How are you doing it?I return to this game,and find its been ruined by these emplacements completely.Mortar pit range is just bogus.Bofors is unkilleable with brcae without loss of half ur army for the price of an ost halftrack.Wtf.Only OKW can play 2vs 2 and up against brits now,ost is only good for caches as 2 vs 2 .
I usually don't agree with your posts but nevertheless I also think that playing Brits with emplacements is the easy mode of CoH2 multiplayer.
I have a mate with whom I play 2v2 AT games as Axis only. Currently we are around rank > 3.000 (he is not that good and simply does not know how to counter the Allied blobs and emplacements).
On the other hand I also play 2v2 random teams as Brits and got to rank ~100 with ease. My mate usually plays the aggressive part. In the early game I support him with my troops and an MG and after 7-8 minutes I start building a mortar pit + forward base. Then an AT gun to counter any Luchs or Flamer HT, lay mines around my Sim City like stupid to counter them even more and then I build a Bofors.
If my mate manages to at least not lose his own army, we win without any big efforts from my side. My cancer commander repairs everything while my base and mortar counters any LeIG that wants to attack me and bleeds the enemy like nothing comparable. Sometimes I have to brace something that it doesn't take a third of its health in damage from a Stuka zu Fuß but yeah, that's it. I then proceed to build another mortar and then a Firefly to fuck with heavy armor.
Yes, I know, players will come to me "do this in a real game against not total noobs" but honestly, I think rank 100 is somehow a bit away from the mediocre playerbase. And still I have no problems winning with ease. I absolutely don't want to sound narcisstic, just to show the problem with Brits. Meanwhile I try to cap some points outside of the main battle, crawl my cat or go to the toilet. Sure, sometimes the OKW player broke through my Sim City but he lost way more MP and Fuel than I did. Multiple vet 3-5 squads got wrecked while I lose about 700MP and 30 fuel (Mortar + Bofors). I wait two minutes while he tries to recover what is left of his army and voila, Sim City is back in business.
Sure Brits can be played "cool" with their good troops and viable strat choices. But guys, let's be honest. You can win with Sim City with much less effort and stress, so why should a player do something that is way more micro intensive?
(If somebody doesn't get the point: Yes I am playing this bullshit, but I try to show you WHY it is bullshit and cancer for the whole game)
