Please for the love of god, when you have teched to tier 4 as Soviets and aim to spam Shermans but end up throwing 2 or 3 of them, do not get any more but just spam T34-76s.

All of you fools that lose mostly because you keep trying to make things happen with one sherman after losing 2 or 3. News Flash for you. You can get almost 2 T34-76s for one sherman. You teched for them anyway, get them. Mass them and rape everything.

Thank you

I feel like the real problem youre having is with the infantry spam --> no map control --> no fuel or munis for defenses against tanks.

Yes indeed. As far as I know I tried to describe that yes.

As ostheer you can't really go toe to toe with penals with just grens. You need very unpredictable mg placement (use fog war and pios for vision to ambush and halt penal flanks. I'd get 3 MG's between the two of you and focus on one side and the middle of the map. Once you've stopped the penals from going nuts you should get double mortars to counter the maxims. Slowly move forward and Lay single anti personel mines to discourage flanks on the mgs.

Alright, will give this a shot! Although I still think it might be hard on these complete shotblocker maps. Any ideas for those maps? Like for example Elst Outskirts

GET A 251 HALFTRACK. This'll keep your support weapons and men on the Feild and deny them time to lay demos due to constant pressure. You need a HALFTRACK when going double ostheer.

I must admit I neglect the 251 in favor for a 222. Perhaps this is one of the major mistakes I am making, I will adjust this and try it!

Once you've kept the infantry in check get a p4 (use to defend flanks) and them spam drugs. If its a map with lots of shot blocks lay tellers or reigel AT mines if you have the right doc.

Drugs? Well I find the p4 usually comes slower than the first 2 T34 (one from each opponent). This in combination with the penal ptrs and guard ptrs spam pretty much negates the P4. I sometimes think I am better off 'rushing' a Brummbär. Your thoughts on this?

Properly micro this strategy and they should be completely shut down. Be careful harrassing points with your infantry due to possible demos. Don't dive your tanks.

Ostheer is all about combined arms. Don't lose your support weapons and play defensively. Always make sure your retreat paths are safe.

Copy that!

Thank you!

- 1 to the Pretty Good Gaming review, though.

They said it was a downstep from DOW II and didn't have anything that made CoH2 great. They simply named some great things from the game, which it surely has. It just isn't a good game compared to DOW II. Did you even listen to them lol?

As for the channel, it is a great channel.

Hi there. Me and my arranged teammate in 2v2 (both ostheer) keep stumbling upon 2 players that both spam T34-76s. Most maps we face this strategy on are the ones with the most shotblockers like Elst Outskirts, Pripyat and Schilberg outskirts. But unfortunately we also face this strategy on other maps as well.

First one Soviet player goes engineers into penals and gets them the ptrs upgrade. When I say penals I mean penals, at least 3. The other guy gets engineers and a maxim or two and then proceeds to get guards or penals too. With guards its usually 2 and with penals at least 3. Since Ostheer infantry can't fight these units head on, even pgrens have a hard time vs mass penals, you will lose ground. This then snowballs into both players getting an early T34-76 since they can skip light vehicles as you can't reliably push out 222s since you have almost no map and the mass ptrs spam counters your 222s.

Once the T34-76s start rolling out you are in big trouble. Then one of the guys either saves up for an IS2 or a KV2 and the other gets an su85. We are at a loss as what we can do against this. This synergy seems mighty powerful to us. Add on top multiple demos everywhere and you are in for a treat.

ps. We don't have replays enabled because the better performance is wanted.

Be fine with OKW keeping the Sturm pioneers repair rate while toning down the Mechanized Truck repair rate given they're expensive and have high pop cap. I would argue keeping RE repair rate the same due USF having paper tanks with only the Pershing being it's sole heavy medium tank and a high repair rate would compensate for their fragile tanks. UKF definitely need to be toned down however I'm not certain about Anvil as the Churchill being a meat shield needs to have high HP to be good as it's sole job so Sappers need the repair speed to keep it operational.

In case you forgot,their tank crews can repair crits and their own tanks.
