Thread: Commander Tiers8 May 2015, 09:39 AM More experienced players, might have a different list but that's why it's an overall tierlist. I created the topic (http://www.coh2.org/topic/33573/commanders--an-overwhelming-amount-of-options) because I was looking for something like this. And now here it is, you have my thanks! This will be a great help for me to focus my learning of the different commanders. And to be honest, debating the commander list and personal preferences in the comments will only help me more, so please do continue! In: Guides

Thread: Commanders - an overwhelming amount of options.17 Apr 2015, 06:44 AM Thanks for the replies everyone. With the (mix of) commanders mentioned I now have a bit of a basis on where to start amongst all the choices. Also nice to see some soviet AT tips. As said I've only been playing for a while again. Once I get a bit more familiair with the game I will check out some more indepth guides that focus on specific commanders. There seem to be plenty of good guides on here. @Van Voort: That looks like a nice in-depth tiering system which would make a lot of sense for a game like CoH since you're often building a unit to counter someone - so to have a sense of how a commander (or unit for that matter) would do in various situations would be of great value.

Thread: Commanders - an overwhelming amount of options.16 Apr 2015, 21:01 PM That surely helps Cookiez, thanks for that. I currently play with some friends of mine, we're still in the phase of getting to know all the units and commanders. We've literally started playing again since like 2 weeks ago. I expect we will mainly be playing 2v2 or 3v3 matches. In CoH1 I also played the 1v1 ladder, when I am a bit more familiar with the game I will most likely pick that up again aswel. Currently I enjoy OKW/Ostheer and USF the best. USF riflespam is quite familiar to me and now they have bazooka's aswel.. good stuff Ostheer feels quite like the Wehr from CoH1 albeit there's a lot less 'bunkering' yourself into a location. I like the trucks OKW has, especially the alternative retreat point. For some reason I can't get much done with the Soviets, I don't really like their infantry. Perhaps it's because I'm used to getting shrecks and all other 3 factions (if you count rifles with bazooka's) have something like that whereas the soviets seem to be lacking in that department. I'm sure they can fill the role with other units, I just haven't played them that much yet. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Commanders - an overwhelming amount of options.16 Apr 2015, 20:16 PM Great to hear about that mini guide, that will no doubt help a ton. Currently for OKW and USF I don't have many issues, considering I only have 3 commanders for those. But for the other 2 factions I simply don't know what to pick. I try to always have a mixture of 3 commanders that always have 1 more focussed on armor, 1 on infantry and 1 support-ish. I'm Still trying them out, but considering there are so many I was sort of looking for a guide of sorts that can tell me which ones to focus on - if any. Are there any pure crap commanders - as in, ones I should never use? And vice vera are there commanders that should always be taken as one of the three? In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Commanders - an overwhelming amount of options.16 Apr 2015, 15:24 PM Greetings. I recently started playing Company of Heroes 2 again. Again? Yes "Back in the day" I played a LOT of Company of Heroes 1 and absolutely loved it. I preordered CoH2 pretty much as soon as that was possible but when it was released for some reason I didn't really get into it, possibly because it felt like the game was still in development and the whole commander and bulleting unlocking thing seemed like a pay2win system. So I more or less shoved it off and whenever I felt like playing CoH I played the CoH1 steam version. So now here we are a couple of years later and a friend of mine got CoH2 and was asking me to play. So I figured I'd give it another try and to my surprise I got lots of goodies when I started up the game and it feels almost like a different game now compared to when it was just released - in a good way - since I'm really enjoying it. Now after we've got that out of the way, this is my actual problem. There are so many choices regarding commanders that I'm not sure what to go for. Some are uncommon, some are rare. Does that mean those are strictly better? I have looked at the commander guides - but that feels more like an explanation of the commanders with some tips. What I'm sort of looking for is a "choose commander X vs Y"-tierlist with explanation. For example. --------- When playing Soviet vs OKW Tier 1 Commander A - Overall the best commander to pick, can react to most situations because.. Commander B - This commander is a toppick against OKW if they rush Armor because... Commander C Tier 2 Commander D Commander E Tier 3, Tier 4... Stay away from these, they are useless ----------- Is it like that, if so is there something like that? Or is it simply - you can pick any commander they are all balanced it only slightly enhances your play? In: Strategy Desk
