Thread: Poll - Buff unviable commander abilities16 Apr 2019, 18:53 PM Bought vet already got removed from all other commanders. Lowering CP and manpower cost would make the mech grens way more useful. You could swap for PG 250, but I like it with grens in (so you can kite with it). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Upcoming CoH3 installment (Poll)21 Feb 2019, 12:34 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Feb 2019, 12:32 PMVipper What I would like to see would be a year by year mod where the units available at time are used. Then play age of empires just kidding In: Lobby
Thread: Infantry Spam and how to deal with it21 Feb 2019, 12:26 PM [For 2v2] What I've been doing is extended T1 (so extra MG/Grens), get fast T3 and rush an Ostwind out (I skip T2, then quickly back teck for a pak. Now Ostwind standard is only going to do so much and likely get killed by cons/guards/penals + ZiS quite easily. But I use hull down doc (mostly elefant one), hull down the Ost, which gives it extra range and defence, now you can own those infantry spams, keep grens and MGs up front so your ostwind is kept much more safe from ZiS, but it still holds their inf back. I then tend to call a Panzer4 command tank to buff my force, and hulled down provide extra firepower vs any pushes. Grab a couple Paks to prevent a tank runing your day, then wait for an Elefant (then you can push them slowly off the map). Your grens should vet up nicely because they have the Ostwind winning fights for them, just careful not to over extend them and lose them. Just be ready to move the Ostwind if it comes under fire from ZiS or artillery. In: Ostheer Strategies

Thread: Countering USF Mechanized?8 Dec 2018, 22:24 PM Use the extended faust range bulletin, use lots of Grens, get good at knowing the range, the circle does not show the extra range so you have to know it by eye. Faust works best when you activate it in range, it WILL go off perfectly if you do it in range, happily seeking them down as they reverse way out of range. If you order it out of range they will tend to hopelessly keep chasing after the vehicle even if they actually get into range. You can take a doctrine which includes infantry camo, this will give you sprint which makes it super easy to sprint into faust range, provided you get your positioning and timing right. Consider using true sight to lay hidden gren traps so that their light vehicles blunder straight into faust range (but be ready!) MGs and scout cars are still good tools, just support really well with Grens to give you security, and play quite defensively with them due to increased vulnerability and the fact the USA player is going to be hyper aggresive!

Thread: The most insane USA blobbing !!2 Dec 2018, 10:01 AM Ive never seen blobbing this hard, from 2 USA players. Yeiks. In: Replays
Thread: Does anyone use Hull Down?16 Sep 2018, 06:04 AM 222 has never had hull down. You may be thinking of the scout car from panzer elite which locked down a sector. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Concerns of a COH fan15 Sep 2018, 16:40 PM Adapt and overcome, play the opposite factions. Posts like this come when people lean too heavily on overpowered units believing that it's their skill allowing them to win. For some odd reason I've often found myself playing whichever faction is currently underpowered. I think I just get bored winning with OP units and crave the challenge, even if it means more losses. It does make you a better player though. In: Lobby
Thread: SOVIET COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION26 Jul 2018, 14:02 PM But the forward HQ is so strong for early game, your not going to get overly powerful abilities like an IS2, just like you would never get a Tiger in mobile defence. I know those are extremes, but pacing does have some importance when strong abilities are in a commander. In: Lobby
Thread: SOVIET COMMANDER REVAMP DISCUSSION25 Jul 2018, 14:59 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jul 2018, 10:47 AMOsinyagov The problem with this doctrine imo - it hasn't late game tools. Thats intended, because it has such strong early game tools. Just in the same way as mobile defence for Ost. In: Lobby
