Great guide LemonJuice. If you get the time I think it would be very helpful to write abit how to work as a team of double OKW or OKW+OH?
What do you say or do to get random players working as team?
Alot of Ostheer players in 2vs2 random totally fail to support the OKW player which usually result in a loss. At some bad days its like 9 out of 10 Ostheer players fail to fufill their role.
OH-OKW have good synergy and OH can cover the weakness of OKW. Fuel caches, gren faust, mobile ht to reinforce volks/obers blob, P4 spam, mortar HT, vet3 mortars with elite vet, pak40/stug stun etc. OH might be weak in 1vs1 but they can be amazing good support for OKW in 2vs2.
Also if OKW support the OH with medic truck and shreaks, OH can spend most munitions to help lock down one fuel with S-mines/bunkers or get gren lmg spam until OKW have obers.
Many OH players play 2vs2 random like it was 1vs1. Divide map in half and try to defend or attack points at the opposite end of where OKW have the trucks. Then OH lose his side and quit because he cant defend and/or attack well without OKW which are busy defending where the trucks are. Instead it should be OH supporting so OKW can be more mobile in attacking with the volks/ober blob..
While doctrine are important its at least equally important learning working as a team to have good synergy.
Yeah I admit I am guilty of splitting matches into two 1v1, but at least try to send some support over if my teammate is falling behind. Some of it is also communication. I hate allies who never type, but just spam the attack here button, even when I am still healing squads or are already engaged and can't pull out.
The guide could definitely use a revision post October patch.
