Thread: I want to like OKW...1 Jul 2014, 01:49 AM I feel like the way to play OKW is to minimize capping in favour of early harassment with storm pios and kubel wagons. You can decap your opponents stuff, which will hurt him greatly. And you'll likely inflict heavy MP losses. I haven't played against Soviets yet though. It works great on Americans. EDIT: Here's a replay of a build I'm working on that demonstrates this. 0 VS InfinitePurity Dullahan Aggressive OKW Play by: Dullahan map: Semoskiy Winter 2 - In: OKW Strategies
Thread: US troops vs HMG30 Jun 2014, 21:58 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jun 2014, 03:22 AMCyridius What I'm surprised nobody's complaining about is Riflemen getting smoke. It's the best set-up team counter in the game(When they're outside of buildings - Then it's just a delaying tactic). Smoke 'em, run up, nade 'em and they'll either retreat or when the smoke falls off you just kill them. Yeah I love this ability. I spam it in engagements to prevent myself form being focus fired (if he has 2-3 squads, shoot smoke in front of two of them while I pick off the third. that sort of shit), to counter long range weapons, to clear buildings etc. I'd be really sad if it got nerfed though In: COH2 Balance
Thread: What are your build orders?30 Jun 2014, 21:54 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2014, 09:43 AMDeadMan If OKW goes with a fast HT you're pretty fucked, since you haven't any real counter to it. The AT paradrop comes too late i personally prefer 3 rifles and 2 echelon+LT, then HT and then call in the Cap. Imho the ambulance is a must only after the HT/Lt call in. I just focus on outplaying him if he gets the half track. Smoke to neuter it, rifle grenade to stun it. Then just focus fire with infantry or use M20 crew. Usually I manage to hold on just fine against fast HT, but I tend to have trouble in the late game against OKW veteran infantry. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Twister vs Luvnest game 1 ESL Finals analysis30 Jun 2014, 04:13 AM It's a common mistake for people in the lead to waste time going for later tech units rather than securing the game with middle tech. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Dealing with volley fire30 Jun 2014, 04:02 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2014, 03:20 AMFestiveLongJohns How is my suggestion that far off from what you call a "tweak"? I'm not calling for the ability to be nerfed into uselessness. I like that it gives the RE some early game combat potential, I just think its grossly over the top at the moment. Limiting the suppression to one squad and forcing the RE squad to remain stationary would still punish advancing units, and would encourage the ability to be used as intended which is to suppress a high priority target like the sturmpios in the early game, rather than being able to suppress multiple units. Volleyfire is Americans answer to early game blobs, because they don't have a suppression team until lieutenant tech. Only being effective against one squad means that it becomes a sturmpio/pgren pinning tool. Additionally, making them immobile allows people to just focus fire them from range and then walk away if they toggle the ability. It will go from "useful" to "never used except when your opponent isn't paying attention". You're essentially suggesting to completely change the utility of the ability. I'm just suggesting making it take a few more shots to suppress so people have time to walk into cover, garrison buildings or just kill the RE outright with focus fire. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Dealing with volley fire30 Jun 2014, 02:25 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Jun 2014, 01:46 AMFestiveLongJohns And if he has rifleman to support? What if he catches both of your squads together in the open? Should a 20 munition ability from your 160 manpower squad really be able to suppress multiple squads from any direction while on the move in the early game? Just watch all the games from todays WFA tourney, they should be up tomorrow. The USF DOMINATED every single one, just watch how volley fire is used and get back to me, maybe we're all missing something. Should a 30 munition mine instagib squads/vehicles if you happen to run over it? I'm not saying the ability couldn't use some tweaks and bugfixes,but I wouldn't change it drastically. Just reduce the rate of courage damage slightly so that it has a harder time of suppressing. In: Strategy Desk

Thread: Dealing with volley fire29 Jun 2014, 23:32 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jun 2014, 23:17 PMFestiveLongJohns So you sit in suppression...what the benefit in that? Your unit has no damage, and will stay suppressed as long as the RE squad continues firing on it. You don't retreat and give up the map control. It's simple. One squad gets volley fired. Nearby squads move into cover ready to kill the echelon guys when volley fire wears off. If you're in green cover, it takes so long to be suppressed by VF that you won't be pinned, and suppression wears off quicker than machine guns. Panicking and retreating just because you're suppressed is a noob move. In: Strategy Desk
