper ace started shooting up my inf and I had to run too.

Not everything in this game has to be realistic... it is more about balance with relation to the other factions while keeping some idea of realism... but not realism for its own sake.
I just posted a new thread on the IS-2 I suggest reading about what happened to me in fighting those monsters. They are way OP!

I understand this tank is "beast" with thick armor and one of the largest guns in the game HOWEVER, in playing a game the other day with my brother we as the Germans had 2 panthers a jagdpanther with attack2 and def1 and my bro had a Tiger with full vet and 2 squads of full attack vet PE gren with 8+ AT. Ok... so we were fighting 3 IS-2 tanks and tired to target them one at a time... result... NOT ONE IS-2 died and we lost every tank and my inf had to retreat!

Ok replying to my own post but I forgot to make a possible balance suggestion. Perhaps some changes to the damage the IS-2 takes... the biggest issue I see that the damn thing doesn't die. Plus a limit on how many of these monsters can be on the field my be a good idea. I have seen as many as 5 at a time really that is like the germans having 5 tigers on the field!

Modesty is a virtue, I would say... and I would think many would agree that you guys are by no means amateurs. Of course there are bugs and balance issues any RTS has that. Great mod!

I really hope that Relic is paying attention too! I remember talking to my brother about needing a Russian army and that was 2 years ago! TOV totally sucked, it really should have just been an update! EF is awesome!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!

the fact that they can't run is a huge advantage if you ambush the russian inf! My first game online I played at PE and caught 4 squads of Strelky and killed every last one because they couldn't run! Ambush and hitting hard and fast is the way to beat them!

I think the most OP unit in the Russian army is the sniper team. They are very cheap, you get them right away and when paired with a eng unit you can walk around killing inf all day. I had pair of snipers in one grouped unit of inf and each team got around 50 kills by the end of the game!

the Russian mortars are very powerful, HOWEVER, if you play as PE you can easily counter by rushing the hordes of russian troops with your superior infantry. I would just rush the mortar.
