Thread: Help a Wehrmacht noob deal with RE blobs15 Oct 2018, 08:46 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Oct 2018, 03:42 AMAcrossThePacific 0 VS AcrossThePacific CODGUY 22 Wrecked by USF RE blobs by: AcrossThePacific map: Kholodny Ferma 8 - Used a standard 3 grenadier opening against a bizarre USF build order that consisted of nothing but rear echelons and a mortar. Early game was good (or so I thought) until his AA halftrack came out and then his RE blobs with weapon rack upgrades came charging in. Tried to get rid of his halftrack with a Pak but it got destroyed twice, and it was all downhill from there. I felt that I had an advantage early on. Any tips on what went wrong, or how to deal with this no-rifle build? Thanks! Hey man. You have already gotten a lot of great advice here, so I would just finish off by beating my own drum, and link to the guide I've written with the specific focus of helping inexperienced players getting a better grasp of the fundamentals https://www.coh2.org/guides/70864/from-recruit-to-veteran In: Replay Reviews

Thread: Faymonville as Brits8 Oct 2018, 12:57 PM Jump back to quoted post8 Oct 2018, 00:01 AMLoopDloop Thanks for the advice. I usually build 2 sections in 1v1s and I probably should have here. I'll probably just stick to that from here on out since it did end up hurting me as you said. That first engineer was mostly cuz I was being greedy lol. I was wanting to drop a model off the sturms so he'd have to retreat them later but didn't think they'd get wiped so fast. Misjudgement on my part. Yeah I kept seeing him just pulling out ober after ober and I was thinking "oh shoot I'm done for". I guess not, so I'm not complaining. Thanks for the tip about the tactical map, it was very useful in my later games. Thanks again for the whole review. The tactical map is a bit like cilantro: some people swear by it and other people can't stand it I personally have improved my ranking immensely by making intensive use of the tac map. If you find it usefull as well I highly suggest that you do two things: 1. Watch tightropes tip and trics videos on what you can and can't do from the tactical map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BM_Ufn-7YY&t=6s 2. Download autohotkey and rebind your tactical map to a more convenient place on the keyboard. If you use the grid based hotkeys, I would recommend the spacebar, tab- or capslock key for the tactical map (I use caps lock). In: Replay Reviews
Thread: Comfortable return to OKW3 Oct 2018, 19:35 PM My OKW rank had suffered quite a bit from decay and I feared that I had become rusty, but I still managed to achieve a convincing win over a significantly higher ranked opponent. My vehicle throw was real, but my infantry micro was on point In: Replays
Thread: Allies are so so well balanced right now... NOOOOOT2 Oct 2018, 18:24 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2018, 16:03 PMPanzerKampf All the strategists on this forum are probably fake. You probably wouldn't last 10 minutes in a 1v1. Stop being so superior and elitist. I'm probably one of the lowest ranked strategists here, and I would urge you to put your money where your mouth is. I'll even sweeten the deal for you even further. You choose the map, the factions, and either my choice of doctrines or to lock out my use of a single tier and I would still put money on myself. Heck, you can even get to choose to play an allied faction since they are apparently so blatantly overpowered In: Replays
Thread: [1v1] Soviet T12 Oct 2018, 12:21 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2018, 12:02 PMgbem hmm well i disagree on some points aswell 0. penal PTRS actually pair nicely with the T-34-76 and the flamer engineer... its anti infantry maybe bad but coupled with the T-34-76 and the flamer engineers its actually oppressively strong... its anti tank is also bad alone... but the T-34 can ram a tank and satchel the bastard to kingdom come... the strength of the soviet union comes from its synergy 2. is not exactly effective vs OKW imo... their MG is easily flankable removing the need for mortars and the maxim is absolute trash... the zis is good but a AT penal + m3a1 scout car can actually eliminate a luchs in the right hands... soo yeah id rather rush a T-70 or a T-34 over going for T2 vs okw... wehrmacht may necessitate a mortar 3. depends on the situation... but in that situation a T-70 would have been better 4. hmmm yes it is a fine choice vs okw provided its microed enough to get 30 odd kills... otherwise i could buy an m3 + a flamer engineer and further abuse its strength vs blobs... 5. PTRS penals should only be taken once u hear a light vehicle... and get only one... once u get at least 2 T-34s however the synergy is strong enough for you to mount PTRS on all penals and get away with it generally... use ram to disable enemy tanks smoke to stop enemy MGs and satchel the expensive kraut to death... 6. agreed... 3 flamers and a sweeper is good imo 7. the reason why i love flamers is simple... it traps okw on a catch 22... either run away from green cover and be shredded by my penals/T34 or become KFC... damn now im hungry... If anything our disagreements just show how versatile this game is and how many ways there are to achieve sucess. Praise be coh2 In: Replay Reviews
Thread: Allies are so so well balanced right now... NOOOOOT1 Oct 2018, 19:16 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Oct 2018, 19:00 PMPanzerKampf Bashing without seeing the replay? Go see the replay first moron. If I was expected to watch your replays every time you were whining about balance I would never have time to play myself. Noone in here is getting paid for doing reviews, so unless you plan on changing that, I'm only going to review the replays that I please. To increase the chance of a review you need to do the following. 1. Stop whining about balance. 2. Be specific about what you would like the reviewer to focus on. 3. Be sincere in your request that you would like to improve and get better with the specific faction. 4. Make a proper title for your rewiew (see #1) 5. Stop f***ing whining about balance. In: Replays
Thread: [1v1] Soviet T11 Oct 2018, 17:04 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Oct 2018, 14:13 PMGbpirate Thanks to both of you for your help and advice I'd be down to do some 1v1s with you, Joshua! I think it'd be fun!! Cool. I don't know how flexible you are timewise, because usually I'll only have time to play after 20 p.m. in the gmt+1 timezone. But if we can make this work, then it would be good with a couple of scrims In: Replay Reviews
