This is a match where I didn't lose a SINGLE unit, micro'd my units well, had a vet3 sniper with over 40 kills, and STILL lost the match. I don't know what to do anymore, it's like I've played this game 9 years and I still suck ass at it. I don't know. Maybe I should just uninstall coh2 and play something, because when you dedicate 9 years to playing coh1 and coh2 as my favorite game of all time and I still suck, whats the point in playing? Rather play pick up sticks with my buttcheeks then play rounds where I don't lose a single unit yet I still lose the match anyways.

I ended the round with 99 kills and 44 deaths, and yet I was STILL getting pushed off the map DESPITE that.

I was about to build a panther when the round ended, but my partner had already dropped.

mine does at 2560x1440 actually. well, baring AA and anisotropic.

GUess I might try that setting. It's one notch below 4k, I haven't tried it yet, I was afraid I'd have similar problems when I cranked up the resolution to 4k.

Skyrim supports 4k, and it's freaking beautiful.

Panzer IV is the safer choice. I rarely build the Ostwind. If were going to do an Ostwind, I'd need probably 2 pgrens with schrecks and perhaps an AT gun for it to fall back on. THe Ostwind is not much cheaper than a P4 and just doesn't counter any midgame tanks even though it's a tank itself.

It might work if you built a Stug first and the Stug killed the first 1 or 2 tanks that the enemy has built already to reduce the enemy tank threat. Stugs/Ostwinds are way less multi-purpose than a Panzer IV is, even if they have higher DPS for their specific battlefield roles.

In order to justify an Ostwind there needs to be factors that make it right for the situation, one would be a huge fuel advantage over my enemy, I.E. taking my enemies fuel point. If I know his fuel income is pretty bad compared to mine, I could justify an Ostwind since at most I'm facing vehicles, support weapons and infantry anyways. For my Ostheer plays, fuel advantages are rare unless the opponent is really bad because usually I find myself on the defensive in the early game as Wehrmacht until I get to the midgame t3 units.

The other factor might be, if fuel incomes were even, is if I had already had 2-3 AT units (preferably 3) and a soft counter to go with it like the Grenadiers Panzerfaust on the field already for the Ostwind to fall back on when facing the enemy tank (bait the tank into a trap perhaps) and was using the Ostwind for AI and Anti-Vehicle, and destroying buildings duties. It could work if you know your opponent, usually US, has already built a boat load of vehicles that the Ostwind could easily annihilate, or your Soviet opponent for whatever oddball reason, chose to build a half track and a couple T70's as opposed to a T34/76

TO me the Ostwind is much less multi-purpose than the Panzer IV is. The Panzer IV also gets superior veterancy at vet 2, is superior at countering enemy tanks even if it's not "great" at it, that 30% armor buff really helps it's survivability which means your micro doesn't have to be near as good to keep it alive as opposed to a vetted Ostwind. If your Ostwind runs into a T34, and the T34 kills it, or runs over a mine and a ZiS kills it, that will severely handicap your midgame, where at least the Panzer IV stands a fighting chance when facing an enemy medium tank.

Even against Easy 8's and M36's, a vet2+ Panzer IV doesn't die nearly as easily as a vetted Ostwind would, and poses a bit of a threat to enemy tank by itself since it's main gun is actually capable of damaging other tanks, even SU85's and rear shots on IS2's.

I was looking into this doctrine for the bane of my existence, the dual soviet snipers backed by several support units (Conscript w/ AT nades, guards infantry, eventually SU85's and such or if it's a 2v2, MG's and Zis) Granted I'm playing 2v2 mostly, occaisonally I play a 1v1, 3v3's and 4v4's its pretty much a non-issue though.

SO I was thinking Jaeger Infantry because you can cloak, when your unit is cloaked in cover so it denies the sniper a target, at least until it uncloaks plus you stand a solid chance of ambushing the soviet snipers as they attack-move across the map, People often mention G43's when talking about how to upgrade your grens so they can counter the sniper, a slightly well microed sniper can dodge a rifle grenade these days with relative ease, but the grens also get the ability to run, I.E. close the distance between your infantry and the sniper(s).

I took out the other Doctrine I was thinking of using to counter the snipers, Spearhead with the MTHT, but as you know mortar rounds are RNG dependent, and dependent on your opponent making a mistake, to kill a sniper. I rarely get a solid flame round off from it, and if I miss, it's 40 munitions gone. Since this one is more Muni dependent I can still get a PIV early into a round, and if the PIV gets vet1, it can chase down and kill snipers pretty well.

Not to mention Grens w/G43's and MG42's is probably the infantry unit with the most AI overall in the whole game even though it costs 105 munitions to pull off, helpful in massive infantry battles if you asked me.

What do you guys think?

Touch me on steam if you still searching.

I found a player under Za Rodinu! but he didn't have COH2 as one of his games. Is that you?
