Thread: 1v1 OKW vs Soviet late game4 Apr 2020, 19:57 PM lvl 8 as OKW in 1v1 crossroads winter version did well early but can't seal the deal struggle with late game (what to build, how to manage army, using tanks) In: Replays

Thread: Any fairly recent beginner's guides / build orders for UKF?18 Sep 2017, 10:42 AM I've been playing OKW a lot lately and it's the only faction I know, but people keep saying that I need to check out the other factions to be more well rounded, so I've decided to try to learn Brits next, particularly for 1v1. At the moment, I'm still trying to play it like it's OKW, which is clearly not the right thing to do, and I end up with lots of unspent resources from not knowing what to build next and lots of wasted manpower because I keep pretending that piats are panzerschrecks, infantry sections are volks, etc, when they're not.

Thread: CoH2 massive lag / connection problems17 Sep 2017, 13:33 PM I hope someone can help me! My Internet connection is fine, can download songs and stream videos HD no problem, and up until this morning CoH2 worked great online. Then suddenly I started it up and went from the menu to the automatch screen, took forever to load. When I get in game, there's constant lag, where the screen will freeze for ten seconds or longer, and then when it resumes, the game will "fast forward" and I'll see my guys running around like watching a replay on x2. And every so often the yellow connection problems text comes up. What's going on? I tried turning Windows Defender Firewall off but that didn't help. Anyone experience this before? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Opening moves of the game - which points to go for?7 Sep 2017, 11:08 AM Good evening, folks. I'm Windows, and recently I've been getting into CoH2, specifically 1v1 as OKW. I'm trying to learn from watching youtube VODs and reading posts on this website and reddit (and also playing of course), but there's still so much that I don't know. I'm starting to learn (mostly through the hard way of losing squads and losing games) the difference cover makes, when and how to engage garrisoned units, different ranges on units, etc. One thing I still have trouble with is really basic - the very first minute of the game, when I have a sturmpio squad and a volks on the way. I usually send the sturmpio to the closest fuel, first volks squad to the connecting point, and additional volks squads if there is more than 1 connecting point. But I've found that this is a bad idea when the fuel is 2 or 3 connecting points away from base, and also that it's not always useful to go for fuel first anyway. So what are your strategies in the early game? Do you rush the ammo? Do you rush the fuel? Do you fan out and capture points evenly? Do you rush to the enemy cutoff and try to delay them? Do you go for one or more VPs? (I almost always avoid capturing VPs if there are any other control points nearby, because by my logic, the extra munitions and fuel will always be worth more than the small amount of early game ticket bleed. Am I right or wrong?) I suppose it's map dependent and strategy dependent, but right now, as a new player, I was just hoping for a general rule of thumb to go by. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: Caen OKW vs USA3 Sep 2017, 08:54 AM Capping order was okay only if you want to get out a fast vehicle, if you are not then there is no reason to prioritize fuel over all else. I feel like I always have problems with fuel as OKW, so I always send my sturmpios to the fuel first and get the points in between with my volks. This way, I can get my first truck for battlegroup HQ right after my third volks and then I will have fuel for tanks later. Out maneuvering an opponents blob is a very good way to punish him for it. What do you mean by that? Like, capping points that are on the other side of the map? You should have gone for an MG first (because of the blobbing). Then when the USF player got out a M20 you got a second LEIG, not a raketten. That is simply being too loyal to a build order that might have worked before. Play against your opponent, not what you hope your opponent will do. Since I am a new player, I am trying to use the same build order as much as possible to get better at the basics, and also because I don't know enough how to be flexible. I use this build in 90% of my games: volks x 3 battlegroup HQ ISG MG healing upgrade on battlegroup second ISG raketen flak HQ covering fuel or VP panther The more I play, though, the more comfortable I get with changing little things in this build order. For example, I have come to realise how right you are: panthers are not good against infantry. So these days, depending on the situation, I may get a Pz4. Apologies if i was a little harsh, but you need to start thinking on your feet, hard to do in the midst of battle but that's what you needed most. Micro will come with time. Good luck and have fun! Thank you very much, I really appreciate the feedback! I hope that we can play some games sometime! But pushing a position is something your KT can do. The OKW Panther has a pretty specialized role: defending your KT from multiple tanks and killing light vehicles and tanks that might still be on the field. You might consider saving your investment for a KT instead of a Panther, especially against USF. Is king tiger common in 1v1? I feel like the only time I can ever afford one is when I am in a dominant position and don't need one. Otherwise, it is too expensive, and if I am struggling, I can never afford one because I have to keep reinforcing my squads. Also, medic truck isn't the best option versus USF or Soviets using Penals. It's great against UKF or conscript/t2 soviet play though. I am trying to be more flexible with my build order but I have never had much success going for the mech HQ instead of battlegroup as my first truck. Maybe because I don't know how to micro the Pz2? It does a lot of damage to infantry but I always get engine damage and then it dies. I think it's because I still don't know all the units that can do engine damage.... Thank you for the feedback!!

Thread: Caen OKW vs USA17 Aug 2017, 04:59 AM 1v1 hihihihihi everyone! I really like CoH2 and recently have been trying to play 1v1. I only play OKW. I have been having trouble against USA; I still have a lot to learn about which units counter which in this matchup, especially in terms of infantry. This replay is an example of how I tend to lose infantry battles in the early game. Here, he gets three rifle squads out and keeps them together. I make the mistake of retreating my Sturmpioneers past all three of them and they get wiped out. He goes on to take the map. I have a feeling that he started going easy on me since I felt like I was able to catch up in the midgame without actually doing anything. But then late game, every time I get a Panther and try to push, he takes out my tank and mauls all my Volks. At the end, with nothing left but injured Volks and 40 tickets, I surrender. If anyone has any tips, suggestions, or advice, please let me know! I have much to learn. 0 VS Windows 2 Fury Caen OKW vs USA by: Windows 2 map: Unknown 1 - (sorry forgot to tag it 1v1) In: Replay Reviews
