Hello fellow COH2 Players who are better than I!

I bought the game awhile ago, then R2TW came out and I played that more and stopped playing COH2. Then I came back after getting the Western Front DLC for 50% off and I have been playing USF since.

But yeah, I curse the player that uses the kubel, but I enjoy the challenge of playing USF. I had to start off slow, learning how to play with the Armor Company and using them to counter the sturmpios (then realized how limited Armor Comp was late game), then moved towards Airborne, and now I'm a bit more of an Infantry, but I tend to switch between Airbone and Inf depending on the number of choke points available on the map.

I still am a pretty poor late-game player, especially when there are obersoldaten, or mass MG34 volks with panthers and tigers all over the map. I haven't done 1v1, yet. I mostly play 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4. So I have a fair number of losses, poor casualty ratio, and what not.

So yeah, I'm not what you can consider an active forum member, but I'll certainly be reading strats and maybe glean a bit of info here and there to improve my capabilities.

Thank you for this community!

Greetings, Suralin :)

Certain members of this board apparently extensively study the Kubelwagen, in all its glory. You will find plenty to read about.

And when you have read through it all, you can progress to the huge backnumber catalogue of theses about the ISU 152 (and its effect on balance)

And after a month or so, when you have read through all that, these board specialists will have doubtless have sculpted the finishing touches to their views on balance and the OKW.

By which time, they will doubtless be ready to start upon the Kubelwagen again.....

But what about the players worse than you? :O

Welcome to the dystopian society known as CoH2.

Welcome welcome!

Play lots (I never really got to due to RL commitments). Also watch some streams, you will see the game from someone elses' perspective. I highly recommend Stephenn's. He is a real mensch.

Don't forget that once you "know it all", (or at least know all the arguments) Relic will put out a patch and some new commanders and the fun starts all over again. :)

(Oh, the arguments will be the same, but you might get to replace x unit with Y unit in them.)

Thanks for the warm welcome! I've already taken the opportunity to look at the 'debates'. Nothing too different than what you see in other competitive play games, haha. All I care about are the concepts and ideas people throw out and see if I can incorporate that into play as I'm not a big fan of build orders beyond the first few minutes.

Also, I play USF because it is much easier for me to get into games (most of the time, Axis players far outnumber USF in auto-matchups for me).
