Sometimes, or all the time, we come out of a match, battered, confused and absolutely disappointed with ourselves as human beings, but enough about sports, let's talk about COH2.

Where it's exactly the same (angry shouting and all).

We all have THOSE matches, you know. The ones where you somehow put the machine gun down pointing AWAY from your enemies. The ones where you lose your best tank to a solitary AT gun and the guy that does nothing but blob and spams art wins.

No? Just me? Well, I would like to tell you about one of those matches, but I still want people to consider me as a COH2 player, not a blob of flesh that just recently learned the difference between right-click and left-click

So I'll leave it to you guys to share your darkest, bleakest, stupidest moments in COH2

I can't think of anything for myself at this time but I can guess one of HelpingHans's moments. lol.

EDIT: Actually, I would say the most frustrating moments for me lie on when the path finding on tanks/vehicles get screwed up and they drive arse first towards the enemy or even take a long time to move at all.

Or when you have an intense fight with a lot of control groups and you send the wrong group to advance on the enemy like your mortar squads because you couldn't look down at the keyboard..

What about retreating the full health Squad instead of the almost dead one?

I don't usually have those of myself. However, I was just in a game where a teamate was on the other side of a building where 2 stugs where, with his single Jackson. He could have not engaged and gotten out of range, nope he engaged from the front. Got 1 shot off before going boom.

I can't remember precisely but mostly 2vs2 games vs Double OKW.
1vs1 when I lose it's usually a stomp that ends quickly.

*caveat emptor only applies to ostheer, who also have skill planes (and stuka DB).

OKW shoots them down without even paying attention lel.

Basically this whole match.

Not only did I play extremely poorly, but this was the first loss in a 20-something loss that took me from the mid 400s to nearly 2,500 in the (old) leaderboards. That ISU though...

I was also a lot worse a few years ago and have learned a lot. :clap:

I'm still mad I let myself lose this game against Hans, after my plan worked so well in the beginning.

+1 Happens to me every time. Even worse when M20 is charging at my Sniper.

I want to order sniper to retreat and gren to faust M20 and end up with retreating grenadier squad and dead sniper :D

Retreating my tactical combat group in wrong position so that my units retreat through the other player's blob with the result that my army disappears.

Ah yes, when you need the Sherman to help control the OKW Blobs, but it gets countered instantly by a Call-In vehicle.

And when Osteer gain Fuel advantage, you will rush PzIV to nailled USF into the coffin.
But horde of M10s and Bulldozer say no !!!

Happen to me everytime when I play Osteer against USF ...

And everytime i play against Osteer too LUL.
Seems like M10 or die for USF atm ...

And it's not like 90% of call ins are allies.

Like "shit i couldn't even think about a balanced build order and i fucked up, here let me call in sherman/m10/bulldozer as instant counter.l so i can also nullify any hard fought fuel advantage with tech dodging.

:banana:

Yeah, its not. Callin meta goes both ways. Brits are probably the only one not callin dependent, even then you can argue it based on what you consider callin meta.

Maybe it's worth noting that only allies have call ins that can effectively dodge teching ?

Still need to find the match where ost relied on puma/command pnz/stug E whole match and didn't get a stug.

Armored company call in and m4 sherman can EFFECTIVELY replace top tier tanks.

That's the big problem here, not call in, but call ins that can avoid teching.

Quite a difference isn't it ?

Like i said, only axis call in that can eventually let players skip teching is command panther, but okw player can call only one, and won't benefit other armor with aura.so you basically get a worse panther than normal roster with useless bonus that won't benefit anything (except puma).

Protip: that's why modders decided for a non teching fuel penalties for such call ins before relic saved such crap :thumbsup:

The reason Armor company can replace "top tier tanks" is because the US top tier is absolute trash, unlike axis counterparts. And it's only the m10s that are great, the Dozer is wicked unreliable.

Call-in meta is a problem on both sides, only a very biased player would suggest otherwise. Mechanized Assault was one of the biggest call-in offenders before Stug-E nerf.
