Ask the Strategist!

Is OKW T1 start with or without a flak ht still a decent option in contrast to blasting out a t2 and luchs as fast as possible? I recall decently liberal t1 and ht usage in the GCS games, but I am not seeing it too often in my games or casted games as of late.

Which factions or strategies would it be useful against?

Hello there;

I'm new to coh2.org even if I'm reading some forum thread for a long time now! I'm here to ask for some advices (maybe it's the wrong thread for this sorry if I'm speaking in the wrong one).

i have some problems when playing 1v1 (I play mostly 4v4 in arranged teams having some good ranks with my teammates but I like to play 1v1 a bit).

My problem is almost the same with all factions (playing all of them) I manage to make a good start and having map control etc but in some ways I having hard times to exploit my advantage turning into loosing lots of game Around 20mn in the game i'm starting to make mistakes i'm not making in early game and beginning of mid game. I guess it's a l2p issue that's why i'm here!

I'm around top 800 with all factions so i'm considering myself as a medium player but it's really frustrating to loose games having the advantage in beginning of the game, maybe you could give me some advices here? I do not have some replays to give you but I will load one or two soon.

Thanks for the quick answer ! I do have antitank and antiinf everytime but not always arty. maybe it's the key ! I think my issue is i'm being over confident when having a good start and tend to overextend; I don't believe that my BO are bad i mean i know all factions pretty well so i know what could come next when facing my opponent units ; maybe the fear of being flanked is too strong due to my 4v4 experience.

I have a question about using artillery (Howitzers, mortars etc).


Given that having some form of line of sight improves accuracy for arty units, does this only count from the moment you click bombard? Or do you need to retain vision for the entire bombardment if you want the accuracy to stay buffed?

So if you use a fast recon, order a howie to bomb a mortar pit during the LoS, but then it goes back to fog of war, what will the resultant accuracy be?

LOS calculation probably comes into play the moment the rocket is launched.

Another question, maybe tricky to answer:

Ost mortar bulletins, there is one for +5% accuracy, and one for +5% accuracy when auto firing.

Wouldnt the 'generic' accuracy one stack with the auto fire one to give +10% accuracy and turn it into a heat seaking missile when left to auto fire?

Its already lethal with a single bulletin on it XD

Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2017, 12:44 PMSturmpanther

Is the 1 maybe for the barrage? and the other one for autofire?

But there are anyway some strange bulletins in this game

And anyway most of the time RNG is the big factor! not the + X % more. To have a 1 % chance to hit or a 5 % chance to hit means in the most cases: still missing
