Hello Coh2 Players,

i developed a new faction idea as the third axis faction.
Maybe relic members read this and implement this faction or build a faction on this concept.
We all must consider that axis are and have been most of coh2 history on the backfoot, where allies have more advantages through the game than axis.
With this new faction idea we should keep in mind that german soldiers had superior soldier training, willpower and technologies to bring victory for the fatherland and that they used this to their advantage.
To make the faction unique this faction has only 1 Veterancy level that is hard to gain, but if you have it units become very dangerous.

Here comes the units for:

"Oberkommando Secret Weapons" or "Oberkommando Wunderweapons"

What you think about this faction as third axis faction? How do you think would it fit into the game with the other factions around?
Improvements and critics are welcome.

Give KT 100 range, 640 damage because fighting jacksons,su85, and slow ass expensive firefly+tulip with a JP fucking 4 AKA the best TD in the fucking game that solos all of those at vet 0 is too much effort. Not to mention it al fucking ready out ranges most mediums and can reach out and slap a Jackson on most maps even with its paltry 45 range.

Give KT 1000 front Armor because TOP 3 highest armor value in the game is NOT ENOUGH ARMOR.

Also, make KT main gun have twice the AOE, and one shot squads and AT guns even more so than it does currently.

thats the only way to fix this broken unit. +1

Edit: maybe replace sws truck auto call in with kingtiger battlegroups rolling in.

for me its worse at the beginning of a game, mostly 2-3 seconds.
then it gets slightly better but still randomly 0,5-2 seconds all the game long.

Hi everyone,

i played a lot of 3v3 and 4v4 games (all factions) automatched and have a question for you how to handle two situations that i find hard to deal with.
would be nice if you can give me advice on how to handle those situation. most of my problems i have when i play allies, and germans are kinda easier for me.

1. Problem: Early game vs MG spam (especially when theyre in buildings)

- Im facing the "mg spam" quite often vs ostheer. mostly 2 players focus on one side, every player builds 2 mgs, maybe one more and boom i have to deal with 4-6 mgs (in buildings) covering each other on strategic points.

what i try to do:
when i play US i try to tech grenades and try to "smoke and flank" with all my squads from different angles. but often those squads gets yellow suppressed and then forced to retreat all the way back home to base because grens are rolling in and supressed units deal no dmg.

as soviets for me its kinda easier, i build mortar and smoke barrage into molotov the mg, and that works pretty good. but here i have the problem that i can only smoke 1 MG resulting mostly in full retreat like when i play USF.

so what you guys do here?

2. Problem: Hoards of Infantry in one giant Blob.
- i really cant handle players who send all their infantry in one blob around the map. i just get steamrolled.
- if i manage to get the blob retreating, its usually a minute or two when the blob rolls in again and stronger then before.

what i try to do:
as USF: i try to build 50 cal mg, mostly 2 of them. but i cant get it work. usually the blob just runs into it and snipes both mg crews or just walks in and throws grenade.
i also tried the flaktruck but its hard to use vs a shreckblob because it dies when they get 1 shot off.
the only thing that works for me is he sherman but it comes too late for me, because then the game is mostly lost.

as Sov:
i use the maxim and democharges. it works better for me than as usf, because maxims 6 man squadsize. but the problem is similar to the one i have with usf.
when i use the t70 or the flaktruck it just dies to volley of the blob.


when i play germans i dont have much problems with allied blobs somehow..
as OKW: i try to use the kubel early game and its quite good until handheld at comes in. then i build leig and use captured enemy mgs for suppression.
i build flaktruck or luchs to deal with the blobs.

as wehrmacht i feel most comfortable with dealing with blobs. i usually get mg42, maybe another one later on to cover first one and mortar (and keep them close) and that stops most things.
if i see big blobs i just upgrade flame halftrack and later build either ostwind or P4.

no one play axis anymore because axis are way more difficult to play and require more micromanagement while allies just spam tanks and infantry into one blob and send them into enemy base.

i hope relic buffs axis so they have advantage at every stage of the game again because they had better technology and superior soldaten
