Past mid game, is 2v2 all about amassing indirect fire and then blasting the shit out of the enemy team from a safe distance? Or do I just feel stuck playing that way because I need to get better at the game? What are your thoughts?

In 3s or 4s, I'd say you were right. In 2s, it depends on what the enemy is showing. Yesterday my brother and I faced 2 OKWs that clustered their buildings and went for KT. In that case, we both got Howies and commanders with offmap arty.

Arty and super-heavy TDs. There's just way too many maps that are too small or chokepoint heavy that makes 2v2s super campy right now.

I'm assuming this is advice from an Axis perspective? Because Allies don't have any super-heavy TDs:sibHyena:

ISU-152 doesn't count, it has shit range and also bounces targets easily even with AP rounds on. Also ROF is like, one shot per match.

I saw an ISU pen a P4 once, OP PLZ nerf :P
But yeah, TDs for Axis, rocket arty docs for Brits/USF and DSHK + Penal cheese for Soviets.

Yeah, this is why I completely quit playing team games (including 2v2). Early game is nice, fun skirmishes with inf and light vehicles, but when it gets to mid-late game, all unit micro and infantry skirmishing is just thrown out of the window, and it becomes a game of who gets luckier with RNG mortar/offmap arty/rocket arty/strafe plane/howitzer/other indirect cancer. Your infantry have about 2 seconds of time to fight until they have to retreat due to taking too much damage from indirect. If you're unlucky, they get wiped immediately right there. It's not fun to me in the least. Infantry that need to stop to fire (LMG grens for example) are especially vulnerable to getting random wiped.

Thankfully, 1v1 doesn't have this problem because investing in heavy indirect means risking total loss of map control due to sacrificing from capping power and direct engagements. The game is more mobile by necessity, not some attrition warfare where lucky RNG wipes determine the victor. Those beautiful vetted up units really get to shine because they aren't being barraged by 5 mortars continuously.

Yeeeeep. I only add teamgames for more 1v1 vetoes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:
