Thread: Is Airborne Company still viable?22 Apr 2016, 13:02 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2016, 11:30 AMAerohank 2 reasons. The first is the concentrated fire ability, which rangers do not have. Second reason is.. I don't have heavy cav company. Rangers are tankier though due to the size of their models. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Is Airborne Company still viable?22 Apr 2016, 11:19 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Apr 2016, 20:15 PMAerohank I love airborne simply for the Thompson Paratroopers. They are the ultimate flanking squad that can rip retreating squads to bit like no other unit can. If you can get them between the enemy squad and their retreat point and activate their Concentrated Fire ability, they even have a good chance of killing full health squads on retreat. Other than that, the only decent thing about the doctrine are the Pathfinders. You can get some nice kills with them if you use them to focus-fire low health squads. The HMG and AT gun call ins are however too expensive (they should cost munitions like the Brit version) and the P47 can't hit anything. I don't see how you love Paratroopers with thompsons when Rangers with thompson are similar or better and packed into a good overall doctrine (heavy cavalry) whereas paratroopers are not. If I could choose between rangers and paratroopers inside the heavy cav commander, I would pick paratroopers though. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: 1vs1 Brits BIG PROBLEM8 Apr 2016, 00:02 AM Assault grens aren't even that great.. not sure how you manage a good winrate against USF, because in my experience rifles -> assault grens by far, especially when it comes to scaling into the mid-lategame. But if it doesn't work against brits, why don't you adapt your playstyle ? you don't need to go 24/7 agrens. Ostheer is like one of the most versatile factions, when it comes to variety in units and playstyle. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Emplacements currently7 Apr 2016, 23:50 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Apr 2016, 23:40 PMIntelligence209 People complain and make a thread about it nearly every day. Most people with common sense agree with you Expect two to disagree with you, one is katitof, other is aaa. They are a cancerous addition to the game, that does nothing but leave a frustrated feeling to one player with no reward feeling even if the player is successful in destroying an emplacements or winning against sim city Emplacements are fine and counterable. Leig/mortars/AT/Tanks/puma etcetc.. i don't see the problem. Also emplacements are expensive as hell, 300mp for bofors + you need tech/fuel + you can't make a tank against light armor the entire early-mid game...... exploit this and you win. Puma outranges bofors I believe. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Why is OKW Panzer IV so bad?16 Mar 2016, 07:04 AM I'd have to agree at some point though, the OKW p4 is actually pretty bad and I don't like it either. I am never lucky with this tank, which is the reason I skip it in nearly all my games as OKW. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Are Rangers worth it?9 Mar 2016, 03:00 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2016, 02:41 AMWhat Doth Life?! Riflemen have a target size of .97 while Ranger have .8 and they also regenerate health outside of combat at veterancy two. Other than that I think they're a total bullshit unit. All they do is throw a standard grenade and get Thompsons... Wow Relic, you really went deep in the think tank coming up with this P2W commander They are totally generic and uninspired and their unit description labels them as "marksmanship experts" while they spawn with M1 Carbines and can get Thompsons. I would say Paratroopers are strictly better, but they have a target size of one which can be rough. The thing is, rangers are inside a good overall commander (pershing, bunkers, mines, rangers) and the para's are in an overall bad commander.. I would've used para's if there were other options beside Airborne. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is USF in a bad spot or do I suck7 Mar 2016, 16:31 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Mar 2016, 03:49 AMClick Since vet is no longer in the game, vetted (which means nothing) rifle with upgrades are owning every other infantry unit. Indeed. I have the feeling OKW suffers the most from this vet removal, since they can stack up to 5 really easy. Also obers are kinda dissapointing without vet bufs. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: UKF - Need feedback5 Mar 2016, 01:35 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2016, 17:22 PMCaptain QQ This will be a rolling commentary. Thats my 2 cents. I hope it helps. Yes thank you, I indeed picked the wrong commander and quickly realized that.. normally I just never go for Bofors and usually always pick AEC but I really wanted to try bofors out. and yes, the vanguard air ability & a crocodile could've helped me a ton... I really missed those. But can you explain me why "Counter Battery" Didn't work on my mortar pit? when he had leigs I constantly activated it with no result, nothing happend while the leig kept attacking it.. so eventually I turned it off as it didn't do anything. Did the leig outrange or what did I do wrong? And thanks a lot for taking time to review my game In: UKF Strategies
Thread: Good gaming mouse for RTS like coh2 and mabe also MOBA4 Mar 2016, 16:36 PM Gaming mouse are usually around 50-60euro. I have Zowie Fk 2, coming from Zowie Fk 1 and I wouldn't want another mouse brand, simply love them (but that's preference) I use fingertip grip. If I had palmgrip, I probably would've went for Logitech, as I like that brand more than razer. Top tier gaming mice brands are: Zowie, Logitech and Razer. What kind of grip are you using as that kind of helps in recommending a good mouse. Mice you could be looking at: These are one of the best currently, they have the latest optical sensors and a good feeling/build. (avoid lasor sensor by all means, steelseries uses it in almost all of theirs). Razer deathadder (Palm-grip) Zowie FK 1 (Palmgrip) Zowie FK 2 (Fingertip and Clawgrip) [This one is a little smaller than the FK 1] Logitech G400/G400s or newer G versions (Palm Grip) I can probably recommend more and Zowie also has other series than the FK (which I believe for bigger hands), but i'd take a look at Zowie if you have fingertip or clawgrip and Logitech G series if you have palm grip. What to look for in gaming mice: It kind of depends on what kind of grip you use and how big your hands are, there is nothing worse than having a too small or too big mouse. Also you have to be looking at the sensor, Optical sensor -> Laser sensor. Laser sensor have built in (hardware) acceleration that you can't turn off by software, which you really don't want, in none of your games. Avago is the most used optical sensor brand and you should be looking at Avago sensors. The mouse I recommended above also include them. If you go for a crappy mouse, you'll probably lack build quality or a good sensor. so i'd personally go for 20euro more and go for one that'll last you some years. Ofcourse even a 1dollar mouse will be able to work as a mouse, but it won't be as accurate which is required for high level of play, especially in games like Osu, CS:GO where aim is extremely important.

Thread: Mobile Defence commander versatile tactics4 Mar 2016, 15:55 PM Why Anvil if I may ask? Hammer is currently way better imho. Also the title is kind of misleading since "Mobile defense commander" is for the Ostheer and not UKF. Apart from that, this kind of sums up a way to play brits. Thanks for the build order.
