Ehm, what response are you expecting to this thread?
"2 or 3" 120mm should be easy to counter, since its a huge investment (800 respectively 1200 mp if i'm correct) so you're lacking lots of capping power. A stuka that can come about 3-5 mins after the 120 hard-counters it.

This is a l2p issue.

In Team games I said. just try it, i was surprised but it´s actually working.

Urban defense is totally OP on maps as Semoiski. It pretty much gives you an indestructible fortress in the first 7 minutes, including an aura and healing. Even Paks and flamethrowers as well as mortars need incredibly long to take buildings down. Add to that the blob of infantry that strives around the forward HQ swarming out as soon as a unit fires on the HQ and they struggle even more

It s sad, but the only way to surely counter a FHQ with Ostheer is the mortar half track and his Napalm mortar. the building burns to the ground in less than one Minute. That´s why i always have a commander with this unit in my pool to Counter it.

The normal mortar depends too much on luck and can be easily countered with a russian mortar next to the FHQ.

You mean BLOBBING...That i hope never happens again after the new patch release by Relic, which i expect it this month.

Bah not really. Blobbing is dangerous as allies considering the stuka zu fuss and the MGs/ FLAK truck suppression.

I meant to focus on one side of the map. it doesn t necessary mean blob.

I play mostly soviet with a 4 conscripts opening. Counter the kübel also depends on map (if there is enough building cover ect...).But here is a tip, when the kübel withdraw to repair you schould always follow it to finish it and not capture territory. the Asspios seem to take extra damage when they repair.

For me an other big problem is the übersoldaten. they are absolutly ridiculous. they stay in the middle of a battlefield and wipe conscript in green cover. ok it s a T4 unit, ok conscript is not the best unit in the game, but CoH is a game where you are supposed to use the battlefield and cover. Here you have a unit that you can use on attack move.

Hi El slayer,

"You've left your allies outnumbered. They got defeated and had to stop their push and retreat. Then enemy came for you, and you had to retreat all the way through their lines, losing couple of squads. Instead of coordination you let your enemy to beat you part by part."

The main bulk of my allies was without me, but an unexpected attack on the main base always cause stress and under stress you make mistakes. Even if you don´t win an advantage by attacking the main base, you at least surprised him.

And also three allies working together is enough in my opinion. the last one can be used to harass the enemy.

"Again, if allies is so coordinated (say, they playing as arranged team) then why you assume that axis can't react in same coordinated manner? I know, it is somewhat map dependent, because, for example, on Vielsam indeed it is hard throw your army from one side of map to another.
But here also comes another problem. If I play vanila faction I have to retreat to my HQ in base sector. If I'm trying to fight on flank that is far from my HQ, my army will spend 90% of game time walking rather than fighting.
"

It is true that axis can also react together. But most of the time the okw Players don´t even think about what the enemy is going to do when they decide where to put their trucks. The fact remains that the ressources used in the FHQ won´t be there for a counter attack on an other front, as skilled as a Team can be.

on maps that don´t allow to fight together you can still go middle without Walking too much and Support your allies on the other sides.

"Encircle how? He has healing+retreat point nearby. He will attack you constantly and get back for healing and reinforcing, while your army will go thin.
I play mostly soviet. As a soviet player I have no handheld AT and have quite crappy stock vehicles which I won't use unless I'm already ahead. So I'm very dependant on my AT guns in order to fend off Luchs or Flak HT, until I will able to use my call-ins. Meanwhile my enemy have retreat+healing nearby and don't have to rely on team weapons with setup time and restricted arc of fire. Tell me how you call me more moblile with these AT guns?
"

Well the OKW can t be everywhere at once, and conscript vs volks early are a pretty fair fight. I agree with your Argument, but i still don´t think it is a good idea to attack a FHQ if you got the same amount of Units as the enemy. the t34/76 is actually not that bad. it is fast and can retreat pretty easily, though rather useless against medium, heavy tanks and FLAK Trucks.

Anyway one allied Player will never take alone a OKW Player with a FHQ Support and a FLAK truck. the only way to do it is to coordinate an attack with your Team mates. Even if the axis Team work together, you will have at least 40 seconds before a decent Counter attack arrives. As I said in the first post, i also don´t think that the game is balanced in 4vs4 match up.

The Flack Truck is the dumbiest Thing ever
