33% win rate may not be that bad with only a month of playing. This means you are in a lower rank group where most games you will have people crashing on load or dropping after losing an engagement. So keep playing.

ALWAYS RESTART YOUR COH2 AFTER TWO GAMES MAXIMUM!

4v4 MENTALITY
OST is a great faction to learn for 4v4 because you have access to all of the tools you need to win. However, in 4v4 you need to adjust to your partner. What they lack you may need to make.

OKW PARTNER OPENING
Each match usually starts with a two per side fuel rush. Look at your partner. If he is OKW he will not have access to MGs, mortar, or smoke. So making MG42 and mortars can be a good idea. If your partner likes to blob be prepared that he will not help cover you after he retreats(this is when team weapons can become a bad thing). So support him, then be prepared to fall back when he retreats his blob or you will get run over. If the map is choked/narrow, once OKW pushes people out you can lock down territory with your MGs and bunkers. Then try to hold.

OST PARTNER OPENING
OST is a defensive faction. So you need to decide which one of you will be more offensive/mobile. Meaning who will make more grens and possibly snipers etc. It also depends on the map. Some maps are city or close quarter maps so you may want assault grens or a couple flame pios to maximize your close quarter DPS.

ENEMY
You also need to counter what your enemy will make.
Against USF, MGs can be very effective. Be careful of smoke. If they start smoking you can try Mg-covered-by-MG or start making more grens. Snipers can be cancer to USF.

Against BRITs, Snipers and mortars can be good. Keep a gren squad near the MG so you can faust a UC when needed. Dont be too close or the enemy will kite you once they try to attack your MG.

SOV are very hard because they can start a few different ways: Maxims spam, Clown Car, Conscripts. Clown Car and Conscripts can be hard to deal with using an MG since it will be easy to overwhelm and flank. So you need to keep your pios/grens close to the MG to protect it.

HINT: Look at the enemy bases. You can tell from the ground patterns which faction you will be fighting on your side. RECTANGLE-Brits, CIRCLE-USF, Nothing-SOV.

MG PLAY
MGs are great early game. And can help control blobs or protect points late game. But once the enemy has a few mobile units with veterancy, the MG becomes weak and easy to overwhelm. So making grens early and keeping them alive to vet up, gives you a stronger army later. Vetted with MG upgrade they can be very effective.

YOU
If you are new and do not have good micro yet, MGs/mortar may be your best options. Making a sniper requires a lot of micro so you will lose it early and probably lose other units while microing the sniper.

As others have said, do not push with a lone MG. Push your infantry and use the support weapons to ...um... support.


4v4 RULES
1) Mine your flanks. "Mines win games."
2) If you cant get your fuel, move to middle and lock it down. This give you a VP advantage and helps your other team mates from getting flanked.
3) Late game you either need huge tanks or artillery. So look at your teams commanders and try to figure out which one you want. Lefh wins games if you get it to vet 1 so it can counter barrage.
4) Do not start moving all over the map ever. If you take ground, expand from there. Do not win the top then go try to take bottom. You will do nothing for several minutes while moving, lose the top, and walk into a well guarded area and die.
5) 1v1 you can never lose a squad or its GG. 4v4 is more forgiving. But do not stay too long in a fight. It is better to fall back and come back in force with healthy units.
6) Healing wins games.

I dont work much with rails. But you can get started by going to splines:
- At the top there are buttons for textures, objects, etc. You want objects.
- The in the object list go to something like environment\objects\railroads and select TRACK_01 or something.
- Move up to the section labelled DEFAULT and click add, this should put the TRACK object into the list.
- Now go back to the top and select the default radio/option button under OBJECT.
- Right click four times in your map and it should create 4 yellow circles.
- Press ENTER.

I am not at my COH2 PC so these are a little vague.

One of the pros can help you.

You could also try making a STAMP (COPY) in a map you like. Then you can paste the STAMP objects into your map. This can be dangerous so make a backup of your map first in case it gets REKT!

Anybody who gets anywhere near a mine has balls of steel in my book.

1) Yes. After it goes off they will literally have steel in their balls.
2) Yes. Or they have a nagging spouse and children.
3) Yes. Or they have played 4v4 random automatch recently.
4) Yes. Or they are the same people who eat tide pods.

Awesome! Much appreciation to all involved.

All you really should do is just ignore them. They are small minded children. Sometimes people do not speak english so they grab any bad word they can because they are mad.

If it really bothers you, and you did not do anything to make it worse:
1) Save the replay of the match.
2) Upload the replay here(see REPLAY MENU).
3) Make the title "FOR STURMPANTHER".
4) Describe who was saying bad things and about what time. Sturm is busy and does not want to sit thru your whole match. So the more you tell him the better chance the person gets banned from the game. So say something like RedRocket was BMing me at 15:30.

Dont stop playing the game. Just ignore the morons. If you do not reply they may think you dont speak english and stop BMing you.

The best thing is what Bonebleeder says "Thank you for sharing."

Watch VonIvan stream if you want to see ice run thru someones veins. Calmest coolest player ever. Watch him and learn.

Embrace who you are, words mean nothing.
