Could you post a few replays? I'm interested!
I've largely given up on the mechanized assault doctrine. Assault Grens are just a headache for me. |
Partisanship, do you play with randoms? This strat sounds really... awesome to see. 6 man German squads, bunkers everywhere, munitions for everyone to just pass around and spit into the dirt like its candy... must feel good

The advantage of the LMG42 is long range damage. In the current state of the game, dealing damage at long range is worth more than dealing it at close. This is because advancing squads are more likely to loose models than a long-range squad in cover, making assault squads less useful.
On top of that, the LMG still does decent damage at close range.
Unless your strat involves lots of Grens (4+), stick with LMG42. If you go heavy T1 with lots of grens, you can perhaps specialize some with LMG42 and some with G43.
Thank you very much. Since my question is answered, you could probably go along and close the thread. I know what I need to know and you elaborated and explained why and it was very prompt!! |
Automatch game... we played two in a row, same map, same starting positions, however, at the beginning of the second game (this one), my opponent, quite rudely, asked me to resign because the first one had not even been "close".
So, CoH 2 community, don't be rude to your opponent(s), because they may stick it out and kick your ass! |
I know there have been many threads about the G43 v. LMG42 upgrade, but, in the game's current state, does the LMG42 make the grens scale better late game than the G43? Which do people prefer?
I use Elite and/or Lightning War most of the time (got the latter in a war spoils drop. YES!) so I usually have the G43 option, and tend to choose them because they are cheaper.
Is it a good idea to have 1 Gren with LMG42 as a fire support, and have the G43 grens cover-hopping?
Lastly, I'd prefer 1v1 advice, but if you've got tips on 1v1 and 2v2 feel free to share. |
While the info is appreciated, this thread would be better in the OKW strategy forums, or the team game strategy forums. |
I was quite mad during this game, screaming curses at the screen and banging my fist against the desk that my computer sits on.
It all started when I lost two gren squads on retreat to shock troops... mostly my fault, but I was winning then, despite the losses. As more squad wipes occurred, I became increasingly mad, until, finally, I had a P4, Ostwind, and a Tiger Ace.
needless to say, the Soviet base was rubble at the end and I had exacted my revenge.
Very gg, though. |
Intense and bloody 1v1 on Road to Kharkov. Very desperate fighting, trying to kill each other's units... I won in the end by crazy Ostwind preservation and stalling for a tiger as well as some late game flanks.
I think I'm going to the Nuremberg trials because I killed two ambulances |
Sacrifice orphans for a better chance at a commander.
Lololololololol I never thought of that. A worthy use of noble orphans. |
I deny the existence of the RNG god.
Your rank must be pretty low, then. In the 40,000s? It's a shame. I hardly ever pray, but I acknowledge them so I do half-decently...sometimes. (No offence intended)
Nothing like kicking off a loss streak with 2 1v1s against Cataclaw and VonIvan |
