First off, I do not know who your opponents are, so I my comments are unbiased.

#1 A total of three British emplacements build the entire game is cheesy? Really?.... Really?

#2 Team BPX building fuel caches and waiting for Panthers = pro play? Really?.... Really?

Attention British players: According to Team BPX, building a total of 3 emplacements throughout the entire course of a 2v2 game is considered cheese - even if the doctrine selected was designed for an emplacement strategy.

Also important pro tip: If you decide to play as Axis, make sure you build a bunch of fuel cache and hold out for Panthers.

USA vs Wehr

Has anyone else experienced this? I just played a 1v1 game. My opponent was literally throwing away his assault grenadier squads and units in general, but in spite of the worst unit preservation I have ever seen in all the games I have ever played, he was 22 victory points away from winning. At his peak he was 464 victory points to my 22 victory points.

I went back and watched the recorded game. I squad wiped:
12 assault grenadier squads! These are 280 manpower a pop!! - that alone is 3,360 manpower down the drain
2 mg42 teams
1 pio squad
1 mortar team

I also vaporized:

1 Panzer 4 that killed only 8 infantry & 0 tanks/vehicles 0 AT guns before it died
1 Panzer 4 that killed 0 infantry & 0 tanks/vehicles 0 AT guns before it died
1 Tiger that killed 0 infantry & 1 Sherman only before it died

My opponent threw almost no grenades - I dodged the few he did
I successfully dodged all 3 of his off map artillery strikes
I avoided mg suppression for the most part

He surrendered after I killed his tiger - 336 victory points to my 21.

I ended with 932 spare manpower, and 82 pop cap worth of units, including: Lieut, Captain, 3 infantry squads that were all vet 3, and a vet 2 Sherman.

In the end I lost WAY fewer squads - I lost:

1 RE
1 Lieutenant
1 rifle
2 50 cal
1 sherman

All this to say: CoH2 clearly does not penalize you enough for squad wipes. I played a ton of CoH1, and you could never sustain the number of squad wipes my opponent did, and have even a snowballs chance in hell of winning, let alone bring your opponent down to 22 victory points while only dropping to 464.

I just want to know if I am the only one that thinks this is beyond ridiculous, or if there are others that feel the same way as me. I know way back in CoH2 Beta, Sepha made a similar comment, so I don't think I am alone in this.

The other thing that annoys me with CoH2, is I frequently have to worry about hitting pop cap. That was pretty rare in CoH1.

I saved the reply if anyone wants to see it.

I am not very good at CoH2 so why do get automatched against players like Siberian?
