This is the ONLY reply which I actually enjoyed reading it line by line. I wish there were more people like you in this community to actually do something helpful other than trolling and calling "l2p noob"! Well done and thanks for the time you put into this. And my firefly bounced against a stuka once and i was premade with a friend actually when it happened and we both screamed laughing on microphone.
I really get annoyed by too many unfinished things about CoH2, for example my PC can run BF1 on ultra without an issue with over 80 fps but in CoH2 my menu fps is 15fps and in game i dont get higher than 50 and when a explosion happens it even goes down to 40.
The maps feel like rushed, It seems like Relic did not take time to make a proper map for this game and you are forced to play 4v4 maps in 2v2 games. For example Ettelbruk station is one map that OKW is completely unbeatable in because of how large the map is and OKW can make a safe retreat point to the trucks and too many buildings which can be occupied by OKW infantry. In CoH2 grenades are effective against Buildings as soon as you throw the enemy goes out and comes back inside to avoid damage in less than a second but on other hand OKW has flame grenade by volks which completely disables the building for some time and you are forced to fight them in normal cover in super close quarter map.
I take your advise about not using brens on tommies against OKW next time and go for 5 men squads. I usually only go 3 tommies + fast grenade upgrade and fight with normal rifles and in late game I take brens for vetted troops it always works and I always get full map control but suddenly the zero kill vet 5 units come back and I have to retreat. One retreat and entire map is in the hands of immortal vet 5 units of OKW.
please don't get mad about a few retards hanging around on this forum, sadly most "descent" people left coh2 a long time ago (balance being one of the main reason) and so you won't find a lot of interesting people to speak with.
To briefly summarize the coh2 state and give you an overall view before you decide to spend more time on it :
1. Coh2 balance state is still completely messed up (the more you get knowledge on units stats, the more you realize how some units are freaking OP)
2. Coh2 game design, especially the british faction design is bad. it promotes hard use of emplacement (especially the mortar emplacement which require no micro at all, just build it and let it wype squads) and in the same time offer very few to the people who want to play clever games (like no real AT option in EA except in one commander with the AT tommees)
3. The level of the opponent at high level is
very low , on the last tournament there were people who had left playing coh2 for years and still managed to reach semi-finals and beat some "try hard".
Aimstrong, or DEVM (who reached the final) are barelly playing this game anymore and have beaten the common tryharder like HelpingHans, VonIvan, etc ..
4. As you noticed it, maps are mostly trash at anything higher than 1v1, which i don't recomend you to even try.
In my opinion, you should watch a few replay of HelpingHans who is one of the only to have ever used brits in a tournament to get an idea of the current meta with them but basically it's either all about abusing their mortar emplacement to harass the ennemy and get free wypes, or take the commander which has AT tommees.
In all case, seeing you have been (and maybe still are ?) playing at a descent level, i would bet that you will be bored very soon of coh2 and should try some of the other WWII RTS if that's what you are looking for
