Unfortunately, spotting scopes, stugs, and double paks, just don't work on maps like dussledorf. That was specifically the type of map I was referring to. On other maps I have to problem with dealing with tanks of all types.

The next question I guess is how you deal with Calliopes as ostheer in a 2v2 AT where the USFs Ally actually helps defend his Calliopes for him? I had a game a few months back against Ciez and Momo and they went Calli and crom spam with arty cover on rails and metal. I went Jaeger armor and got 222 with spotting scopes for my elephant and a pwerfer. They just kept bombing us out they rushing with croms. Felt pretty hopeless...

If you are getting nailed by british mortar pits I highly recommend you to try out 2x mortars halftracks + 2x isgs. Answer arty with more arty '. This usually help a lot if you keep maintaining your arty and in the end brit will bleed and spend a lot of mp or mun to keep repairing pits. Keep in mind that ostheer Light artillery barrage will destroy pit in one go if your opponents brace ability is on cooldown.

Against calliopes there isn't much you can do. Just don't blob, just don't! And look for opportunities to flank him with your tanks if they don't have any mines set.

Don't forget that you have a riegel mine, this bad boy will backstab your opponent really hard and tank will be immobilized until it will not be fully repaired. I understand that sometimes everything just don't work but you have to use what you have and just keep trying. You can always try 17 min KT

Btw didn't I played against you in 1v1 ?

Pretty good game. Both teams were giving each other a cancer and in the end we all ended up with no infantry and just shit tons of tanks.

what do you generally do in early mid and lategame?

Well if we play as axis we try to blob all in one and just make sure that what ever they are building will go down. Sniper is also very strong against brits so if they are investing a lot in emplacements they should not have a lot of sections and should be easy to push and destroy mortar pits. One player should be rushing for p4 and again rush in just to destroy emplacements. Paks also do good job against it as long as they shoot at it. Basically you need to make sure that they build their mortar pits as close to their bases as possible so you would have some room to breathe.

Here is a good example of what happens when allies are not supporting each other and everything just fall apart https://www.coh2.org/replay/51602/hoi-so-much-skill.

Hey Vipuks!
First of all let me thank you for your idea! Really, really helpful to "newbies" to multiplayer COH 2 like me!

Anyways here's my question:

What to do as OKW against Soviet Con Blob into Maxim/Mortar and IS2. I tried Flak Halftrack but 3 Zis tore it apart. Panzerfüselier/Volks/Sturm Mix couldn't stop the Russian tide which was then supported by SU85 and KV8.

I just didn't manage to bleed him enough.

Blobs in general are a big problem for me when playing any of the Axis factions.

Thanks in advance and keep up the great work here!

Con blob into maxim spam or 2 cons 3 maxims is something what you can see everyday. I think it would be logical decision not to build halftrack as soon as you see maxim cause you know your opponent will get zis guns so what you end up is double isg. It's RNG unit but it will win against any russian mortars and sooner or later will break maxims ofc if you think this is not the way you want to play you can try pz2 just keep in mind that his at guns will be right investment to counter you.

If you end up in map with a lot of buildings use them and don't forget that you can always wire it once it's safe to do so. I wouldn't recommend to go for panzerfusilier cause they cost 90 mun for upgrade and we all know that for this price you can get a shrek or 3 mines which can be set up near house exits which can wipe squad once it exit the house.

For IS2 you will need to bring big guns and that is jagdpanzer or KT or ...... panther. By the time IS2 arrives you should definitely be able to afford jagdpanzer and with some shreks + pupchens you will fight it off, panther won't really help you a lot against IS2 so you should aim for jagdpanzer or KT or maybe panther if you are feeling lucky...

Anybody?
