hmm. Never knew f1-5 did that. I guess i'm just super use to the hotkeys i use on them.

I usually do the following.
1) main infantry unit i use
2) engineers
3)support
4-6) various vehicles and tanks
7-0) [starting at 0 and working down to 7] my buildings. 0 being hq, 9-7 being the next buildings in order.
However, I am finding more and more that managing my units from the top right status views is proving to be better for me and saving my units so therefore, I am trying to use hotkey groups less and less (another huge factor is i'll have a group selected, go to select the wounded unit, tell them to retreat and either i miss clicked on the unit or it didn't work right, and i'll accidentally send the whole group home and give up the front. It's stupid mistakes like that, and a few other minor details about hotkey groups that's leading me away from using it anymore.
Though that being said, I still keep my buildings hotkeyed. |
I like doing this build, but I usually do a few things slightly different.
1) I prefer building directly off the start. You'll float about 140 manpower or such, but once the building is built, cap with engie, and make the mg immediately. Once the mg spawns you'll usually have anough manpower for the second pretty much the moment the first enters the playing area.
2) I haven't actually found a commander I like the best with this strategy yet, though I feel it's useful to go one that has a decent amount of munitions dump. Without the early conscripts, I noticed a huge buildup in munitions from not throwing molotovs and at nades. It's nice to get uses for these.
My other advice is, although It's tempting to buff maxims with bulletins, I would advise against it. Played a 1v1 in which the guy read my strat from the bulletins, and countered me hard with a gren squad, a mortar or two and snipers. I had to switch it up quick, and ultimately took the win, but he pretty much made the mg's worthless.

Greetings all,
I've already met a few of you guys from hanging out in streams the past few weeks, but I figured I should get one of these here "Hello" and "Hi" posts up.
My Coh background comes from playing mostly among friends in Coh1, and now I'm trying to push to be a bit more competitive with Coh2.
So don't be shy, come on in and say hello! |
