Hi,

I got this game vs. top 10 player. But I am just player nobody.

It is just a quick game, and I just wanna know about my army positioning, especially how to utilize the map elements, like buildings or green cover, and more importantly, how to counter this.

I hope I am not posting an extreme matchmaking deficit game.

Hey,

USF on right side kholo vs aggressive OKW is a very tough matchup. Honestly don't know myself how to reliably survive the early game. You can always go WC51 after 3 rifles because that unit is straight up op and always helps.

Yeah, I know that, I watched a lot USF choose WC51. But is this the only commander that helps?

Or is there any other I can pick up in the game?

One more thing, why right side kholo makes it tough?

Hard to say what could have been good. Surviving the early game is mostly an issue of good positioning. Commanders mostly don't affect it. (except for WC51) You honestly did quite well though considering your experience.

Map is because of hard access to mid vp and exposed cut off mainly.

Dude, I got my 1st game with WC51, and that was so so effective against OKW at early game.

Heading into mid game, although vg got stg44, with the help of WC51 and stuart. I got VP advantages as 200 vs. 490. And more importantly, it is my 1st time realize this game is under my control.

Thanks for your advice, it is so helpful.

Yeah, Turbo

If you have time, plz review it for me. Last review helps a lot.

BTW, what is the build order for WC51? After the 1st RM or the 2nd RM?

Absolutely friend, this should be an exciting game.

I plan to view it ~8pm GMT tonight if you want to view live, but of course the VOD will be available too. :)

Thank you Turbo.

Sometimes I found I was doing too much, like soft capping and fighting VP at the same time, which leads to lose of cut-off.

I think I should learn more about map as well as planning ahead. One thing, the suggestion of 50 cal instead of ambulance is right.

Appreciate for you review. I will keep playing, at least beat Paul down next time, LOL.

Hell yea dude, can't wait to see the day ;)

It might be worthwhile to spectate some of the front page games on maps where you're maybe not as familiar, take a look at where they send their units, what cover the use, where they build it-- things like that.

adamírcz: Might be onto somethin here, combine side armour existing, maps where flanking is a viable option, and hopefully also heavies actually being less manouverable than mediums (lookin at you coh2), and it might be fun gameplay
Last Monday, 13:39 PM
Willy Pete: Shouldn't coh3 heavies actually have insane front armor values? The glory days of 400+ Kt armor wouldn't be as bad when side armor is a thing. Not to say its a good idea lol
Last Friday, 23:14 PM
aerafield: But then again, maybe CoH3 superheavies should actually have insane armor values because the whole game is designed for the clumsy & inept anyway :snfPeter:
