Profile of Flamee

I am taking a time out. Will wait to see what the new patch brings. Got close to 400 hours under my belt and playing since Beta. I am a casual player and play exclusively team games. I am/was ranked in the top 500 for both factions.

The MG fixes (both sides) took way too long and that caused all my friends to stop playing, so I always end up with randoms (who most of the time are annoying and rude). The last few weeks I played only as Russians as the German faction in team games scaling up to 4v4 is uber easy. I liked the challenge, but I am really tired of the same old strats. In team games there is no point to go for anything really other than SU85's due to the panther spam late game. I tried a lot of different strats and this seems to be the only solid solution.

Really hope that the t34-85 is in the new patch otherwise the game will start to gather some dust on my hard drive... Besides that I have 2 Warhammer 40k armies to paint which has a lot of dust on them.

Well first of all, you should now try to lure your friends back into the game (or after the next patch, advertise that they should give it another try! )

Also I have to disagree a bit with that bigger game strats. I have just recently got involved with bigger games (mostly I have played 2vs2 games) and there seems to be a lot of variety imo. That of course requires that your teammates will agree which role they play. So far I have tried only few strats, rushing for Tiger with GER and supporting roles. Today I was reading these different commanders and today I would like to try infantry / off map strategy in bigger game. Looking forward how that plays out.

Though I will agree that T34-85 needs some changes. At the moment it seems like the least important tank.

Wow this seems like an awesome program. Can't wait to try it tonight.

2v2 I haven't tried it. Could work, I guess. Probably tier 4 for the indirect fire and the SU-85 but then tier 3 for a halftrack would also help. Either one would require more cooperation than you just going T2-T3.

We tried it with my friend. It seemed to work alright. As mentioned below, it requires a bit time. I checked out of curiosity how I was able to get my IS2 out. My friend got his SU-85 at 18min marker and I got my IS2 at 22min. Well, he wasn't really rushing to that T4 but anyway. This strategy takes a bit more time but it's fun. Also there's a bit more micro because there are more of these special units.

One more thing which can delay deploying IS2 is getting the commander points (it's only 5 anyway) without any tanks. That may be a problem in some games but in ours, we faced a lot of infantry anyway.

About langreskaya I am quite confident they stated in a cast or whatnot that Langreskaya will not be featured in 2v2 automatch. Sure it shows in the list, but you wont get it in 2v2s.

Well this would make sense but may I ask why? It can't be because of the size? Or why then the new map is also for two players, that's really small and intense map.

First of all, I tried to find if there were already threads about this matter, but atleast I couldn't find. So if there were, then I can continue the discussion at the original thread.

I would like to know your opinions about map rotation in CoH2. It seems that it's somehow broken or then we have some really random luck with my friend depending on the day.

It seems that the map rotation doesn't work correctly. Actually there's an easy way to proof that I would post the numbers of times played per map. But right now I'm not in a place where I can do that so you have to just take my word.

Anyway I have noticed that the most common maps seems to be something around Moscow Outskirts, Rzhev or Pripyat (generally). And it seems that it really depends on the day. On average day if I / we with my friends play around 4 matches, sometimes we get same map 3 times and some other map only one time. And also the most highest maps on the map listing we rarely get. I've played a little more than 100 games and I have played 2-5 times Langreskaya e.g. It doesn't make any sense. I rarely choose veto's to maps and when I do, it might be snow maps if I'm playing with my 2nd computer which doesn't have that good performance. So I'm trying to avoid Blizzard maps.

Anyone else have noticed something like this? Could Relic maybe comment on this?
