Thread: 4vs4 strat, fun but risky.15 Mar 2016, 08:14 AM Commander: Lend lease Bo: T1 Eng Clown Clown Flamer Flamer Dshk Dshk So, ive tried this in 4v4 and its very agressive and risky but its been successful in my 3 games where i tried it. Start of by capping closest points with your engineers. Build 1 municache while waiting for fuel for your first clowncar. Get your enineers inside clowncars and push push push. Upgrade plamers asap. Move in behind the lines and deal with mortars and chase retreating squads. Move from side to side of the map, repair when needed. Use dshk to secure ground and plant mines everywhere sense your only municost is for your flamers you will have alot of spare muni for mines. You will have alot of spare fuel and mp but that is ok if you can keep up the good work with your engineers. Maby get an extra engineer to build t2 and get a couple of zis to help your dshk mid-late game. You should have won before late game. If not, you will be able to spam shermans because you havent spent much resourses. The big risk is if you make mistakes and loose one or both your clown/engiflamers you will have nothing and must start building your army from scrach and it will be a 4v3 game untill you catch up...

Thread: sniper heavy build11 Mar 2016, 07:11 AM Sucessfully played three matches with the following build: Lend lease. Con Con Sniper Con Sniper Dshk Clowncar Dshk Dshk/assault guards Sherman Sherman Sherman Win. The dshk's are the lifeline of the build because they keep light armor at bay. Capping with cons and the snipers bleed enemy manpower. All three games I managed to force the opponent to overextend while chasing my snipers and right into mines or at-nade cons, further bleeding enemy. Realy fun build. Worked both vs wer and okw.

Basically you're gonna get roughly the same mp bleed from two as you will from 3. In team games you could make more. Good point. Thanks! In: Red Army Strategies
Thread: sniper heavy build10 Mar 2016, 05:45 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Mar 2016, 05:24 AMCieZ It could work on some maps with Dshk m4c commander. T1, con, sniper con con. From here you have the hard task of timing your second sniper versus first Dshk versus healing versus at nades. You need them all but you have to get them in correspondence with what your opponent gets and when. Plant mines everywhere. Always babysit sniper with a con for at nades. You still might just lose to heavy 222 play and snipers kinda suck Vs OKW so don't do that. Get a t70 and/or su76. Don't tech t4 it's shit just make m4c and ZiS if you need late game AT. Never make 3 snipers it's worse than two. I know thos is far from a bulletproof strategy, going for more than one sniper might not be a good idea but im more intrested in trying out new ways to play I guess the point of going sniper heavy is to mp-bleed the enemy so he is crippled and also cant make good use of his fuel.

Thread: sniper heavy build10 Mar 2016, 05:17 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2016, 15:15 PMCaptain QQ When I go sniper as soviets, I almost always build a scout car and penal squad for rushing mgs in buildings. Hate going T0 just for one unit. Then I rush T3 as I am going to be lacking in AT. If you are going 3 snipers, you may want to go soviet reserve army or partisan tactics so you can back up your snipers with partisan tank hunters. I tried a game yesterday with 2 snipers, keeping them together to minimize micro needed. Went quite well untill he started blobbing late game. I suppose i should have backtech t2-maxim, or get the AA-halftruck. Partisan tank hunters did quite well filling up the missing zis-gun by keeping light-medium armor at bay. Jump back to quoted post9 Mar 2016, 22:17 PMBeefSurge Here's a build that I've used to limited success (Max Soviet 160ish, to 220): T1 Con Con Con Sniper T2 Maxim Maxim Guards Guards/T3 T70 Against Stug E: Su-76m T4 Pump out T34s, baby one su-85, Katy vs static play Thank you, i would like to se at least one more sniper in the build to call it "sniper heavy" though.

Thread: sniper heavy build9 Mar 2016, 07:58 AM Hi. Does anyone have any suggestions on a sniper heavy build for 1vs1? (Sniper heavy= 2-3 snipers) As ostheer its easy to just make an mg42 and use it to protect your snipers but as soviet, the maxim is in another tier... (Made this on my phone, hope its readable...)

Thread: Too much for one HMG (MG-42)5 Mar 2016, 10:20 AM Jump back to quoted post5 Mar 2016, 09:38 AMBananenheld im rank 130 1v1 with soviets, i use the barrage several times every game. huh what now? im rank 300 with ostheer, how often did i use ap rounds of mg42? maybe like 4 times in my 100 ostheer games, why? because noone is stupid enough to stay in its arc combined with the reload animation of 2 seconds. I've successfully used the barrage ability of zis together with a single mortar barrage to destroy okw flak hq quite quick. Dunno if i where lucky with the hits but it has worked three times for me. People really should learn to use the zis more. In: COH2 Balance
