Thread: I think this patch freakin' sucks8 Jan 2018, 11:55 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Jan 2018, 08:03 AMSuperJew As you mention, a lot of it is down to players needing to adapt to changes, with their own costs and units and also with how strong the enemys stuff is going to be.. so after a big balance adjustment like this, it will always seem harsher to some people than it is in reality, simply because they are not doing things as efficiently anymore. Also, Ost is absolutley designed around halftrack play in team games, or bunkers if you really wish. Relying on OKW medtrucks is not what they are about. Also Ost T1+2 is great now with several buffs to it. Id recommend playing 2v2 instead of 4v4, much better games, always has been In: COH2 Balance
Thread: How to deal with USF early vehicles?6 Jan 2018, 15:06 PM I really like using sprint (that is now given from doctrines with infantry cammo in), try to partially have a flank on the vehicle as much as possible, wait for him to be a tiny bit out of position and sprint a gren squad into faust range, I also use the +7% faust range bulletin to aid this further. From there you will probably need to move other grens in to do more fausts, its a real waste if he is allowed to slink off to repair. Make sure you conserve probably all you munis early if you want to do this so you can do 3 fausts and a sprint. Try to time it well, make sure you can deal a knock out blow, he wont expect it coming from your inf in such an aggresive way. Later, you can do similar also using sprint to bring Shrek PGs into killing range or a crippled vehicle. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: December patchnotes + Bug report2 Jan 2018, 13:49 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Dec 2017, 13:26 PM__deleted__ Westwall map base hmg bug Base HMGs (at least Soviet ones) attack squads in garrison nearby cut-off as well as the cut-off itself Is that such a bad thing? After all how many maps have a building you can camp right outside the enemy's base like that. Its hardly an advantage to the right hand player. In: Lobby
Thread: When are heavy tanks appropriate?2 Jan 2018, 13:37 PM I think it also heavily depends on the map and the enemys army compositions, heavies can be quite situational. For example a Tiger can be pretty useless if they have several ATG which you cant easily take out as a Tiger is difficult to reposition and also pull back when in the Paks range. 2 mediums may be able to cause better damage by hitting their flanks.

Thread: Newbie here, what are the current best Ostheer doctrines?2 Jan 2018, 13:30 PM One thing, Ost is probably the hardest to play, they can be great, but take more effort to achieve. COH2 is generally a bit more spammy in terms of inf assaults than COH1, which can make it difficult as Ost to keep your units alive. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Restrict players to only 1 base building of each type14 Dec 2017, 02:29 AM But what if they want to spam 2 panthers out simultaneously, you didnt think of that In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Restrict players to only 1 base building of each type13 Dec 2017, 01:17 AM I often build T4 to get enough CPs for a Tiger, then maybe build a Pwerfer after, but thats not multiple of same tier. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: OKW late game unbeatable ?4 Dec 2017, 10:06 AM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2017, 19:42 PMViento no need to go as far as late game. play as usf and you get fucked by 4 kubelwagens in early game. RIP Use the mechanised Doc, you can bully the hell out of OKW, rape Kubels with Dodge, kill blobs with demo from the assault engie and level their trucks with the powerful off map arty.

Thread: G43 upgrade on grenadiers worth it at all?1 Dec 2017, 20:02 PM In practise G43 is really quite powerful, it allows you to have good firepower on the move, which means you can be more aggresive (yes you still have to be careful with 4 man squads), but you can push and take out positions. It really helps when 2 g43 squads are together, you start to have enough DPS to get wipes. LMG can be countered by mortars and grenades, you will have to reposition, then you lose firepower and lose the firefight. You can also drop them which is a big thing in G43 favour also!
