Two things that came to my mind when I was reading your post
1) Have you tried using control groups? Doing so will allow you to quickly look at what they are doing, just by double-tapping group number.
2) Try looking at the minimap as often as you can (like every couple of seconds). Checking a tactical map is also a very good idea to help you keep your awareness on what is going on.
1: yes i use ctrl groups for all my units, i use a mouse with some buttons at side and i use them as following:
1 - Tanks
2 - Tank destroyers
3 - Infantry
4 - Mortar
5 - HMG
6 - Light Vehicle
7 - Sniper
8 - Artillery
9 - PAK
0 - Pioneers
i also use every ability with hotkey now and it works so far.
2: I think thats a big problem i have. I want to controll everything, but i am too slow i think and then i go full tunnelvision and forget to check minimap and unit icons. I tried to use tacmap too but mostly in teamgames i cant read anything out of it because of so much stuff on it.
My advice there,is to keep your stuff in a "lane" of the map,if you find yourself overwhelmed micro wise.
Okay ill try to keep my force more together i think it will help me.
But in some games i was insulted with noob, idiot, etc. for having my units at 1 tactical point, at 1 vp for example. when i was switching to teammates place for support, the enemy capped all the territory back.
so im often confused where i should focus and what to capture/hold.
Have you watched/tried these tips?

yes thanks i watched/read every replay/guide on this forum
1v1 skills(Especially micro skills) translate to 2v2 very well,and once you master micro,it then turns to being about working with your teammate to be good in 2v2.
okay i will try 1v1 again but i suck so bad at those games i only won a handful games and all of those wins were versus very bad players.
i think my micro is not good, but not bad. i often struggle to multitast in those games... so where to go now, what to cap now, which unit to send where to do what etc... i try to improve but mostly i get insulted and not givin tips what i do wrong or what i could done better. i try to do some games and then maybe upload a replay
