can you post yours?

Hey all,

I really like the elite troops doctrine so I've purchased it a few days ago.

I am currently struggling to play with it because of the new mechanics and play style I have to adapt, I either lose really bad in the early game or steamroll my opponent with panzers and the tiger ace.

What is the general idea I have to bear in mind while playing this commander?

Also I've never used the ace before but, what are its strengths? AA, AT? Should I charge with it as the spearhead or use it long-d like a JP4?

PLUS: General question, what kinds of bulletins should I go for when playing OST or OKW? Currently I'm doing reload and accuracy for grens/volks, ISG barrage CD on OKW and MG reload on OST.

Thing is, you kinda have to adapt to the map, and your mates. Same build order won't work every time.

If you require supression platforms, try Luft / Fort for MG34 - optional bunkers / mines with the latter also help a lot, and Zero arty will be "useful" again once the brace nerf hits the field.
For 3v3+ i've got Fort always equipped, since WFA release. Same as Scavenge (< neat doc to bleed pricy infantry with JLI, JP4 > Ostwind works nicely vs. Brits as well).

Do you usually play random 3v3 as OKW? Do you have a playercard for me?

I always queue with my buddies and do 2v2s and 3v3s.
And what is a playercard?

Yep.

Long story short, I'm a new player and I suck.
I've been trying to follow the guide: http://www.coh2.org/guides/21246/okw-special-operations-double-agent
And I'm getting success following exactly what the guide taught me to do fighting against USF and SUs.

Usually I follow strictly the guide's build order.
(3 Volks, Mechanized, AT Gun, 4th Volk, Stuka/Puma, Stuka/Puma, PSchreks, Hospital and ISG and finally Obersoldaten, and your usual tanks.)

Usually I rush and stomp the opposition in the early game (Sturms OPOP), cap with Volks and slowly suffer for the mid transition, and then bring out the big guns to seal the deal.

But as the UKFs was released, I find myself losing the eary game pretty consistently.
Green covered ISs and the flame-spitting car is just too much.
Vickers have a much larger arc than Maxims, and the 40mm just wrecks my Volks hard.

Sometimes I'm lucky enough to survive and still remain formidable in the mid. (Through mining, flanking, godlike Stukas etc.)
But when the British tanks hit the field, my Puma just can't fight them unlike T34s and Shermans.
Also Stuka barrages just does jack-all against them mortal pits, 40mms and AT Camps.
Let alone whatever units they've got wrecks even Obersoldatens.
When the JP4, P4 and Panther hits the field. It's usually too late.

So, what should I do against the Brits, and how do I plan my mid-game against USF and SUs?
