I started playing vcoh with the arrow keys only. Then versus high level guys, I found it pretty difficult to keep my eyes on everything and to do some basic actions like throwing a nade, sticky, getting out of building in time, planting mines, even reinforcing was a pain.

You have to force yourself to use hotkey. I remapped mine to esdf for camera and others actions keys. I remember seeing myself going back to the arrow keys without even noticing, or keep using the nade/sticky icons with the cursor.

Globally, it took me a few days to get used to it and 1 or 2 weeks to see ingame massive improvements.

edit: now I just can't play without it, I'll find me slow and passiv.

I agree that the pure damage of the Maxim makes it a viable combat unit, rather than a support unit, up until a Flammenwerfer is unleashed.

Counters do exist however, one of my favourites being to deny engagements and focus on capping until you can get out a flammenwerfer. Without guards from earning CPs, a four maxim strat is far weaker.

If the maxims are supplementing a conscript force (say 2-3 'scripts and 1-2 maxims), then they are obviously playing a largely infantry army, that could be countered effectively by a defensive position and commander choice, or the same as above, but with even more scope for vehicles due to the fuel that would inevitably be dumped into conscript upgrades (moltovs and AT nades). Especially use of buildings with your own MGs, to force molotovs, and to counter attack from. Whilst maxims do a tremendous amount of dps, they lack the sheer suppression of the MG 42, especially with their narrow firing arc.

I'll bitch as much as I like, thanks. I don't have infinite time to play, I sink enough of it into CoH as it is and this shit isn't much fun atm.

So, please, can it.
