Thread: Classy Soviets17 May 2014, 20:12 PM My opponent must be right. I am a terrible player! In: Replays
Thread: RNG loves Soviets17 May 2014, 18:42 PM This is the second Soviet game I played today, the first time in months; literally. This was a horribly executed triple sniper to Guards opening; I lost all three snipers, built one or two more, then lost them too. My T34 ended up saving the day - twice - with a sliver of health and miraculously destroyed the P4 on both occasions. It's honestly hilarious. In: Replays
Thread: Double Assault Grenadiers rocks!17 May 2014, 18:40 PM This is pretty awesome... It's always nice to see dead Soviets errywhere. In: Replays
Thread: I hate TM-35 Mines.11 May 2014, 02:43 AM I hate them so much. I lost five Grenadier units from them. I managed to win though, thank God. Not every mine wipe was a full health squad, but I think I lost only one gren and one pio to enemy action... I want a German mine that kills infantry squads. And one that doesn't have silly little signs around it. In: Replays
Thread: German abilities rarely seen9 May 2014, 04:19 AM I used to use the smoke bombs a lot. I'd often drop them on enemy tanks (because I wouldn't realize they didn't do damage; i just saw a Stuka and said... Stuka kills tank. Use Stuka) but I think arty smoke drops. A good way to fool the enemy into retreating a blob or backing up tanks. The problem is that it's only on a few (or even one?) doctrine. I think we should buy abilities rather than commanders and create our own mix, with some guidelines as to what you can put in a commander. (i.e, not all passive abilities, not all airstrikes, etc.) In: Strategy Desk
Thread: CoH2 in a nut shell6 May 2014, 20:16 PM I am so so so so sorry Basilone... I watched the game. All of it. It must have been an incredible feeling when Alastor lost... It was really, honestly, ridiculous. Imagine if, somehow, by some miracle, both of your tigers were destroyed... I think I would have sold my computer and lived in a monastery because there is just too much "bullshit". In: Replays
Thread: Intense 1 Hour. 1v1 4 May 2014, 17:26 PM A game I just played... and lost. It was well played by both sides, but ultimately, the game was decided by VPs. In the last 2 or 3 minutes I lost alot of my squads due to poor simultaneous micro... If someone would like to look at this and give me their opinion of what to do differently, that'd be appreciated. I think I may have been better off replacing my lost MGs, or at least keeping one late game. There's a brief ISU-152 v. Elefant match in the end... German Engineering > Soviet tractors although neither vehicle actually got destroyed... The game is a good display of the importance of combined arms (and the effectiveness of AT guns against infantry units) In: Replays
Thread: Ostheer Sniper: NO laughing matter4 May 2014, 17:19 PM A good game on Semoskiy Winter... a lot of fun. I won (thank God... I've been losing a lot since last patch, especially to the Sherman. I've got a lot of gripes about that tin can) and used a sniper for most of the game until he died in the late game. He played well though. I didn't see how he died... poor bastard. He served the Fatherland well. In: Replays
Thread: Elbe Day Update30 Apr 2014, 22:37 PM I hate the Sherman... for it's cost it's effective - it might even be slightly too effective. In terms of historical accuracy, it's incredibly OP. The thing should burn in one penetrating hit 99% of the time... but hey that isn't balanced at all so I guess it's alright. Just frustrating when a Panther gets penetrated in the frontal armor at long range >_< In: News
Thread: Fun Game; new commanders... Sherman OP?27 Apr 2014, 18:29 PM Here's a 50 minute game on Langreskaya Winter. Both sides played well, but the M4C Shermans cost me the match. Both of us used the new commanders. Soviets relied on a double sniper + con opening and the Germans used a double gren, double MG, mortar opening. Enjoy! In: Replays
