You should add timezones

Racists don't get invited to invitational tournaments as a general rule in the back of my mind.

Well at least Burmie stays true to himself. He is always a dick even while winning. Some people are nice and reasonable as long as they're winning but as soon as they start losing they ALWAYS start acting like idiots. If it happens once in a while I'd consider that normal but people who constantly behave like this ...Jesus.

I seriously wonder if online gaming communities are representative of the entire population or if games just attract people with low social skills. Or maybe it's the games themselves who cause this kind of behaviour.

Awesome, I've watched plenty of your 2.301 Replays. CoH2 really needs some fresh competent 1v1 players. Gonna watch the replay and give some advice.

Okay here we go:

1. When you put an MG in a house you can manually face it towards one side of the building. In this game sometimes your MG was facing towards the bushes which obviously doesn't make any sense because it needs to reposition first before it starts firing. You can see the firing arc by clicking on the house. If you're using the Classic Hotkeys it's "A" and then click in the direction the MG is supposed to face. If you do this the MG is "locked" into that direction so it won't automatically switch windows anymore if there's an attack from another side. So after doing it you should switch back to automatic repositioning which is hotkey "S".

2. You used attack vehicles only on your P4 even though there were no enemy vehicles on the field. It's one of the biggest improvements compared to CoH1 and should always be used during Tank fights. (No more M10s wasting their shots at infantry etc )

3. You should always upgrade your Grenadiers with LMG42s if you have spare munitions. They're really good unlike in CoH1 and are pretty much considered a no brainer upgrade unless you use a doctrine that has G43. LMGs in this game are best used at long range.

4. Against USF it's recommendable to go T2 unless you pull off an early cut off move. Against good players you will need an AT-Gun and possibly a Scout Car. Instant T3 can work against Captain play (as it did in this game) but against a quick Lieutenant it will fall apart due to the strength of the M20. Brits and Soviets don't have the light vehicle power of the USF so T1-T3 is much better against those.

5. I would always build at least 3 Grens against USF because they have Panzerfausts which cause a guaranteed engine damage (similar to stickies in CoH1) if the vehicle gets below 75% health which is essential against light Vehicle play.

6. When playing competetively I wouldn't build the Sturmofficer. It's not terrible but there are better ways to invest your manpower. (another Gren, Panzergrenadier, Mortar, a different doctrine unit etc)

I may have forgotten something but that's it for now.

Btw, as you've probably already noticed the replay section isn't as active as it used to be on GR, people mostly watch streams instead. If you want more advice just post another replay I will check it out.

It makes sense if you want to be independent in random games. If you're in a team or you have a cooperating random teammate I would suggest relying on your teammate's support when it comes to AT and just rush T3. You'll have to work together when the FHT/Luchs comes out so you're probably gonna lose some map control but thats worth it imo.

Also don't forget the Penal's AT Rifles.

A lot of these maps aren't unbalanced but still shit mostly because they're too crowded. (too many houses, shot blockers etc)
