I know it's 1st of April, but this thread still hurt.

you should learn from your mistakes and when the day comes you might even beat him

I know that would be the base of becoming better, but quoting myself it is also a problem of dedication and time. You can probably become as good as Christiano Ronaldo in terms of playing football if you train every day for 10 years but the thing is that this person literally lives for the sport.

The same goes for players like HelpingHans. CoH is really a big part of their lives, they play multiple ours everyday and even make money out of it by streaming and sharing videos on YouTube.

I could check Ronaldo's moves and immitate his tricks, but in the end he will still be a hundred times better because he doesn't do much else rather than playing soccer and banging some models

I am more the kind of guy who played football (or soccer as some of you heithens tend to call it) for the fun in the local league instead of living for the win or playing tournaments. I have seen this in real life many times as well. Some clubs lose their matches "on purpose" in order to prevent to be placed in a higher league, because they knew that they would get stumped all the time.

And I think CoH is very similar to this "problem" because once you reach a critical rank, you have to choose between either get a 95% sure loss in the next game OR dedicate a lot more time into getting better, which most of us "regular players" simply don't want to.

Don't get me wrong people, I am absolutely okay with this, it's just that I like "analysing" such things :-)

At the end of the day everyone can be beaten. No one is unbeatable. Its just a thing of experience.

You're absolutely right and I really like that attitude :-)
It's just like, I played them almost all... and NEVER won a single match hahaha

It's utter trash design that Brits get Brace while OKW gets nothing.

OKW gets feet and legs and wheels while all British emplacements are immobile.

But with Relic's blatant Allied bias, this is nothing surprising.

Don't throw bricks when you live in a glass house.

As I've noted many times, nothing Axis factions do poses any threat to Allied players, while everything Allies get is threatening to Axis players.

Just an example. Playing as Brits and facing the new OKW Flak HT. If you do not have a AT gun ready before it arrives you have literally nothing to counter it. Nobody uses Piats, especially in that early game face and even if they did, the HT would pin them before they could get in range. Brits don't have any vehicle snares like literally every other faction does. You can get a AEC to counter it which needs research AND building fuel that does not get anything else like the OKW medic HQ does, only to counter a single unit that is still useful in the late game. The AEC is not. Additionaly, the HT can pen and destroy a snared AEC.

You want to take out a British emplacement? You have to commit obscene resources to doing so because of Brace making them effectively invincible, and even if you succeed, that doesn't set the enemy back one bit because of the ludicrous resource income disparity between Brits and Axis factions (same for USF and Axis factions, with USF being able to field an equal or greater number of infantry AND build emplacements).

When I play Brits, I always struggle to find manpower to do stuff. One LeIG is the hardcounter for every emplacement the Brits have because it outranges it. It can shoot the mortar pit without getting shot back. Maybe the LeIG sucks against infantry, but playing against OKW as a Brit means building Mortar Pits is a waste of MP.

You want to take out an OKW HQ? You just dedicate a single mortar to it that can't even be counter barraged by the abysmal OKW infantry support gun that gets instawiped due to lack of retreat whenever it's rolled outside the base.

You can turn that argument 180 degrees as well. You want to take out a Brit emplacement? Just dedicate a single LeIG to it that can't even be counter barraged by the Brit Mortar that can't do shit because it cannot fire as far on its own.

One thing I'd love to see added, I mean coh 1 had it.

Random faction choice

Maybe I don't know who I want to play as

I think they didn't implement that to CoH2 because of the commander system.
