Hearing Hans get so frustrated with the soviet player spawning so many T70's is like hearing Gordon Ramsey lose his shit and call someone a donut

Shock Troops are basically Stalin's personal Terminator Squad composed of Slavic Supermen a la Superman Red Son.

[@aisir3725]

And he said shock army was meh

[@bcordone]

@@aisir3725 Shock Army might be meh there's other doctrines that come with Shock Troops like Shock Rifle Frontline Tactics. IMHO shock troops themselves as a unit are expensive but well worth it since they're pretty damage spongey because of their armor value + their PPSH's will rapidly shred through infantry although you need to spend a lot of your focus on microing the shock troops up close since they do more damage the closer you get. They also start with frag and smoke grenades which give them limited counterplay to MG nests. The frag grenade itself has a short timer and subtle + fast wind-up animation compared to molotovs. Basically vs Infantry Shocks are extremely effective but MG nests can easily suppress them and they're pretty much helpless against vehicles.

[@aisir3725]

@@bcordone ikr shock troops are awesome, my favourite part is rushing through a smoke that germans popped they never expect this for some reason, but i like shock army because of awesome mortar and assault package moves conscripts in s tier for even more flexibility and mass suppression comes in handy in late game

[@irefusetopaytaxes7558]

@cicatriz nah just smoke and run in, they're litteraly your own personal kill squad.

[@juandelata]

@@aisir3725 it's meh for people who can't use them properly

[@reimuhakurei2123]

i love how hans face is almost dead inside watching that match xD

[@user-cl4kc4st7z]

I think that there is no random fight. They do it on purpose.

[@rhythmmandal3377]

penals have higher combined dps at long range compared to all other starting infantry (rifles, sections yes even sections in cover, volks,and grens) + they are tankier than them too. And shocks have enough defense that even g43 pgrens/stromies behind heavy cover with full range vision loose to them while they charge in.

[@rosaparks6479]

I mean, they're also 80 manpower more, and teched for close range...

[@technoci3474]

Yes and no. Cuz open road is deadzone. Even for shock charge..

[@Ashmole3]

Great video. I used the maxim build since I'm an "old school" player who took a break from the game. Something I'd recommend is using attack move with your machine guns while your conscripts are forward so they'll auto deploy when the conscripts see the enemy. Attack move in general is good for support weapons of you're trying to cover multiple avenues of approach because they'll stay in the "ready to deploy" animation until they see an enemy.

[@WizardsDen55]

Hans, thanks for the break down of Soviets, and honestly the best thing about this video was you breaking down a real game, i learned so much from what you were saying about this and that, i'm currently a level 7 player with most armies and would love to get over that hump, would love for you to break my game play lol. but anyways, i would suggest you do more videos where you break down the game play in the future, just pick better players lol. thanks again. please keep training us! lol

[@deathfromabove7431]

Hans you have no idea how amazingly helpful these are :D

[@Akeno0002]

The reason he uses the T-70 is in my theory morale. Maybye if he keeps rushing and crushing those squads the OKW will somehow be scared of them. When he saw pumas maybye he thought is tactic was working

[@artificialintelligence8328]

Old but the T-70 is useful for range if u can keep it alive late game.

[@patrykK1028]

He kinda forced that Raketenwerfer spam, which only worked for OKW like once in the match

[@samwu1836]

That OKW player was me in my early days... so screwed. I also ended up scratching my head when I lost xD.

[@technoci3474]

Welcome to the COH2 community 😉

Was fun ! Boy sometimes like feels good ;) that T70 frenzy was nuts ans loosing a panzer IV like that !!

Helping Hans, the family friendly Gordon Ramsey of COH2. *F*** dis shiz*

[@randomstuffc.j.o1408]

The static arty actually helped me hold the line for like a good long while by slapping capture areas with shells, I had like 2 on the range so I just slapped infantry, we ended the game on a stalemate.

[@tonynovascotia1]

Dec 2019 your video was very helpful thank you

[@ktostam5736]

I think Artjem was just role-playing soviets i.e. making and losing lots of infantry and tanks, thats why he wouldnt make them retreat or do stupid rushes, sounds like something that Soviets would do in 1941 before they pulled out old commander from gulags

[@DueRag]

2 hours? I'm gonna need to order take out...

[@mrbank3453]

Didn't expect you here

[@ioannisschoinopoulos1359]

Wait so in theory you can have something like shock troops or penals composed entirely out of conscripts?

[@HelpingHans]

Ioannis Schoinopoulos Could be possible, but whenever you reinforce from the base it will be shock models that come out.

[@howtoguro]

They don't get armor though, but they're like cheaper ppsh conscripts

[@patchworkpants]

This is so useful! I've been playing as OKW but my friends who got in on the free weekend prefer the allied teams so I'm going to use the Soviets as my secondary team for now. When are you going to release a OKW bootcamp?

[@flytie3861]

Hans: learn from ur mistakes New players: No

[@rsplayz7777]

This was a great video mate, stream followers are a little distracting it makes too much noise btw! But watched all learned a lot, and you narrating the game was really fun im gonna look for more stuff. They seemed even worse than me but probabaly watching from birds eye its easy to judge, but seeing without fog helpmed me a lot i gotta tell!

[@PROJECTJoza100]

That replay was pretty funny.

[@roccozocco9630]

Thanks Hans, helping me with coh2. I'm helping Hans with mathematics. 1:20:15 So you know exactly how many commanders the soviets have. 8 * 2 + 6 = 22 :)

[@DjembefoIa]

Thx Hans. Could you do an early game anti blobbing tactic for allies. Especially USF :)

[@howtoguro]

SU76 really needs a revamp or change. I haven't built one or seen them very much in play shortly after the munitions barrage nerf. I'd like to see its anti-vehicle capabilities toned down, range increased to make it a more true mobile indirect arty piece, It just fits the soviet faction better. It's not too crazy or historically inaccurate.

[@RobertLRyan]

great video, thank you

such a clown fiesta at the end :D ty for the laugh hans!

[@jabloko992]

Helping Hans which Soviet Commander would you recommend if I really want to use Shock Troops?

[@v4enthusiast541]

Depends on if you’re playing 1vs1/2vs2 or 3vs3/4vs4. The shock troop+incendiary+IS-2 is currently good in all modes at the moment.

[@arturojr.fastidio7629]

1:20:17 one, two, three... 16 + 6 = ........... brain loading complicated algorithm and delivers 24 ??? yes 24 commanders Hans is amazing, his brain can handle super complicated situations in the game with ease, so by the nature it tends to over complicate simple math :D

[@yerr234]

what are your computer specifications?

Can the katyusha move while it's firing the barrage, and if so, does it continue firing or cancel the ability and put it on cooldown?

Does not

If you have a Penal batallion squad with 3 man penals and 3 man conscripts will the passive ability work as if they lost 3 penals?

[@ghostdivision6877]

Also, will the whole squad receive the bonus or only the penal batallion models?

[@HelpingHans]

That’s a good question I imagine the whole squad would receive the buff. I think it’s just the armor values are different.

[@helpinghelper4151]

Great question, idk if i ever seen that come up, i think it applies to con models as well, but guess someone should test it out

Yes. No matter what clothes the cons wear,, they are locked as Penal squad.

But its so damn annoying those assault grenadiers just instantly kill my troops because of the quantity he has them in. Please give me some tips on how to counter this.
