Ostheer HMG too strong now

I think the HMG's are where they should be now. The problem i see is that people aren't used to flanking or have trouble keeping the flank, because its easy to make a small micro mistakes and you are forced back with nothing gained. I totally understand why people get frustrated, but to play vs a good player that has good MG micro, is gonna take alot of patience and micro to beat. But hard games like that, give more pleasure than frustrating moments when you can't hold your ground because your mg doesnt do shi#.

I think it's more rewarding to flank the mg and to succeed, than to just run in with a blob and run over a crowdcontrol unit.

Learn to use smoke + closing in with rifles correctly.

If the HMG is activated with AProunds, wait for it to end. Then start harrasing with AAHalftrack/M20. End.

Not to say those shouldnt be buffed eventually but really?

What else should ostheer have thats the best of its kind in the game?Can they somewhat lack artillery? Thats the one thing they dont have thats the best ingame.. And obviously if their opponent builds artillery then they can just counter that with stuka dive bombs or stuka CAS.

Clearly ,the ostheer QQ wont stop still ostheer is #masterrace all around with every unit being better than its counterpart. They cant lack in any department,and are the only faction that can be that way.

I think CoH2 players who never played CoH1 need to realise that it was even possible to flank MG42s in CoH1 when they had greater vision, unobstructed vision, a bike to scout for the vision, and cheap 25 munitions mines protecting flanks. How on earth did Americans ever flank MGs if they were so good? You had to get good. Stop complaining and step your games up.

Everything about COH2 makes flanking MGs easier. MGs cant see past obstacles. MGs have reduced line of sight. No bike to scout vision. No bike to push riflemen to prevent them from closing. No mines. Not only does CoH2 lack those things, then you add in Oorah ability, early and super cheap molotovs, and smoke grenades from the Americans? COME ON PEOPLE. YOU HAVE BRAINS. IT'S TIME TO START USING THEM. Don't rifle click your 4 riflemen in front of a MG and then QQ when you have to retreat. PLEASE.

Can you provide a replay, showing these things against a semi good player in coh2 please?

Until then, all your words are wind.

That's the problem. CoH2 is full of many many noobs, and decent players are a rare commodity nowadays.
