i'm not really a strategy guy, but my buddy told me to play CoH 2. I started the Soviet campaign on easy mode. Why's this shit so fash, and does it get any better?

The campaign does not get better, I try to dissuade people from buying this game and Relic stuff in general because they doubled down on the pro-fascist, anti-communist propaganda after Russian players understandably called them on it.
But if it's too late for a refund then I recommend trying the Spearhead mod. Basically it gives all of the armies a historical authenticity makeover, especially the Soviets, so they actually have competent infantry rather than just conscript suicide squads, domestically produced MGs, etc.
It's actually a lot of fun to stomp Nazi computer enemies. If you end up liking the skirmish mode then maybe we could play some coop or something, Soviets vs. Wehrmacht.
I was looking for that, thanks. I didn't buy it specifically but got it from a humble bundle one time.
You're welcome, yeah, the mod actually gives them several different semi-authentic orders of battle that are tailored to six different doctrines, with actual historical units and even guerrillas like Belorussian Irregulars.
At least you didn't pay full price for it (I got it on sale for like, less than $5 lol). Actual respectful depictions of the Soviets in any WWII-themed game are few and far between.
:gamer-gulag:
Yeah. People were telling me to just ignore the story but even just the basic mechanics of Soviets as some swarm army taints the whole thing.
And yeah, even the few good depictions are filled with unfortunate tropes (Call of Duty World At War, for example).
