Thread: When to tech grenades?26 Jan 2016, 16:56 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2016, 13:28 PMZvonzi I'm a scrub and noob (playing only 4v4), but I've started to tech grenades really early in game, after my 2nd or 3rd riflemans. Grenades help a lot when dealing with MGs/garrisoned units. That will slow your lt/capt/stuart by a mile though. Also the munitions you spend on the grenades are soo costly.. which you could've used for weapons and mines. Buildings aren't that much of a problem to me, to rush nades. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: I like the paratrooper doctrine24 Jan 2016, 21:31 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2016, 20:39 PMkamk First, here are some guides about USF, including AB: http://www.coh2.org/guides/category/7/u-s-forces-guides Second: which mode? 1v1? 2v2+? IMHO, proper positioning and constant agression is half the battle. I.e. have your fancy M19 Paras a bit behind some Rear Echelons really helps, outcapping the enemy, baiting into Shermans with HE rounds, or having some Pak Howis... that sort of stuff. Anyways... basically depends on where exactly you struggle. A replay of yours might help. Would you say that Airborne is a top tier/viable commander for USF ? I personally never used it as I thought it wasn't as good as other options such as Heavy Cav or Tact supp. In: US Forces Strategies

Thread: US Upgrades17 Jan 2016, 19:12 PM When exactly do you tech to Grenades & Zooks/bars ? I hear with some commanders you don't tech to zooks/bars at all? When does this apply. Also, are Bars worth upgrading? In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Infantry Company playstyle17 Jan 2016, 15:59 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Jan 2016, 07:42 AMGbpirate Oh my oh my oh my. I've gotta agree with Long Johns here: Didn't need the Mortar HT By getting that, you sacrifice any offensive capability that the stuart would give you... Rifle nades do the same thing against MGs as the WP rounds do against the MG34, and they're more accurate. float less muni! More m1919s pls! As Long Johns says, it's all about momentum. not sure why you got a fifth rifle. mis-click? Floating that much fuel you would've been better off replacing the lost rifle with LT, then an MG. Okay, bed now... If you had more m1919s you would've shut your opponent down. He would've been done. With your squads in pairs, your four m1919s would've melted those volks w/ schrecks. Falls wouldn't have mattered to you. you would gun them down as they approach you, and you would out dps them at range. With nades, you just smoke his supporting MG34. I'm kind of in the same boat as the OP. In general I go 4Rifle+RE into Captain -> stuart. But when would you go for LT / Nades / Weapon Rax? Also when would you pick Caslli/Pershing or Cavalry on what do you decide that. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: How do people counter against early OKW armor with UKF?16 Jan 2016, 07:21 AM Jump back to quoted post15 Jan 2016, 23:16 PMVirtual Boar Don't bother with AEC. As brit, the best way to counter Luchs is by preventing it from appearing that soon to begin with. Win your infantry engagements and prevent him from a early tech. OKW -> Brit early though due to the kubel + stormtr. It's pretty hard to win infantry engagements vs decent OKW. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Vehicle Crew15 Jan 2016, 13:56 PM I've been wondering this for a while now.. the US has the ability to self repair vehicles. The stuart has a vehicle crew with vet 3 and the sherman/other tanks have vet 0. Is it viable to put in RE inside a tank and take the vehicle crew with you? or should you always put in the vehicle crew it originally belongs to? Does the crew matter how the tank performs?

Thread: OKW Jager12 Jan 2016, 19:11 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Jan 2016, 19:01 PMsiuking666 i dont have rifle company unfortunately. It takes too much time when you have to compete to cap and fight for cut off. (even more cancerous on maps like Ferma west spawn) Armor company works aswell. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: USF commanders12 Jan 2016, 18:57 PM I've been doing some research in commanders from all factions and USF seems to have some really potent commanders. On reddit this was the most recent USF commander discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/CompanyOfHeroes/comments/3v0ec9/best_commanders_for_usf/ And a lot of people mentioned Heavy Cav & Infantry as top tier commanders but they added: "This might change soon". Are these still the most used commanders in 1v1,2v2,3v3 & 4v4? I also hear that the Tactical support is pretty neat atm, but maybe someone can give me some insight on good commanders in certain situations/game modes. Ty In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Good alternatives to company of heroes 2?12 Jan 2016, 00:21 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jan 2016, 22:18 PMkanelbullen So how much gametime do you need then? Do professional and unprofessional reviewers take hundreds of hours of time on this game or do you know better? You need atleast 1000-2000 hours of 1v1's to understand timings/scoutings and reaction. And usually after those hours of playing, you only understand how to play 1 race from the 3 as they're completely different from each other. Starcraft 2 is not a forgiving game like COH2. Timing is crucial and every second counts. If you make a crucial building a few seconds to late, it might have decided whether you won or loss already. I play starcraft 2 since the beginning (wings of liberty) and am still an active player. Currently high masters, and even I don't know 'everything' In: Other Games
