Thread: Need help as soviets7 Jul 2013, 10:56 AM I've been playing a lot of 3v3 and 4v4 (am waiting for some balance patch for 1v1) and, yeah, as Ostheer I win 75% of the time. You can't balance 3v3 and 4v4, it really does come down to skill. When I get beat by Soviets its because they play as a team in a way you don't have to as Ost. Good Sovs will swarm fuel points and use scripts to full advantage. You will see early MG teams and Zis. SU85 will appear early and will be used intelligently with teammates other AT assets. They will always push forwards. They will be well supported with mortars. Early German light vehicles will be pwned with nades and guards. I just won a game on the Steppes map where the Soviet player was good but kept falling back. He made good use of M3 and maxim teams but didn't use early infantry properly. Specifically, he saw me going for a big T1 with grens and went duh guards. Had he gone shocks with snipers I'd have been in for a world of hurt. When a guy on my team lost the middle fuel point and I sent a flamer halfie up there there was no ZiS. Oh, and given the Ostheer preference for Stuka spam at the moment (I am indeed guilty) I am seeing a resurgence of the AA halfie by the soviets. I've never seen so many plane crashes in one game. Plus, the M5 allows you to reinforce in the field... on those big maps it's a long walk back to the front! So my point is (and this is where lobbies are so important) that the teams need to decide who is making what. Good soviet teams in big games are a terrifying joy to behold - perpetual motion with excellent joint arms operability. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: There is no point playing Ostheer 1v1 anymore6 Jul 2013, 15:45 PM A half-decent Ostheer meta is starting to crawl out of the primordial ooze of early CoH2. It is, quite simply (for mortals) grenspam, halfie flamer breakthrough unit, a couple of MGs and a quick PzIV. Or a variation thereof. OTOH Sovs have a bucketload of tactical approaches. Played a dude the other day who was using German sniper (only one) to great effect. Lastly, the maps really don't help. Where are the decent 1 v 1 maps? In: COH2 Balance

Thread: DEV Feedback?5 Jul 2013, 12:58 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jul 2013, 09:58 AMBirdKiller Reading through this and companyofheroes.com forum and developer's twitter, you'd have no idea of where this game is heading or if it even has a future, much less address some outstanding issues that's been identified since the beta. This is pretty much it. I know Relic must be pretty fatigued after shipping the game, but they need to keep some momentum. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: There is no point playing Ostheer 1v1 anymore5 Jul 2013, 00:03 AM Well, Brits had fixed / linear teching so I can't see the connection. I think your issue might be (a) flexible early tech (I mean do you choose a solid inf or support strat and stick to it?) (b) resource denial and (c ) commander. Getting these three plates spinning nicely for a sov is the win button. Deny Ost fuel and (esp) munis and he's more fucked than a working girl on Navy Day. To do that you can use good support doctrine with scripts or M3 with scripts into a rapid SU85 or if you are really doing well T34 for the overwhelm. So as I said in the other thread its about the map rotation too, which currently sucks donkey balls in 1 v 1 (maps too big or campy or both). In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Need help as soviets4 Jul 2013, 23:58 PM I'm not going to flame you guys, but as a predominantly Ostheer player who is routinely kicked to death by Soviet cheese tactics I ain't gonna help you either Having said that, maps maps maps. I think that vCoH almost had 'plays' for certain maps that hasn't really developed in CoH2 yet. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: There is no point playing Ostheer 1v1 anymore4 Jul 2013, 23:48 PM I think it's fascinating that Enix has had an opposite experience to so many us playing Ost. Enix, could you share you vCoH thoughts / experience and tell us if this has impacted on the way you've approached CoH2? Am intrigued. In: COH2 Balance
