So we tried UKF vs. OKW 1v1 with the balance preview. Sadly, I did not save the the replay, so I can just tell from my memories.
I played UKF, map was Crossing in the woods. I started with double MG play and managed to successfully dig in on my fuel. Then I built 2 more infantry sections and went on with other needed stuff (sappers, bolster squad, LMGs).
The OKW had it easy from early on. The newly buffed Volksgrenadiers did not allow much capping outside of my MG range since I was always outnumbered. A Kübel ensured massive capping power which resulted in him owning the majority of territories and 1 secured vp. 2 ISGs followed which are pretty much death for UKF. I traded my 1st Cromwell for a P4 and had no fuel left, while the OKW could afford another P4 right away.
My biggest problems were:
- ISGs
- being outcapped
- Volksgrenadiers being dig in and negating any offensive attacks in combination with the ISGs
So, I felt kind of hopeless as UKF.
The OKW was floating manpower like crazy and had like 200-300 fuel at one point.
What's your experience OKW vs. UKF 1v1 in the balance preview? L2P?
Coh2 doesn't reward camping don't go double mg
Try 2 inf sections (3 total) then command post 1 sniper, Aec car then squad sizes.
Keep your forces together and defensive, then when sniper comes out push slowly for the cutoff or more territory.
I'm just theory crafting but this is the ukf version of my ost build, replacing panzer greens w panzershrecks with the Aec
Also if the Okw meta is similar to usf meta (light veichle always no matter what) then get used to using the AEC car
