Thread: WC51 new 'M3' spam6 Aug 2014, 17:47 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2014, 17:35 PMjmarks2001 As OKW, don't be afraid to get yourself an early raketenwerfer (like the second or third produced unit early). this can work well if the american actually does build cars. if they dont, youre now a squad down against rifle spam, which already has an advantage over volks and sturms. thats the problem i see with okw early game. countering vehicles is a complete gamble. but if you wait til you see the m3/wc51 it may already be too late due to map control and/or squad wipes on retreat.

Thread: OKW sniper counter6 Aug 2014, 02:04 AM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2014, 00:57 AMPart time commie In this case, artillerie would counter this as said earlier. artillery? you mean infantry support gun? that was already my original suggestion. i sure hope you dont mean actual artillery Flanking sturm pios. sturm pios are forced to retreat instantly since 2 snipers take them down to half a squad after the first shot. the flank wont be successful and youll have some expensive reinforcing to do if youre even able to get away. blobs of volks (but keep them spreaded a bit to avoid grenades) if you like the frontal single unit assault. like i said before, blobbing will help you force the snipers back, but completely contradicts the whole idea of out capping your opponent. Keeping the guards busy with an armored unit they can button while you move up. This one is very theorical. probably my favorite suggestion. "keep the guards busy" aka sacrifice a vehicle Capping the rest of the map and dodging the blob to force it to spread and then pick it out one by one (this is an expensive, slow and low model count blob) divide and conquer! they are the exact same speed as your units. the difference is you will be losing mp and running from them every time you see them. you cant run forever. Ubersoldaten LMG wreck the sniper in a second. not even going to bother with this one again as enjoyable as this is, and after having seen your playercard, im going to have to call this. i think the fact your suggestions include the most expensive late game infantry, sacrificing light vehicles into guards and flanking with sturm pios speaks for itself In: Lobby
Thread: OKW sniper counter6 Aug 2014, 00:33 AM this whole game is about counters... whether they be soft counters or hard counters, its still about countering. just like any RTS, knowing your opponents units and how to counter them is essential. that is strategy, so i have no idea what point youre trying to make by picking apart the idea of counters. the coh franchise is different from other rts's in that things like positioning or suppression can make a huge difference in the outcome of battles, but that will only help so much. no amount of "strategy" will make a pioneer beat shocks on their own. the reason is, shocks hard counter pios. some units simply cannot beat other units. anyways, back to the topic, theres a big difference between saying okw need a doctrinal unit to counter snipers. one, okw may not have that doctrine equipped and two, well placed buildings are essential for both of your doctrinal counters. no buildings make your JLI and fall surprises impossible. the other difference is guards are a choice for the soviets. the soviet chooses t1 and guards and okw is forced to respond. the soviet is dictating the play, not the other way around. if you go shocks with t1, i can see why you might think any vehicle is a counter to a sniper build. shocks and snipers both have the same strengths (AI) and weaknesses (AT). personally i love seeing t1 and shocks because its an incredibly short sighted and easy to counter build. im curious what your creative strategy to counter 222's is with that build.

Thread: OKW sniper counter5 Aug 2014, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Aug 2014, 20:25 PMPart time commie What this guy said. I was about to add it, no AT for him, rush Flaktrack or anything else armored you prefer. no AT? guards always go with snipers unless the player is an idiot. button = dead flak track. i think a flak ht is the worst possible suggestion. If he has 2 snipers you can vastly outnumber him with 3 volks squads. No way in hell he's getting trough that. If he runs away, you have over 600MP running away... PUSH. 2 snipers vs 3 volks.. i wouldnt call that vastly outnumbering him. thats 1 extra squad. also, what he lacks in numbers, he will make up for in bleeding your mp. while youre reinforcing those volks, hes floating for guard spam. besides, your strategy doesnt exactly make sense to me. are you suggesting using your 3 volks together in one area or spreading them out? it sounds like youre suggesting spread them out, in which case you will be forced to retreat after the snipers take a shot or two. then the snipers move on to the next squad. to really take advantage of your numbers, you have to stick close together and rush the snipers, which means youre not out capping the soviet player. you cant have it both ways. For the M3 you have the Racketen. as for the raketen, you either wait until you see an m3, in which case youre already getting pushed back, or you build it preemptively. if you build it preemptively and they dont build an m3, you just lost your 1 squad advantage. The soviet sniper was built to be less of a good killing machine and thus make him a better recon and making him more resilient to fulfill this role. again im going to have to disagree. the soviet sniper is not "less of a good killing machine". it is exactly as good at killing as the german sniper when they are fighting the correct size squads. it takes a german sniper the same amount of time to kill 6 men as it does for a soviet sniper to kill 4 men. the major differences are, the soviet sniper is twice as durable, has sprint, and gets much much better after you build 2. when is the last time you saw a competent german player build 2 snipers? theres a reason its never done In: Lobby
Thread: The swapping T70 and SU76 suggestion thread5 Aug 2014, 17:32 PM i think the su76 could actually go nicely with t34s. when germans start building lots of paks and mgs, t34s can no longer push and become defensive. i typically rely on zis and mortars to barrage them. the zis is a drain on munitions and the mortars are fairly slow and unreliable. an su76 could fix both of those problems. i would hope some other changes happen at the same time to make skipping teching for call ins less appealing (cost increase, require teching, higher cp requirement, etc). evere since the teching costs were increased and call ins were left untouched, there has been very little reason to tech. swapping t70 and su76 isnt enough to get people teching.

Thread: OKW sniper counter5 Aug 2014, 17:24 PM hahah obersoldaten to counter snipers. thats like saying just build a p4 to counter m3s. no one is asking how to counter them late game. the fact is there really arent great non-doctrinal counters. thats why people are listing every single infantry squad that okw have. of course any infantry squad can kill a sniper. that doesnt mean they have a good chance, especially against a good player. if you dont have buildings for falls or JLI, you pretty much have to hope the soviet makes a mistake. youd have to be asleep to lose your snipers to the okw AA ht. kubels also do very low damage on the move, so its unlikely that will work unless, again, they fall asleep in your arc. without buildings, your best counter might actually be an infantry support gun. unfortunately thats very rng reliant and also expensive. wehrmacht had to do the same thing pre WFA. build a mortar and pray In: Lobby
Thread: WC51 new 'M3' spam5 Aug 2014, 02:42 AM i find the exact opposite. fausts are pretty much required to kill the wc51. schrecks on volks dont come soon enough and the raketen is too much of a gamble. id much rather be wehrmacht than okw vs wc51 In: Lobby
Thread: USF nerfed recently?5 Aug 2014, 01:02 AM usf hasnt been ninja nerfed. rifles have not been ninja nerfed. sorry Nboaram, dont know what to tell you. the last patch didnt change rifles or grens/volks in any way. i played 7 games as americans last night and won every one of them with rifles. if youre losing to volks, you might need to may more attention to cover. thats about the only thing that can consistently make volks beat rifles. volks would have to be in cover while you charge them. just about any other situation means rifles will win since they have better dps at all ranges. Jump back to quoted post5 Aug 2014, 00:10 AMlanciano agreed, okw have had heaps of buffs of late and Okw is made to please all ww2 german enthusious with all it ober units lol $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for relic you havent played a single game as okw. please tell us all how op they are.
