Enjoyed that, cheers lads.

I'm curious and a really brief google did not provide the answer, how much HP does it provide and how long does it take?

I've used it once or twice recently, usually on squads that were down to say 2 men, then i'd use a halftrack to reinforce them and they are back to full health, but I reckon that could be down to how damage was distributed through the squad (i.e. the other two lads caught the bullets for the most part).

Just wondering really, I know at 20 munitions they are purposefully not designed to be a long term efficient solution to your healing needs, but i've been playing around with the Jaeger armor doctrine (one with the Elaphant+Riegel mine), so hence trying to use the halftrack more as the teller mine is currently bugged and the Riegel I believe is better (don't quote me on that!).

It just occurred to me, that even if it is not the most efficient means of healing, I don't mind sacrificing some early game efficiency for a better, more efficient mid game by securing territory through brute force. I suppose just growing a pair and building my standard med bunker in a forward position would be an option, but that is sort of map dependent.

I reckon it could have some good synergy with the halftrack and large t1 play, but maybe i'm barking up the wrong tree as few ever use the med packs and I have not really got to test it in a proper tight game.

Any help would be appreciated, cheers!

Sure that's why I'm not going to preorder it.
I don't see the point in preordering WFA because there is not really a reward if you do it.
We don't get any TOW scenarios for free and no commanders at all (which is not a bad point, but still).

I won't take the high risk of preordering a game with a mostly unknown gameplay just because of some free skins.

I think its pretty sensible to avoid preordering as a general rule of thumb, for the above reasons.

COH2 imo is allot about reading what your opponent is doing and countering it as the game has allot of hard counters compared to soft one's.

So watching replays/streams and playing games should get you up to speed adequately. Von Ivan, Stephennif and Luvnest in particular are high level players who during streams explain the game if you ask them politely why they are doing things.

Sorry I can't be more specific, but that's my thoughts on how to learn coh2.

Edit: Also, territory is more important then the manpower game in COH2 imo. As you gain all kinds of resources from points.

just spam cons...no skill
6 conscripts and Oorah. Even facing mg42, you still do so.
I dont think you deserve the win

Sorry to hear you think that, but a 6 con opening has a few scaling issues as DanielD points out. The wiring and MG42 usage early game really presented a problem to a strat that relies on aggression and early game dominance. If you're having problems vs this kind of build, play Ostheer more concertively and with proper placement of units, on most maps you'll come out ahead unless the Soviet executes some great flanks.

@DanielD, Cheers, only when starting on the West Side do I usually go a con heavy build on this map as usually you can push the cutoff's pretty hard and maybe even steal an MG42 with a flank, which is effectively gg. When neither happened, I knew I was gonna need AT fast and felt after the 1st Zis i'd need another as Stug E's would not be far off. Without a Maxim as you say, its hard to hold ground and as MG42's gain vet and Grens get LMG's, its a losing manpower war with soviet infantry.

I usually do heal up my AT guns, but for some reason in this game I was really afraid if I lost the middle when they were healing, i'd not have enough to push if he made a hard point there, so I settled on using the camo ability which is really cool!
