Thread: infantry doctrine, gren can't upgrade15 Dec 2018, 22:42 PM I noticed a bug that my third gren squad was unable to upgrade neither bolster or lmg42. I was using the new infantry and IIRC had two squads with one of the different upgrades each. I don't know if this is visible in the replay, but the options to upgrade the third gren simply wasn't there! 0 VS Tordenskjold sepi 3 gren can't upgrade. by: Joshua85 map: Unknown 1 - In: COH2 Bugs

Thread: How to deal with a well microed Vickers UC and rush to AEC?15 Dec 2018, 18:51 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2018, 16:53 PMCODGUY That one is. It denys the field to everything except medium tanks. Dude I don't know what game you are playing, but if it's coh2 then you are doing it wrong, as is literally opposite. light vehicles are specifically the counter to mgs. MG42 can to some extent work around this when it reaches vet 1 and get incendiary, but my mgs were nowhere near this by the time the UC was wrecking havoc. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Just wanna bounce a build idea around14 Dec 2018, 08:56 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2018, 02:36 AMCODGUY Yes you are forced to rely on 3-4 Riflemen sqauds which have a fairly high cost and pop count and are mediocre units at best. vetted riflemen are the standard infantry with the best recieved accuracy modifiers bar none! They also have easy non doctrinal acess two double lmgs and have a better than average moving accuracy. While it's true that they often underperform for their cost in the early game, it is certainly not the case once they get into the mid- and late game. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: What's the Korean word for smurf? :P12 Dec 2018, 20:31 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Dec 2018, 20:25 PMShadowLinkX37 ...... I mean..... are you? Well actually since we are both living in Copenhagen, we went out for a beer a few weeks ago and will probably go to an 80s' arcade bar next week. After that it will be a third date, and then I guess he might have some expectations In: Replays
Thread: What's the Korean word for smurf? :P12 Dec 2018, 18:13 PM So this guy apparently has only about a dozen hours of coh2, but apparantly has a complete understanding of the mobile defense meta, 251 flame HT, s-mines on retreat paths, brumbar rush etc. If he's not a smurf who took advantage of the free pickup this weekend, then I'm dating Refero In: Replays
Thread: Wehr cutting off USF with ass grens and support weapons12 Dec 2018, 08:52 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2018, 16:19 PMEtherealDragon Without looking at the replay one thing to keep in mind is that M20 is really good at dealing with Ass Grens and Support Weapons. Remember the bazooka crew can take care of bunkers if you completely push him off. I know in live version M20 can feel out of reach if you get locked down super early but if you can scrap together the fuel then you can use it to break the hold. (Easier on some maps than others). PS I totally got PTSD flashback from the one time he got me with the 251 Hail Mary. Such cheese. -.- Yeah he tried doing that to me yesterday as well. Lucikly I had just pushed out a t-70 in the last second, but otherwise I would have been boned. The problem is that part of his "strategy" seems to be to change user name so often that he can still take people by surprise. Otherwise he is so 100% predictable that you can pretty much set your clock to it. In: Replay Reviews
Thread: WTF just happend with the amount of players? 160k?11 Dec 2018, 14:09 PM Let's just hope a fraction of them stays for the multiplayer. Would be a downright shame if they are put off by the atrocious Campaign In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Wehr cutting off USF with ass grens and support weapons11 Dec 2018, 11:27 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Dec 2018, 10:50 AMWoco Thanks for the elaborate reply I mostly just feel motivated to beat this strategy, since it does feel abusive and like it should have a clear weak spot/counter, which i'm trying to find Thing is though, that not many people use this strategy so I don't encounter it often enough to try it out. But fair enough, if the game allows one to use this strategy, who am I to judge. Coincidentally, I actually played another game against him yesterday on Faymonville and he ofcourse did the exact same thing. I went for Captain tech with 1 mortar, but it actually went worse. I did manage to cap quite some territories, but was not able to connect them thus not helping me. My riflemen got bled out severely while trying to get my cutoffs and some vision, which delayed my Captain tech and Pak Howie. Also, it's difficult to get vision for some time without having my infantry blasted away by the double mortars. For now, I think going double mortar, M20 and perhaps followed by AA HT/Stuart (in the new patch) and AT gun (from Airborne commander) could work , as long as the manpower bleed isn't too bad. Hopefully I get to try that out some time. A big problem facing his strategy is the mg spam which overlaps and supresses your men. Soviets and UKF have better conditions for countering this, because they have access to very early game vehicles, but the USF is not so lucky. As such you might try to experiment with mechanized and get the WC51 with riflemen. It's mostly good for the early game, but with this guy theres is nothing other than early game because he is a one trick pony. If you manage to wipe and capture one of his early mgs, he is pretty much guaranteed to quick immediately. Anyway best of luck whatever you decide and I hope you will get your revenge! P.S. I know I still have lots of your replays awaiting review, and will hopefully have time to look at them soon. In: Replay Reviews
