Hey,

I got some time to watch two of your replays (the first two), ill start with the one against "dutchdefense".

Hope this helped, any question you have ill try to answer.

It does!

However, Wehr isn't THAT hard to deal with. It's PE who just rolls me. Their Elf play (strike hard and fast) is really hard to handle. Makes ATguns useless. I just don't know what to do against them....Thinking of unticking Lowlands cause that map is an automatic loss vs PE....No idea what to do on that map....
Then again Angoville is also impossible to defeat PE on....


I tried four Rifles but it's so hard to control so many squads together with the engis :/ So much switching back'n'forth....
I normally use 1-3=Rifles, 4=vehicle, 5=sniper, 6=Mortar, 9=artillery. Thinking of quitting that since I lose track of units if I get more riflesquads (medic tent).


http://www.coh2.org/file/6178/close-vs-wehr.rec <--- Close game. He wasn't that good but I couldn't beat it.
It's always the same problem. I have to defend ATguns and I lose....

http://www.coh2.org/file/6179/impossible-pe.rec <--- By the time I get an M8, he got schrecks. By the time I got an Atgun, he got Panther Battlegroup(!)

I go for some VP far away, Mr.Armored Car comes and shoots me up. Sometimes the blob comes....Anywhere I don't have ATguns, two Panthers come along and say hello...
It's kinda gotten to the point where I'm thinking of trying brits instead. Got better AT....

I've watched Inverse's two videos about the matchup where you just go infantry and no vehicles and it seems that is what I have to do. Infantry + ATguns....

Thanks AVNY.

Aren't M18 Hellcats better than M10s ? I dont' remember if they cost the same but Hellcats are faster and better armored + can cloak =)


I will try to have two positions if I have 3 ATguns so all of'em aren't in the same position. Will get more territory that way.

MG, need to get that. Will do.


The thing he did in my latest replay, is the FHQ the southwestern house on Langres by the munipoint and I was ofcourse unable to move him from it....Charging with 5 Rifles, 2 flameengies, 2 ATguns (though not everything moved up at once which I noticed in the replay....) + an M8 was not enough....but I know strafe or MG would have solved it nicely.

He also had so many schrecks that vehicles were not good except M4 Shermans or Crocodiles.

Was also thinking of building a MG nest at the important fuelpoint so I don't have to run up there all the time to get it back.

Going the 3 engs, necessary means that you want to use your capping advantage. So getting a wsc without even using it, is bad. Wsc isn't even a real teching choice as sniper can be killed by anything.
Getting the 3 eng means that you want to get early viable tech, as early BAR or early M8 ; tech that your ennemy will have to counter by investing into some buildings and units : early M8 => T2 gren pak, early bars => vet inf, vet sup, t3... That's it.

Yeah vs Wehr it's pretty much a science but it's special Wehr and normal PE I got problems with.
MP44 Volks to stop my charging BAR Rifles and 2x sniper. M8 and Howitzer failed vs that but that must have been bad luck.

Panzer Elite. Everything is a problem. The blob forces me to do Inverse's YouTube videoguide of capping around the blob and get the main fuels and deny it for PE. Hard to do as the blob loves to stand in my retreatpath and murder as many rifles as they can
M8 fixes things slightly until ATHT or 2x Panzerschrecks come around.

Then the BIG problem, Panther battlegroup! Those behemoths destroy everything I can throw at them that's armored so I wonder if it's any use to go Tank Depot without Allied Warmachine when it's very likely those will show up.

If I put 3 ATguns to guard against them then the goddamn blob comes running and I have to engage it with everything I have. My Rifles, Rangers/Airborne, flameengies and whatever else normally win but at casualties. He may also have a Wirbelwind which makes it dangerous to cap outside ATgun range which makes me lose the map.

Got a replay of the problem which I just played. Made me rage

Hard to say. Depends. I´d say the Airborne Ranger are better because there weapons good a better penetration. You see both rarely because of there high mp cost in matters of reinforcment and upkeep.



Thats the point, Air laggs arty. Many people go air vs PE but mostly because of the strafe vs gren blobs.



Two. The one a was referring to and a longer game. Don´t good much time and writing in english is long and painful process for me. Normaly i prefer a audio commentary but i don´t know if this would work here.

High reinforcement costs I noticed but upkeep I don't "see".

I'd like to strafe their goddamn blobs so hard they'll SCREAM but 150muni will be hard to come by even with a medium OP due to minelaying, stickies and some other things. But I guess I have to make it a priority to have 150muni available every now and then.

Your help is appreciated
I was thinking of doing some casts but that hasn't happened yet.

In automatch I lose almost every game i play now. I only play US for now since I don't want anything to do with the brits Atleast there's no friggin brits in CoH 2....hmmmm maybe it's time to switch....


I watched all my replays again and selected four where I think I do well but still lose.

I see that I do some brave/stupid things like charging an Ostwind Flakpanzer with Rifles....which makes me bleed a bit too much....(like an open wound FFS!)


My main problem is that I don't know what to do sometimes. M8, Snipers, Sherman..?
Should I get all the buildings ? Like, is ATguns really so much better than Rangers and Airborne ?

Then there's doctrines....I tend to go Infantry so I get get mines for Rifles, Rangers and the Howitzer.
Offmap combatgroup is also good I've noticed.
It seems to be Inf and Air unless you have a commanding lead, then go Armor for Calliopies.

I went Airborne in the game against PE as I followed Inverse's guide but it still didn't work. Since the guy didn't know about VPs (strange) I should have gone Inf and gotten howitzers instead.
