Thread: The ethical considerations of playing COH213 Mar 2019, 13:24 PM What are your feelings on playing a game based on a world war were 70-85 million people died? Do you think it is wrong that you can play as Nazis? When you play as them do you respect them, enjoy them? Do you think WW2 era Germany has been glamorised in COH2? How do you feel about the wermacht's actions in real life, does that not put you off playing them? In: Lobby
Thread: Wermacht Machine Gun spam vs USF13 Mar 2019, 13:13 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Mar 2019, 12:31 PMblvckdream Road to Kharkov against MG spam? I feel your pain brother. In general though USF have plenty of ways to deal with MG42s. Pathfinders for spotting them early. Mortars and pak howis for smoke and regular barrage. Early LVs. Smoke grenades and flanks. I know they have a lot of counters and i use them, but thats a lot of early micro you have to use just for them setting up an mg, which only costs manpower. The fuel and muni cost of the grenade upgrade, the fuel cost of getting M20's or LV's, the cost of using nades and teching up is too much. By the time you have these upgrades they have already got a solid hold and are working on a forward push. In: Strategy Desk
Thread: USF New meta13 Mar 2019, 12:56 PM Mechanized is my thing these days. Double halftracks in team games can do serious damage with well timed incendiary bombs, they are good in 1 vs 1 but a good player will do everything in his power to take them out ASAP even sacrificing units or armour, the high explosive delayed bombs are great for barraging OKW trucks and bases in general, if you manage to hit a vehicle with them they do decent damage too. The cavalry riflemen are my fav infantry right now. They can singlehandedly take on MG's with their smoke grenade thompson rush. Particularly effective in a high resources match when you can field them straight away. They can be squishy which sucks so its best to use them in pairs or even threes. Their at satchel is a bit pricey at 45 muni but it hits pretty hard and always damages the engine, allowing your zooks to finish it off. The m3 halftrack is great for putting two cavalry squads in and harassing would be point cappers, it also reinforces units which is super handy. The jeep i'm stuggling to use well at the moment but i can see its potential. And as i have said in another thread the 76 shermans are IMO great and can be even better then Jacksons when used effectively. I dont tend to use combined arms much, but it defo suits the playstyle of the commander. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Lets talk about the 76 Shermans13 Mar 2019, 12:42 PM I like the 76 Shermans with the HVAP rounds they turn into panther/tiger assassins. I melted two King Tigers with two, 2 star vet 76 shermans the other day. The rotation speed of the tiger and king tigers turret is so slow you can run rings around them before they fire a shot. The Panther has a faster rotation speed so you need to be much more careful with them. Having said that, if you get flank a panther with even one HVAP 76 sherman you have a good chance of knocking it our. The normal at rounds are decent against light vehicles and medium tanks but i use them mainly to counter heavy german armour, the HVAP rounds hit harder then Easy 8's and by the time they get too vet 3 they have an insane ROF. They also do decent damage to buildings. Against infantry they are garbage but thats what the cavalry riflemen with thompsons are for. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Captain13 Mar 2019, 12:34 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Mar 2019, 19:11 PMLago USF Lieutenant tier is pretty strong right now: quick .50 cals, a newly viable M20 and AT support from the Stuart. It's like OKW Mechanized. Captain, then, is OKW Battlegroup. A good anti-tank gun (but not something you want as soon as a .50 cal), the Pack Howie and the very impressive USF AAHT. It's good stuff, but you're lacking .50 cals and you tend to end up with either manpower float or more infantry than I like to use. I'd like to try out more Captain builds, but I'm never sure how to make T2 dance in the same way I can get T1 to. What Captain builds do people like? If you are doing well enough you can use the AAHT from the captain defensively as an MG, area denial weapon, then rush the pinned soldiers with infantry, but thats only at one VP, you will have to improvise for the other two or build another AAHT which is simply unthinkable. I think mortar halftracks from mechanised and infantry companies synergize well with the AAHT allowing you to bomb the pinned infantry with incendiary bombs, but that take up a fair amount of fuel and munitions and both can be easily destroyed by shreks, fausts, at rifles, 222's, luchs and mines if you are not microing them well. Plus you will not get tanks as soon as the germans and by then you will be too paranoid to use any half track. I rarely use the captain anymore i have enough AT capability to last me until the major with my zooks, AT nades and riflemen cavalry AT satchels. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: Wermacht Machine Gun spam vs USF13 Mar 2019, 12:19 PM I know this is an old issue but its so annoying. Wermacht get MG's way too early and you can never see them until its too late and your pinned, then you have to retreat and lose valuable ground or risk losing manpower, plus the german potato mashers super wide field of view and rate of fire is just too much. Playing as USF against them can be such a pain, don't get me wrong i have beat them 1vs1 multiplayer about 18 times but it is such a chore to deal with MG spam. I use smoke and nades against them but it dosent always work especially if they have MG's in different directions. In 2vs2 its a joke, the Wermacht player will spam nothing but MG's and mortars while OKW spam Volks until they get a panther. Road to Kharkov is like the worst map for this. I use the mortar halftracks incendiary barage to deal with these team weapons but it comes at 2 CP and by that time they have consolidated their defensive positions, built bunkers and fortified the VP's from multiple angles. USF get the mortar team straight away but their garbage with terrible accuracy and all it takes is some volks spam to flank them. It takes so long to tech up to an MG with USF, it even costs fuel which is simply absurd. Every faction should have to tech up to get MG's including brits. In: Strategy Desk
