Which is the best playstyle in this badly optimized game
Posts: 680
So which playstyle would be the best to use to reduce the bad gaming-experience as much as possible? Some alternatives would be 1 Using tacmap to choose a unit. 2 Scrolling the game with mouse. 3 Using the minimap to move around. 4 Using shortkeys to switch between units.
So which playstyle would be the best style to reduce the "lag" and freezing that some players get in the game? Or are the playstyle not relevant as you will always get the same gaming-experience until you get a new comp?

play defensively and go for tanks with big hp pools
This is a good advice. Setting up some mgs doesnt need as much response from your units as regular infantry. But if you get flanked and are a few seconds behind its gg. I mainly play ostheer at the moment as a defensive playstyle with them is viable. Going conscriptspam is a big no no.

Since WFA came out, I turned my game settings down a bit. In particular, the texture quality. I found that scrolling the camera, loading tac map, and changing view accross the map rapidly, all really slowed my game down.
I love using snipers, but lagging for 5 seconds with a sniper on the field is usually a dead sniper. I still get freezes, but overall not as bad as I used to.
I find using the mouse (or keyboard if you have a preference) to best very effective, but my mouse is also home every hotkey via the grid hotkeys. If you click abilities with the mouse, use your keyboard I'd say.
Tac map is very slow for me and it jars me visually. I use unit hotkeys or minimap to move rapidly around the map.

I don't think this game has much in the way of PC requirements. Get a new PC, and enjoy modern games.
Uh...this game is notorious among PC hardware review sites for it's horrendous optimization. Benchmarking a "modern PC" with CoH2 means close to nothing as even a state of the art 2014 $2000-2500 rig might not max this piece of crap out yet Crysis 3, BF4, and a host of other games that should be harder to run than CoH2 run as smooth as butter.
CoH2 has NO place accusing players' system requirements when it cannot even run properly on the best systems money can buy.

I have played game on my 2010 PC with its poor graphics card and it runs at medium settings, wide screen rather fine.

It helps to try to REALLY predict grenades - move even before your opponent throws the grenade if you think they're likely going to grenade you, that way if the game freezes you won't lose a squad as often.

Yeah, tacmap sometimes takes some second to load. I love using tacmap to get a bigger perspective but I guess its better not to.

Yeap. Always keep out of grenade-distance. Overall it may be better to use longrangeunits if experiencing freezes.

Don't use Jacksons. Actually, probably just don't play US in general, as their tanks have so little HP and need to be watched closely.
Right!
