However, I prefer replacing Tommies with heavy sappers. If you get a vet0 Sapper squad, research minesweepers and the Vickers_K upgrade

You're getting the minesweeper for the mines only? Or does it affect the squad/accuracy/dps as well?

Don't you lose a weapon because you replace it with a sweeper?

Hi Guys,

I'm one of those people who like to search for something before posting about it and making a fool of myself.

Any chance we can have a search functionality implemented?

Well that went south quick...

Quoting myself here:

You realize that the majority of players, so non-top 20 by your definition, face other problems?

Now, should relic make the game more enjoyable for 20 guys or several thousands...?

Several other guys already elaborated on what the problem is when you are an average player:
Axis are defensive fractions while Allies are offensive.
However, the amount of micro required to have an early advantage with allies is very high. An average player simply cannot achieve this. I play about 10-15 hours per week because I can't spent more time on CoH. As a resulut I'm a medium player at best.

I know I will never have a win chance of much more than 50%. That is totally fine.
The only thing I really care about is to not have frustrating game experiences. Unfortunately playing as Allies you get these a lot. A few examples:

• Axis MGs have a very wide arc and good suppression. My cons get pinned all the time (serious issue on narrow 2v2 maps - just not enough space to pull off flanks)
  
• OST Sniper? I try to counter it with a scout car - which is what they are supposed to do. When you drive by a Gren you get hit by Faust. Scout car pretty much gone...
  
• Shrek blobs are a serious problem - probably the biggest one for medium players. You wouldn't hear that many complaints about them otherwise. They just walk up to you and kill everything. (Demo's get destroyed by the odd mortar or LEIG round too often, 1 MG is not enough, 2 sometimes are but you run a serious risk of Pwerfer or Stuka (you see these a lot more in multiplayer mode)
  
• Event though it's an old issue but it describes the whole top 150 vs rest issue the best: The LEIG-Fest. Maybe it wasn't an issue for good players but damn how often did I set up an assault from multiple angles that got stopped dead because the LEIG suppressed several units even though they weren't even close together.
  

I know that all these issues can be resolved with better micro but if you don't/can't put in the hours, you're just stuck. Does this mean you don't deserve a game that is fun to play - not just for a very few number of excellent players?


I never insulted anyone here. I don't see the point of doing it. Just because you are good at something does not mean you get to be impolite!

You mean having elite infantry available in your tech tree makes call-in infantry redundant? I can totally see your problem.

Falls are excellent at mopping up team weapons so as allies you basically have to burn down houses around you or keep additional units around.
Oh and yeah they kill kats with just small arms...
