Well that was quite unaffordable for me.

Btw: Talking 1vs1 here mainly (though they pose a thread to me in any game mode).

well if we are talking 1v1....
go mg34 if you can and position it properly just keep scouting for mg with volks and kubel..
builkd sangbags with volks and try to kubel push those rifles early game
midgame flakhalftrack or luchs if you know he isn't going stuart....or myabe ostwind from scavenge
if not then try to go for p4 then and delay him panzerfussies with g43 are good option in this case
just micro well in general ,mines, barb wire try to funnel them and strumpioneers mid range should be able to deal with rifles.
if blobs get ultra huge then goliath and sturmtiger like i said

So no way of dealing with that without Luftwaffe Doctrine?

I alsways feel uncomfortable going Flak Halftrack over Luchs. The suppression is great but it's hard to keep that thing alive against Capt.! At least for my skill level.

Anyway thanks for your tips! I really appreciate them. COH 2 can be a really frustrating piece of shi... sometimes. I feel like getting into situations where I can't find a way out every second or third game.

You just have to cut his resources.Try winning early fights to gain vet and use elite-inf in green cover to weaken him.I would also go for a luchs or P4.

However the most important thing is to keep your units alife ! Take care of your retreat path and flanks.Last but not least wait for the late game to crush him with a KT.

In fact he cut my resources! So going for Cutoffs instead of trying to hold ground?

I did relatively good in unit preservation but it didn't help me much. And due to the fact I constantly struggled to hold territory and control my fuel I had my Schwerer Panzer HQ up when his Pershing hit the field. So I guess I did something horribly wrong?

Any tips with build order or how to cut his resources? Harassing all over the place maybe?

Exactly,with okw u can rely on your kubel to cap ur side while you are moving towards his ammo/cut off.

Try to only decap,that saves time.
The problem is,if he has your side and you try to force him off,he will already have a strong position with sandbags or mines.Cap other points that arent as heavily protected,then wait(get yourself some green cover) for him to come.

Dont randomly cap,cap smart,dont fully cap a point when you cant even get resources from it.If its near your base your should.

I'm not a great player, so this may be totally off the mark, but it sounds like your Schewerer HQ was too late, possibly the Luchs too. Did you go straight for Mech HQ or Medical first? You need to fight tooth and nail for at least one of the fuel points, spam mines on it, MGs, do whatever to keep hold of it, otherwise you will have no late game with OKW.

The Luftwaffe doctrine is good, as others have pointed out. Try to spot his staging area (where he parks his ambulance), spawn a FJ squad next to it when he's not paying attention and destroy it if you can. That will hurt him a lot.

Also, never stop (de)capping if you can. Once you force a retreat, try to (de)cap as much as you can before he comes back. Have a kubel ready and harass any territory you can when his troops are elsewhere. This will tax both his resources and his micro.
