Thanks for the input.

Hi there,

can someone explain and/or provide a replay on how to play as OKW+OST or OKW+OKW on the maps mentioned in the title? Maybe against Maxim spam, double Soviet mortar spam or SU-85 spam? I wanna get some insight in how to beat 2v2 opponents wo decide to rush certain areas on the map and lock them down especially.

Before someone tries it, no, blobbing doesn't work against Maxims. Not that I would be a fan of blobbing anyway.

The to-go strat for Allies in 2v2 seems to be rushing one point, locking it down and pushing forward from that point again and again and again to not allow the Axis to recover and retake. For example the USF-SOV combo: SOV rushes houses in the south of Vaux Farmlands or how its called, spams 4 Maxims, ZIS gun and SU-85 spam, locks down the entire area and the rest of the game is both sides fighting over the remaining two VPs with the Allies winning before late game.

Or double Brits on Rails and Metal, who rush the southern VP and the house, lock down everything with mortar pit and bofors and continue to rush and push and pressure so the Axis players are always under fire and can't afford vehicles fast enough. LeIGs suck btw, they can't kill SOV mortars or HMGs sufficiently fast and since they have no suppression anymore, even infantry laughs at them. Kinda sad.

Maybe 2v2 is just meant to be this way instead of 4 players playing a 1 v 1 with occasional help from their teammate.

Its important to acknowledge that volks literally received 20% damage increaes this patch. Before, having shrecks on them made them significantly more vulnerable to infantry, now they can brawl with infantry even with shrecks on way easier especially since they hit veterancy quickly due to the shrecks hitting vehicles.

Additionally, the increased resources of the OKW makes it so more shreck volks can be fielded. There is a LARGE difference between 2-3 volks squads with shrecks and a rocketen vs 5-6 volks squads with shrecks and a rocketen. The timing window and magnitude of all allied armor is decreased exponentially this patch. Even pershing has to be scared of the volks.

The mindbaffling thing is you guys always make it sound as if you would always play the same way, trying to drive into OKW and suddenly discovering that he actually has some Schrecks. This bullshit about being able to "brawl" has to stop as well, when they still only have rifles that are doing the same damage now as let's say those of Riflemen. What exactly is so hard with stopping a 5-6 Volks blob, please enlighten me. No smoke, no suppression resistance or even suppression break, no assault rifles, no sprint, no vehicle snare. What on earth are you doing when you complain about a Schreck blob. A single MG is enough to stop them. Spreading out your Riflemen which are upgraded with BARs or M1919s for 60/70 munitions each against a blob of Volks which are upgraded with a 90 munitions Schreck can't be that hard, can it?

There is no way in hell Volks with Schrecks outperform Riflemen with LMGs or BARs. Do you actually know what the easiest way to play an RTS like CoH2 is? Blobbing, because you can temporarily overpower certain stuff while keeping your army easy to navigate. Do you know what the easiest thing to counter is in an RTS like CoH2? Blobbing. Your opponent has the majority of his army in one place while you are free to be active at other places, with some micro management required. A single HMG suppresses the blob and forces it to retreat. There is no Oorah or Fireup, Volks just lay down on the ground and pray for the bullets to stop flying. Keep your vehicle(s) at max distance. I know that USF vehicles suck against infantry compared to the OKW FlakHT and Luchs, but please...

Holy shit, this is really getting hilarious.

I think you are just bored by the game.
