hmmmm why tommy and fatal left the stage???? hard to answer...?
CoH2 was unfinished back then, it lacked the depth of the original, Tommy and Fatal decided to leave the game because it wasn't interesting to play or cast anymore.
I used to get very anxious when I played 1's, so that didn't help at all. But when coh2 came out, I tried a different approach, I tried not to care about winning or losing and ever since I've come along way.
If I recall it right, I used to build t2 and t3 with the third PG, which meant you had to go for the fuel right away, hold it with 2 PG's and let the ketten go harass points. After you get your first AC, just go pick up lone squads. Now if you see bars, its safe to go another AC, if you suspect fast t3 from US, then I usually went for teller mines and a mortar HT.
AC's were really annoying and usually 2 of them made the enemy rage. Always get at least 2 defensive vet for them, because of their paper armor, which means you have to babysit them alot.
I don't understand, did anyone even play the test patch? It seems so weird, that the patch was out for testing and was updated, but this OKW problem wasn't discovered? or did relic not listen ?
