Profile of Array

A couple if small suggestions -

Ostruppen. Are very weak and overpriced. About the only thing they are useful for is crewing stolen weapons so well done if you captured some maxims. Cover makes them better and the steppes doesn't have a great deal.

Pak guns are what you need to hold the armour on this map. You will need to pair them with one covering the other as one will be easily flanked. Even two will be flanked but you can probably kill their equivalent cost in tanks before this happens. Support the paks with grens to Faust and immobilise armour and yes pgs with shreks can deliver the coup de gras but they must go in last or the tanks will kill them too quickly. Use the paks to hold back the tide until you can get some armour yourself although really you will need callins which maybe too late. If you use p4's make sure your whole team doesn't do this and pair the p4's with paks in a defensive role.

Mines - the steppes is too big for mines apart from on the island a couple of the bottlenecks


Strategy. A strong approach with this map is two to the island and two to the middle fuel. Grab these and then try and reach for the northern ammo

I'm kinda green and haven't used an observer mode in any game. Can anyone clarify how observer rights are handled? I conceive that an observer would join the lobby or be invited by one player. Do they then see without fog of war or do the other team have to give permission to see this? This would seem to be a good way of handling things but probably wrong.

I know that streaming can allow cheating by opponents watching the stream but the streamer knows this possibility. Wouldn't an observer mode without fog of war in general games be an invitation to widespread cheating

Looking forward to enlightenment

You just have to ask yourself, what counters blobs, just get some Mgs

I find the mg's really struggle particularly on the built up maps. Rifles can cause them quite a lot of damage even when caught in the arc and if they use the vet ones they often have smoke and grenades that throw a long distance . Having said this I don't have any better suggestions and they do ok with open maps. I find my grens really suffer however and over time the manpower bleed does for me. I have managed some 2v2's ok with Okw by clinging together like frightened children for the first few minutes.

My noobish view is that rifle dps at medium range seems a little high for ostheer to handle in the early game but this is also a blob bing problem in the game design for us and okw

I had a different problem with replays

The replay ran all the way to the end but gave a sync error when it finished. When I quit it reminded me that I would lose the experience etc. that I would otherwise gained from the match. Not really a problem but 2 bugs that seem new with this patch

It will be fun. If you have got this far playing coh2 buy it . In the time you spent on this thread you could earn $20
