Thread: BAR blob again21 Apr 2016, 14:22 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Apr 2016, 13:28 PMFul4n0 really nice to see others asking for help instead of whinning about this OP, that UP.... Congratzs man!!! Hope others can help you, you deserve it with such a great behaviour....I´m a noob so surely, you know this game better than me, so ....but pretty sure others in this community will check your replay and will offer you some hints... Again, thanks for making threads like this one....really missed times of gamereplays where there were 100 thread like this one per each balance thread.... That´s the way to go imho. Thanks mate! I really appreciate your feedback. I´m always annoyed when I look at the balance section of the forumm because there are so many threads of rage because of lost games. As salty and sharp the discussions in the balance corner are, as friendly are the people here in the state office. There were so many great answers, very detailed too that I was overwhelmed at first. Really positive. I mean the game is as it is (and sometimes quite frustrating)and as long as I can find casts and replays of this game where others are winning with the faction I constantly loose I have no proof that something is OP/UP. So obvious anwere: I´m the problem and if one thing is clearly UP in this game it´s me. So I seek to improve with the help of all of you guys here in this great community. And so far it seems to work! In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: BAR blob again21 Apr 2016, 12:44 PM Hey guys! Again a thread from me asking for help. In my last thread for OKW I got some pretty helpful answers and I hope this will be the same this time. I´m struggeling so hard against these blobs it´s beginning to kill the game for me. There is so much frustration involved when you just can´t find a way to deal with it. Anyways I uploaded a replay this time so everyone can judge better. I´m shure I did plenty wrong but I just can´t figure out what it was. I really appriciate any help guys! Thanks in advance for taking the time to watch the replay! https://www.coh2.org/replay/51980/rifle-blob-vs-ostheer Edit: Some additional info to the replay: My Username ingame is Mayhem666 In: Ostheer Strategies

Thread: How to deal with BAR Blob20 Apr 2016, 17:25 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2016, 16:10 PMDon'tKnow Wanna upload a replay ? Exactly,with okw u can rely on your kubel to cap ur side while you are moving towards his ammo/cut off. Try to only decap,that saves time. The problem is,if he has your side and you try to force him off,he will already have a strong position with sandbags or mines.Cap other points that arent as heavily protected,then wait(get yourself some green cover) for him to come. Dont randomly cap,cap smart,dont fully cap a point when you cant even get resources from it.If its near your base your should. Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2016, 16:16 PMCartoonVillain I'm not a great player, so this may be totally off the mark, but it sounds like your Schewerer HQ was too late, possibly the Luchs too. Did you go straight for Mech HQ or Medical first? You need to fight tooth and nail for at least one of the fuel points, spam mines on it, MGs, do whatever to keep hold of it, otherwise you will have no late game with OKW. The Luftwaffe doctrine is good, as others have pointed out. Try to spot his staging area (where he parks his ambulance), spawn a FJ squad next to it when he's not paying attention and destroy it if you can. That will hurt him a lot. Also, never stop (de)capping if you can. Once you force a retreat, try to (de)cap as much as you can before he comes back. Have a kubel ready and harass any territory you can when his troops are elsewhere. This will tax both his resources and his micro. Thank you both a lot! It's getting a lot more clearer to me where I screwed up. I tried to fight for one fuel point desperately while he just took it a few minutes after. So he was basically dictating the pacing of the game while I would have needed to force him to fight where I want him. Did I understand that correctly? Yeah you're absolutely right CartoonVillan. I went Mech pretty late and my Panzer HQ was delayed a lot by Luchs (which I lost due to idiocy of mine ^^) and then Stuka zu Fuß (out of desperation). Next time I'll save the replay. I really appreciate your help here guys. I love the game but I can't seem to get better. Currently I'm ranked 6 with OKW and 5 with Ostheer and I just can't get past that. Still in placement with Us forces due to lack of time. In: OKW Strategies
Thread: How to deal with BAR Blob20 Apr 2016, 15:58 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2016, 15:47 PMDon'tKnow You just have to cut his resources.Try winning early fights to gain vet and use elite-inf in green cover to weaken him.I would also go for a luchs or P4. However the most important thing is to keep your units alife ! Take care of your retreat path and flanks.Last but not least wait for the late game to crush him with a KT. In fact he cut my resources! So going for Cutoffs instead of trying to hold ground? I did relatively good in unit preservation but it didn't help me much. And due to the fact I constantly struggled to hold territory and control my fuel I had my Schwerer Panzer HQ up when his Pershing hit the field. So I guess I did something horribly wrong? Any tips with build order or how to cut his resources? Harassing all over the place maybe? In: OKW Strategies
Thread: How to deal with BAR Blob20 Apr 2016, 14:49 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2016, 14:44 PMmycalliope well if we are talking 1v1.... go mg34 if you can and position it properly just keep scouting for mg with volks and kubel.. builkd sangbags with volks and try to kubel push those rifles early game midgame flakhalftrack or luchs if you know he isn't going stuart....or myabe ostwind from scavenge if not then try to go for p4 then and delay him panzerfussies with g43 are good option in this case just micro well in general ,mines, barb wire try to funnel them and strumpioneers mid range should be able to deal with rifles. if blobs get ultra huge then goliath and sturmtiger like i said So no way of dealing with that without Luftwaffe Doctrine? I alsways feel uncomfortable going Flak Halftrack over Luchs. The suppression is great but it's hard to keep that thing alive against Capt.! At least for my skill level. Anyway thanks for your tips! I really appreciate them. COH 2 can be a really frustrating piece of shi... sometimes. I feel like getting into situations where I can't find a way out every second or third game. In: OKW Strategies

Thread: How to deal with BAR Blob20 Apr 2016, 13:49 PM Hey guys! Another novice thread and I'm quite shure I'm just missing something but I can't find a solution how to deal with those blobs of Rifles supportet by Rangers. They wiped the floor with my Volks and Sturms and my idea of getting a Stuka zu Fuß was pretty much an outright failure. Then the Pershing rolled out and I gave up. No matter how I positioned my troops he just came running at me, slaughtering my Infantry. I pulled out my troops early enough that I only lost 2 squads over the game but I lacked field presence, couldn't hold my fuel and the victory points weren't looking exactly good either. Went for Luchs a bit late but not too late. Lost it to Capt. and Mine. After that I went Stuka. So, any ideas for me? Was pretty active in the mine department but that wasn't too successful. No wipes as far as I could tell. I got a problem with Blobs in general. I always find it kind of hard to deal with those. Sappers Blob, Conscripts Blob, Volks Blob... you name it. Thanks guys! Any advice is more the welcome! In: OKW Strategies
Thread: Ostheer and Soviets obsolete?19 Apr 2016, 09:49 AM I really like that difference but I started when only the two vanilla factions were available back in Beta days. I enjoy the fact that I can choose between the "oldshool" teaching/building stuff of the old factions and the more "modern" WFA factions. It's somehow like a different game except the core mechanics. When the Brits were released I was a but jealous tbh. There so much stuff and abilities that gives them flavor. Granades from the tank hatches and stuff like upgrading to 5 man tommys. Somehow I'd really like to see something like this added to Ost and Sov. Brits feel like they got a bit more love in the design process. Not talking mechanics or balance here. Just the feeling of the faction. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Panzer II is built way too fast18 Apr 2016, 11:44 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2016, 11:29 AMCartoonVillain What is this side teching you speak of? For example: Buying Truck -> Building Med Truck -> spending amount of munitions -> Volks can buy flamnade upgrade for x amount of munitions. In: COH2 Balance
