Profile of Theodosios

Thumbs up for Janne, Strummingbird, Eliwood and for Relic making this happen!

I am currently working on the update of my guide. The last patches plus the incoming and Brits change too much in CoH2 to let your guide remain unaltered. My hope is that other guide authors will follow my example.

I think if I tried this I'd get rekt.

Does it work at such Godly ranks, Theodosios? Flame HT is not in the meta at all and a T70 or ZSU would wreck it. I could see my PaK gun getting decrewed by snipers as well.

Those risks are necessary?

If your opponent goes for T1 and builds a Sniper squad he has spent an considerable amount of manpower into one squad which is basically only reliable in shooting your Grens. He cannot push with them without conscript support unless he wants to take huge risks and capping hostile territory is thus also risky especially if your Grens wait behind shot blockers. If you utilize shot blockers in a way Snipers cannot harm you you basically deny this huge manpower investement he made in the early game. Then going fast flamer HT should easily break his Sniper because a) he has no reliable way to counter your flamer HT; just drive away from AT nades; Guards shouldn't be a problem since you didn't let him shoot his Sniper much thus he doesn't have enough CPs; and even if he calls in Guards he delays his T3 manpower wise; if he back techs to T2 he delays his T3 and b) if you push with your Grens and he shoots you with Snipers you can just reinforce; it costs 30 manpower for each model BUT you will win versus his other infantry squads thus forcing his unsupported Snipers back. You take most of the map, get a PaK40 to counter light vehicles, tech further and possibly base pin your foe. If he tries to Sniper his way out hide behind shot blockers in front of his base. Unfortunately CoH2 maps have plenty of them.

And yes, it worked for me.

4x Grens -> Tech up -> Flamer HT is a reliable build order to counter Sniper play. Do not engage on open fields where he can shoot your Grens and withdraw and shoot again. Stay behind shot blockers and defend your territory or capture external territories. If you want to attack then come from multiple directions. Once you got your Flamer HT push together with your Grens (who should reinforce if needed) and be careful about AT nades or Guards. Get a PaK40 as soon as possible to counter light vehicles.

Luchs costs 50 Fuel + 80 Fuel (Flak HQ) + 40 Fuel (Medic or the other HQ) = 170 Fuel.

170 / 5 = 34 fuel per minute.
I don't think that you can get 34 fuel without conversion as OKW even if you own every single sector on the map. Remember the OKW fuel penalty.

What wrecks do you want to salvage in the first 5 minutes?

Legit post except that OKW starts with 40 fuel already thus it's basically 170 fuel - 40 fuel = 130 fuel + fuel penalty required to build a Luchs.
