Yes, 3. Good players screen their opponent's build order first and then build the right stuff. Not everyone spams grens, ostrupps.


Anyways, maxims is absolutely useless against OST, it does have a chance against OKW however. And even then you need more than 2.

Hm... you're a good player? How about showing your player card? :snfPeter:

I really don't like MG spam...particularly against OKW. There are better ways. I just played two matches against higher-ranked Soviets with my OKW (They were 1750ish, I am 2000ish). First match, the guy built 7 MGs (La Gleize Breakout). That may have been because I capped three of them.

Second match (Angoville) my opponent built at least three an MGed the houses on the right. So? Have the right. I'll take left, build LeIGs to make you cry, and then Command Panther and KT. I lost a Luchs, but then he lost two T70s and a AATruck in return. Then my heavy tanks wrecked his T34 spam (four or five T34s killed, no losses).

So what do I fear when I play as OKW from the SU? Well, Shocks, for starters. They make mincemeat out of my guys. Also, a decent use of T70 or AA truck (don't attack shrek blob ON it's heal base). Finally, Katyushas and Tank Destroyers. Oh, and kill the Command Panther before the King Tiger, don't primary the KT.

Yeah, there are a few things that one shouldn't do... Seven Maxims is spam and it's too much. Three is the most I usually build (as you can see in the replay). Below is a replay of me playing against a couple (or three?) Maxims. I was surprised, actually, at the quality of play on the Soviet's part. You can see the ranks in the replay thread.

One thing to consider is that build orders, player knowledge, and skill vary widely between the top twenty, fifty, one hundred, two hundred, etc. For example, in my replay against Choccy on Minsk, I went Maxims into SU76 then IS2.

Most people in the top 200 don't build 7 T34s against a player of equal skill. OKW is quite strong now, and they have a lot of options to apply mid game pressure against the Soviets.

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
Last Thursday, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. :rofl:

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
Last Tuesday, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
Last Tuesday, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.

aerafield: @OKSpitfire tbh I find it quite challenging to get the Pershing in time, having to suffer through the CoH3 tickrate and this endless bullshit meta of massive blobs going back and forth to the forward heal truck

OKSpitfire: Well... going to be seeing the Pershing a lot for a little while, that thing is a monster.
