Profile of Two

CoH2 reminds of me of CoH, a simplified, cheaper looking version of the original. Doctrines had 2 routes to go down, greater map variety and quality, the rank system and leaderboard gave you something to go for and it had a sense of community, the original GR was a great lobby, and even after it was made the default channel it was better then what we have now, I miss that guy that spammed 1-20 in the chat.

I think thats the main one for me, sure I can use steam and talk to friends, but what when they're offline? I want a chat lobby to troll in to make the time pass when waiting 10 mins to be put in a 1v1. Right now I sit there waiting and think, oh, i have that tv show to watch or could play a game of fifa, or work out or something.



I'll prob keep playing and hoping for a patch to make it better, but based on vCoH that will take a few years to get good balance (and then 2 days later they will release an expansion) and right now CoH2 doesnt have enough redeeming features to keep me that long. Hopefully EIR:R will get a mod running for it.

Why not just post it in the replay section?

Why has this got a thread?

Tiger is like a fat P4, maybe slightly worse at AI but def better AT then a P4. It's more a meatshield then anything right now, on the move hitting inf is near impossible, standing still its still guna fire a few shot's till it finally hit's, but unlike in coh1 when a single shot could obliterate an entire squad, that does not happen here.

Its one of those units that will stand there to take the focus of your opponents armour away from your inf to allow you to try and do some damage, so more a physcological weapon. But right now its not even good at that, because as Bud said, the SU85 will maul it. Or conscripts will sticky it (as soon as they start the throw animation you cannot get away from it, unlike in vcoh where if you backed up they had to get close again, its fucking lame). Or of course a T34 will ram it and then you can't move or fire (again another lame move you cannot counter unless you kill the tank before it connects)


Grenadiers are pretty shit, nothing like vCoH, where you could stay at range and kill things quite easily, scripts will have the ability to walk straight at you and make you retreat even if you start at max distance.

Panzergrenadiers on the other hand, are beasts. 360mp no muni cost for a 4 man stg44 squad that can get 2 shreks for 120 muni. You can also get them when still in early early game, when your opponent is still building scripts. Could also prob get shreks before they get a HT out (I usually get a flamer with my first 60 muni, so unsure on timescale for 120 muni, I reckon it would be close)


When the tiger gets buffed, or above soviet units/abilities get nerfed, you could actually blitz for reals with a tiger pgren combo.

3 pios -> t2 -> 1x pio flamer upgrade -> pgren -> HT -> your judgement

1st pio caps a strat point and the fuel, second pio caps a strat point nearby first pio. 3rd pio depends on the map, if its a large one go the other side of the map and cap, if a smaller map, stay on the half with other pios.

As soon as the fuel is capped or 5 seconds later you can tech to T2.

Usually you will run into a unit by now, group your pios to win or get in a building, just make sure they dont get your fuel, or atleast delay them. By the time T2 is done you will have fuel for the building so retreat one pio back (lone one if you split pios) and build it.

Build a pgren instantly, and send towards the side you got the fuel on, back up the pios and charge down anything, if they get in a building, just go cap their stuff.

As soon as the pgren is finished building you can usually insta build a HT, use that to push units out of cover, reinforce your troops and/or shove a pio in a go decap everything of theirs.

Good HT usage will win games tbh, your units are pinned? Go pick them up, flank the mg and ko them or run away to support other units. Your lone pios being attacked on the other side of the map, run the pios back and bring the HT with pgrens in and drop them on their units for insta rape.

After this use your judgement, if they continue with infantry then fire out another pgren or 2, if they go for their own armour get an upgun SC, do whatever you feel will work best.

And of course be a pro player during this, lay lots of wire, crush their cover with your HT, get a medic bunker at your HQ, get mines maybe, get a minesweeper if you must.



I find T1 to be pretty much useless, grens are shit and pretty pointless after 10 mins, everything else is usefull, but, pgrens will dominate early game. Nothing can take their firepower, if they're in cover rush with a flamer, they will prob shoot the flamer which means your pgrens are right next to them at full HP for insta rape.
