pak43 easily gets decrewed by the incendiary barrage
That is true,but you have your panther and shrek volks to cover you while you recrew it
I would rather play against Is2 then guard motor doctrine every time
Fortification doctrine,obers against shocks,pak 43+panther,evean luchs is possible whit this doctrine
If he is waiting for call ins.Whit your build order and your doctrine why you dont wait for your ultimate tank?
no problem:
-new resource system allows more comebacks
-the lategame isnt just about snipers and arty anymore
and i actually find a lategame which is dominated by tanks and heavy tanks much more logical and enjoyable than a lategame which is dominated by snipers
-the commander system actually provides a rather good diversity of how a game envolves. AND I KNOW: PEOPLE WILL NOW REPLY: HEY EVERYONE TAKES THE ALL SAME COMMANDERS AGAIN AND AGAIN! yes its true some are better than others. however the rate at which someone uses a less taken commander is actually rather high. and the many different commanders provide plenty of tactical options for creative and fun gameplay
-stuff like crushing knights cross and grens with m10 was imo nothing more than lame and abusive. this happens at a much lower rate in coh2.
-90% of CoH1 2v2 games consisted of learning maps and build orders by heart:
wehr player 1: defensive, vetgrenspam, medbunker, Flak, t4+stuka
wehr player 2: Terror, 3 snipers, support vet, pumas und nebelwerfer spam
US player 1: 4 rifles BARS m10spam Calliope
US player 2: 2 mgs, 2 snipers, m8, at gun spam, 2 howitzers
You will state: Hey there were variations of thi and it wasnt always the same. well for me it it felt like it. and in the end of coh1's lifecycle, when everyone played like this, i was just sick of trying to countersnipe, dodging nebelwerfer barrages, encountering a wall of 5 rep/medic bunkers and so on. the lategame was literally hammering arty or being hammered and then creeping with snipers. and i just couldnt stand that anymore
- CoH2 has a great variety of possible counters: to anything:
vs tanks for example: Stugs, jagdpanzer4, paks, shreks, jagdtiger, mines, anti tanks strafe etc.
and all of this stuff is actually being built.
DOnnieChan I agree whit you in most of the things,but resource system from COh1 was better for me,for competitive games Coh1 was far better and more skill based then COh2
COH games are very hard for noobs,thats why ppl after few matches stop to play game.
To learn you need to put some effort in game that is the reason why coh is not more popular.
Coh1 is best game ever made.Ami vs WHer matchup is RTS peak,while I think that COh1 was ruined whit Of factions.I move to coh2,game is much much better then before.Team games are better in COh2 then in COh1
I mean 3v3 and 4v4,there is not art fest plus british trucks.
Yeah i feel your pain, how many time I lose to players whit this doctrine and they were much worse then me.
That 120 mortar is such grrrrrrr,so what I do against that some say stuka if he dont have any tech first,but that mortar is uncounterable.Allways after perfect stuka barrage have one man left who want die and soon his tanks will roll in to finish my stuka,if i go fortification he will blow my pak whit mortar so that is no no.Kt is perfect counter but its risk because you will lose on Vps usually.
OKW Scavenge Doctrine Strategy is nice so kubel,3 volks medic truck(in base) 4 volk if he is spamming inf go inf support gun very good this patch if that mortar is in range attack him t3 tech again very defensive placment because of 120.Obers and build panther dont go luch because he will have his t34 85 soon after to counter him and better to have some vet on your panther before those t34 85 wolfs arrive.That panther tank is the key you need to preserve him and vet him up,becuse that mark targer is very dengerus,If he is still hevy on infanty go ostwind if not tech to Kt,allways have full health squads because of squad wipes try not to blobb too much,and allways when you have opportunity try to attack whit obers his mortar,u have Infiltration granades in inf combat to give u some advantage.
ps.sry for my english
