Afraid to start ranked cant beat expert bot
Posts: 33
Now i'm trying to play as OST and well i got used to getting owned
Unfortunately coh doesnt have many players and most of them are 'veterans', so you will be matched with them most of the time, what makes losing more probable.. but hey, there's no other way to learn than practice, right?
[and i believe expert cpu is kinda "cheating" - i think it has increased resources flow or sth + well cpu can actually multitask. human cannot ]

Don't be concerned if someone on your team drops, until you get better chances are the AI will be good enough as a teammate. Especially as how a lot of opponents get complacent when the AI takes over
Don't be too concerned if you come up against an arranged team, many of them suck

I recommend knowing your build order before you start, its better to adapt in game but i'd save that until you're more comfortable playing vs players and have an idea of timings etc.
I'd start like this:
soviet (guard motor): 3 conscript, team weapons as required, guards, hold out for T34/85s
ost: 3 grenadiers, 1 mg42, 1 pak, pzIV
okw: 4 volks (spare manpower on mg34s/raketenwerfers), PZII, Panther
usf: 3 rifle, lt, m20, shermans
They're far from optimal and will situationally not work at all but they're easy to do and you won't get rolled over in your first few games.
Try not to float too much manpower, another infantry squad, some AT guns, infantry healing never hurt.
Have fun! its only a game

wow so im really bad :/
No, he forgot to mention the replacement AI is usually Easy or Normal, rather than Hard or Expert.
When I was a beginner in the CoH franchise the things that got me away from playing 2v2/3v3/4v4 campfests vs AI was watching what higher lvl players did via replays, casts, and streams.
If you don't feel that competitive yet I'd recommend just to stick around and have fun in the 3v3/4v4 realm, usually it'll involve inexperienced players like yourself and be a good start to how the game goes.

Might I suggest you watch some pro players stream? It's amazing how much you can pick up just watching a good player play.
Some good streams to watch are HelpingHans, Romeo, VonIvan, Siberian, Ciez, Lemon, Dusty, and others which I apologize to if I forgot to mention you.

I know that feel bro. But like everyone has said around here, you just have to jump in and try. You'll only learn.
Also, I suggest signing up for the Mentor program on here. It will help tons.
I'm always looking for people to play with on COH2.
Let me know if you want me to add you and we can play some games.

Don't know if anyone said this yet but unless you are in top 50 or so you will sometimes still get matched with someone that will seriously kick your ass. So you just have to learn to accept it. Do your best, play lots of games, watch streams, casts, you will get better.

If only there was more people who actually learned every aspect of the game before playing automatch. I get paired with people who have fuckin' 30 hours logged in total every single time I do 3v3. The axis team always gets the benefit of the doubt for some reason.
That's because you're unranked in 3v3, with low ELO.
(MM in 3v3 / 4v4 is "screwed up", no matter what though)
