Thread: Struggling against USF in 1v11 Dec 2015, 10:56 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2015, 09:50 AMMadeMan I did a bit better tonight, but still got overrun by infantry it feels like. Any tips on what I did wrong here? I was sloppy with micro obviously, but I haven't been playing much recently. http://www.coh2.org/replay/45522/ost-v-us-infantry-dilemma A few things I've noted, and against USF it's mainly early game: 1) MG42 positioning. I would keep it covering your cut-offs, instead of moving around all the time and supporting your Grens. 2 Grens can stand up to a single Rifle squad at range. 2) Sniper. I would say that you are using your Sniper far too aggressively. Always keep it behind your Grens when advancing. See Paul a.d.'s 75-kill sniper game for excellent Sniper usage. A question: why would you go Mechanized doctrine if you had Assault Support and Jager light infantry? In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Struggling against USF in 1v11 Dec 2015, 10:39 AM Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2015, 02:10 AMMadeMan I take it you use the MGs to hold fuel? Do you not have issues with Rifles forcing a retreat on your MGs with smoke or just flanking with numbers? That's the issue I always run into at least. Interesting use of PGs though, I do like PG Shreks. Do you find you need to leave out healing bunker to get Shreks? Jump back to quoted post1 Dec 2015, 02:38 AMJunaid Hmm. Guess I'll try this too. Always thought its too risky cause of risk of losing an mg early on Fuel is important, I do cover it with MGs (at least a portion of the point). I keep MGs in buildings, and yes, Rifle smoke grenades are a huge hassle. That's why MGs need to be close enough to support each other (move a bit, reposition). So when you get smoked, you don't retreat the MG42, you just move it a little backward. If you have the time, you can barb wire around your MG42 positions so that it's hard to rush at it/ catch it out of position. Yes, the problem with this is very weak early game, and losing an MG is always bad. That's why I try to hop from building to building; this way, if I should lose an MG, the USF player can't turn it against me. Medic Bunker is critical, as PGs are not damage soakers. Just avoid laying mines (even tellers) and avoid PG grenades until you get a Shrek. EDIT: Replay. No smoke, but quite some aggressive cut-off action. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Struggling against USF in 1v11 Dec 2015, 00:48 AM All my 1v1 losses are verses USF so far, but I have won before going T2 rush. Here's my build order: Pio MG42 MG42 BP1 T2 222 PGren PGren PGren PGren with Shrek The two pios give you capping power (normally I get on VP drain ASAP) and spot for MG42s, MG42s are apart but close enough to move and cover each other. Reposition after every engagement so there's always an element of surprise. 222s hard-counter M20 rushes and kite riflemen. After 5 min though, I only use it to support MG42 b/c it gets screwed if AT-naded. PGrens are excellent verses Rifles until they get LMGs, Flamers, or double BARs. Keep them in cover, avoid bundled grenades unless you see a blob/ garrison (just throw it at the door). PGren with Shreks counter Stuarts pretty hard, since it can't flank and avoid getting shot at. Tellers and S-mines are great, don't forget. In: Ostheer Strategies

Thread: Halftrack-Type Vehicles Vet Needs Reworked26 Nov 2015, 06:44 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Nov 2015, 05:33 AMZombiFrancis Well, ATGs being fielded before any vehicles can feasibly built does have a lot to do with it, but that was sort of my point: a hulldown ability could give halftracks a bit of durability. Enough at least so that one could absorb an extra blow or two could make that cover viable could make all the difference. But furthermore, the fact that infantry scatter at the slightest twitch of movement has another thing to do with it. Having units stay in cover is a rather important aspect of utilizing its benefits. It'd be hard to use the cover even if you tried. Non-doctrinal all-faction halftack hulldown is a bad idea. Those WM commanders' uniqueness would be robbed. And doing this promotes turtling (defensive gameplay.) I like ZeroLithium's idea. Mobility to kite for Vet 2, survivability for Vet 3. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What should I buy after 3MG + 3 Panzergren?24 Nov 2015, 00:49 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Nov 2015, 17:43 PMScaletta well I can go T1 (in case I call out Ostruppen) and my teammate is a OkW player, and my enemy is UKF I don't have Ostruppen, but from what I can tell, they don't scale into late game well. But yeah, early WM snipers are great verses UKF. Just keep your eyes out for an AT sniper's counter-snipe. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: What should I buy after 3MG + 3 Panzergren?23 Nov 2015, 02:02 AM Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2015, 21:07 PMAirborne If you are against a UKF a early sniper is a very good choice. I would disagree, since he probably skipped T1 and rushed T2. I've been skipping T1 for quite a while now, and verses UKF (evem with AT sniper spam) PGrens are viable. Just don't let them have the range advantage over you (keep them behind an LoS blocker). PGrens wipe AT Sniper in under 2 seconds, while MG42 can be good bait. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: suppression and the OKW...21 Nov 2015, 07:03 AM I would suggest moving the MG34 to T1, replaces Kubel. Move Kubel to Luftwaffe Doctrine, 1CP, 210MP 5 FU. Fortification gets IR HT instead of MG34, 4 CP, same cost. Move Obers to BHQ and lock LMG34 to Mech/Schwerer, IR StG44 from SpecOps unaffected by tech. In: COH2 Balance
