Probably worth a watch to get some ideas on how to beat it. 0 VS PaRaNoMiA dinner Box Bissonnette ~TAB~ Puppetmaster Beating Mr Cancer by: Puppetmaster map: Across the Rhine 1 - My general strategy was to use German Mechanized Doctrine (4CP Smoke Bombs, 5 CP Spotting Scopes, LeFh & Command Tank). Lefh is the key to emplacement spam in longer games, should you be able to survive till 8 CP. It is pretty difficult for a Brit to keep up repairs with on map firing at you. Panthers are also pretty important as well as you need tanks that can safely park in front of a bofors. I started out with a Gren heavy build, skipping an mg entirely. Knowing he would go emplacements (its all he ever does) an MG isn't all that useful if its forced away by a mortar constantly. With Grens you are able to keep mobility which is pretty key. I then fast teched to T2 and got 2x 222's and a PaK out. 222's are a great unit because of the mobility on a map like that they can offer. They kill any pesky Brens that are still around. Once they hit vet 2 with spotting scopes, you have a nice map hack. My next plan was just to decap their fuel while trying to hold ours. Because of all the fuel invested in emplacements + them not always holding their fuel, he was only able to get a Cromwell out 1 min before I had a panther. I also built 3 fuel caches as soon as I could to speed up the panther. Once my Panther was built I pretty much had enough resources to build an LeFh straight away. Once I started firing he ended up quitting (rage ? ). They probably could have won it just by VP camping but his emplacement spam was effectively dead once that was on the field. My ally did have some issues with the USF down south at some points - would have liked to have helped him out more but it is important to try to deny them fuel as well as minimize bleed to get the above units out. He also tried to use MHT & mortars to kill the emplacements. However counter barrage was causing him problems (this should mostly be fixed when the patch hits). Once counter barrage is less effective / spammable, them heavy indirect fire will be more viable. Spotting scopes + paks are a decent way of taking out bofos. You need to bait his barrage though so your pak can safely fire. Not to rain on your parade but.... you guys were losing 85-498 VPs with almost no map control until the brit player dropped from the game. Until that point you had killed 0 of his 3 emplacements. Maybe you meant to show how strong the brit cheese is LOL. Side note: it's hilarious to watch an un-braced bofors almost outheal the damage from 2 mortar HT flame barrages + normal attacks with only repairs from the forward assembly engineers. Good shit.

Thread: Jaeger Infantry Doctrine.25 Mar 2015, 06:29 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Mar 2015, 19:42 PMFrost I have no advices yet, but I trying to make a big guide about this doc. Only i can show you my replays Enjoy! #1 #2 Not sure if I'd include the first game in there but w/e. Anyway, I'm still not convinced that Jaeger is worth taking over Lightning Warfare. I mean you give up the tiger just to get camo and light arty. Even in those two games the camo didn't really do much despite it costing 30 muni. What are your thoughts on this? In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Help me improve. 7 Mar 2015, 20:50 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2015, 20:31 PMaaa Also have question If in the opening he builds several fuel things on MP points. What should I do then? Destroing them with cons take ages. 3 options: 1- Be aggressive! If the enemy builds early caches then that's manpower not going into building units. You should outnumber him (especially as soviets) and should push him off the map. 2- Go for the cutoffs. If you can't destroy the caches themselves, then try to get the cutoff points so that he doesn't get the resources. This won't always be possible depending on the map and his placement, but it's good to keep in mind. 3- Wait for some munis and get flamethrowers on your engineer. Flamers clear caches relatively quickly. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: ostheer CAS overperforming.7 Mar 2015, 19:54 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2015, 18:05 PM☭ Калашникова ☭ I use CAS a lot so let me break it down: CAS is primarily used for (at least in my case) to counter Artillery happy allied players. The JU-87 and its 37mm AT strafe is one pass and a skillshot and has a very long cooldown (I believe its 80s) This being the case unless your tank is right on the edge of the map you normally wont have trouble dodging it if your micro is at least decent. In team setups however, It is essential to have to prevent B-4 spamming cheese. The AI strafe is IMO the strongest part of the doctrine as it lets you spam LMG's and win every engagement vs US rifle spam. While this is a cheesy solution It is currently one of the only effective ones as boxes are now not worth the doctrine choice if you discount the OKW fuel boosting. (Also a cheese strat) This is the only Wehrmacht doctrine that gets a AI strafe other than Assault