My friend and I have been playing some 2 vs 2, at first it was great, we followed our build orders and cap orders, we totally dominated. On our fifth game in, it was as if we were playing a completely different game where each, and every, German player absolutely dominated the field. Worse part was: we changed nothing.

Now I play Soviets and my friend plays US. We have a good synergy, usually choosing commanders based on opposition and what works best with each other. What is frustrating though, is that we don't lose through good tactic's, we've noticed that each German does the same thing: Stall and Tech. However the amount of AT they can produce is outstandingly painful, so armour isn't any good. They blob up, making it difficult to counter.

Questions are as follows:
1) What are we doing wrong?
2) Guards or Shock?
3) Are Germans obviously unbalanced, especially OKW?
4) Is Matchmaking totally ballsed up?

Before the rage hate replies arrive; what I have NOT said is "GERMANS OP!!1k&&3", Ostheer are perfectly balanced, we've found games against two Ostheer to be the closest, down to skill games. Its just the OKW "Five+ ranks of Veterancy, on the run AT support by dirt cheep armour that has so many skills you need two keyboards". However I will accommodate honest, constructive replies regarding OKW, just please don't butt-hurt here. I understand that most of you Play to Win, which is the reason why certain people will butt-hurt about the OKW comments, but; Grow up. Its an honest evaluation.

I went against two immensely ranked players the other day. One had three ranks of Prestige (Siberian) and the other was a similar rank. Pinned by the Kubels, with no decent early counter, I was brutalised by a Flak truck very early game, and it was over. Matchmaking also appears to be out of sync, or everyone who plays OKW just plays to win and, thus, has a higher rank.

Anyhow the point is; what is the point? If everyone plays Germans, and the majority of them play OKW, why bother? Should I just join them and be "Pro" through unbalance? Or can you help me defeat the OKW "Pro-notreallyimanoob" OKW players?

Many thanks indeed

Hi everyone,

Just thought I would post the usual, generic post about being new to CoH2.org. Played the games since release, loved them. Never really played however against human opponents. So I thought I would join up here, learn some stuff and give it a go.

Wish me luck