support and that is also now a joke due to the nerfs to the Opal truck and tiger just not being the tank it used to be. Fuel to muni transfer is the same as its always been, You are cutting tanks on a faction with already high fuel costs. And finally the effective stuka dive bomb. At the end of the day When playing on a team you must have it equipped for B4's or Arty spam. Shock rifle frontline counters this very well, As well as good kat truck play. ISU-152 if cared for properly will absolutely shit on this as he wont have many tanks if any. If you must infantry blob vs this, the AI strafe can be dodged so its not a auto win 1 click like the Opal one is. For USF Scotts work great, As well as bulldozer Shermans. HE Shermans can work too. And demo's are generally very effective vs this type of play. FHQ and B-4 in team games are very unfun to play against as well when you don't have proper counters at your disposal. Especially against a coordinated team. The fact that B-4 Has the potential to 1 shot a JT,KT,TA is broken since it has precision strike and is smokeless. Wish LeFH was even close to being as good since it costs the same its kinda a joke. This is also correct the 110 MU 37mm strafe will 1 shot Fixed guns 95% of the time (It can fail due to it being on a weird hill incline or behind trees or a building) I understand where you're coming from in terms of countering allied cheese in team games, but CAS is seeing really high use in 1v1s too. I think the flexibility of the doctrine and the fact that EVERY commander ability is useful makes it stand out from others. It supports all stages of the game and a variety of strategies (use muni transfer to rush lmgs, use air support in place of tanks, or just use air to support armor). It's not to say that the doctrine is unbeatable or anything, but I think it's fairly forgiving due to WM's strength with basically unlimited munitions. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Ladder & Matchmaking. Plz explain me3 Mar 2015, 22:48 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Mar 2015, 22:36 PMVon Sturm Yes, explain me. Why as 1000+ player, I fight top 50 player EVERY TIME ? How does the ladder system ? Plz, explain. Thx. This explains everything: http://blogs.companyofheroes.com/2014/09/19/matchmaking-in-company-of-heroes-2-and-elo/ TL;DR Because there are so few people playing at any time, the game has to find imperfect matches for you. This can result in facing people either way better or worse than you. HOWEVER since the game uses hidden ELO, your opponent might be ranked much higher than you but are actually around the same skill level as yourself. Don't be discouraged by people's rank or time played, you'll only psych yourself out. Hell my friend and I play casually and get placed vs a lot of SturmTiger guys, Sib, etc and we still do well most of the time. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Map Hacking27 Feb 2015, 23:06 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Feb 2015, 22:25 PMGreenDevil I would like to hear other peoples thoughts on the amount of times they have suspected their opponent of map hacking? I think it might be getting more frequent and more players resorting to cheating to help with balance. Suspecting my opponent of map hacking has been getting somewhat more frequent for me lately, and I have put it down to the stale meta and unsatisfactory balance of the game. So for example, in the past 2 weeks I have suspected about 3-4 opponents of map hacking, but before that it was lucky to be 1 player since release and even then I wasn't sure. But now, blatant map hacks like driving around teller mines, artying units spot on in the fog of war (every time no miss), flanking with infantry and going around mines. Completely and totally avoiding troop concentrations and attacking the most vulnerable units (every single time), with no scouting. Calling in AT Partisans in a house next to OKW truck setting up in fog of war. (If any of these can be explained please enlighten me) I even had one player drive a single SU 85 into my base to get a shot at a Panther I was repairing, completely avoiding a concentrated attack me and my team mate were forming up for on the other side of the map in the fog of war. There was no way he could of known my base was undefended. I know some of these things can be luck, but I find more often then not that it can't be if it keeps happening to them time and time again. Not ruling out your suspicions, but there are several possible explanations: -Unless you're placing mines in really unique spots, their placement can be pretty predictable, especially on certain maps. -Arty landing right on troops is relatively poor proof since it has pretty decent spread. Also it's not that uncommon to throw out barrages in possible locations even without sight. -If you listen closely in the fog of war you can hear vehicles and things (possible that your opponent heard the truck and/or saw stuff get crushed?). Like others said though, a replay is the closest to real proof you can provide, even though it's still not concrete. In: COH2 Gameplay
