Well, this is just an opinion, and my opinion tends to be biased by mainstream media. Well take a look at sites such as cracked or 9gag or something, it will either tell serious deathly Hitler like future or jokes about the guy. But, I do have some US friends (whom I met at COH2) and actually met a couple of them in person abroad. They are normal family loving people, aside from their gaming habit of course. This s where it gets interesting, they actually leans toward supporting Trump, even though one of them is Spanish-Mexico descended. At first I thought they were joking, but seeing their facebook post, well .... they are supporting the guy.
So why is this happening eventhough all the stories that I heard about the guy is Hitlerish like day after day?
My opinion on why, arrives from personal story. My country never had a 2 presidential canddate before, usually 4-6 candidates fighting for the vote of no. 1 seat of the country and the suppporters divides but couldnt really make it into headlines or such. But last year, theres only 2 candidates, and the whole country literally divided into 2 and the media turned into chaos. I dont know wheather it is the easier access to social media that caused it or is it because the 2 candidates are the polar opposite of each other. Both sides supporters are really loud that I litarlly have to delete or block several facebook friends from both sides and actually ignore them in real life as well.
Safe to say that one candidate is like the liberal peoples choice and the other is militaristic peoples choice, I wouldnt really say one is left, one is right, but pretty much it.
the right people cant belive theres a left person which about to rule the country and vice versa. and since Donald is pretty much really leans toward right, even with his so called crazy ideas, it actually makes perfect sense for people who really believe in the right party ideas. theres also accounts for waht most of us, US or non US people saw is the left party media. Ive talked a bit with my US friends in support of Trump is that what they actually saw in the news is ..... right wing media.
And what media can do in your country ..... well in all countries actually, but I will only speak through expirience. during ebola outbreaks, most countries are on high alert, but they are not on 'insane' level alert. we usually jokes about how you US people freak outs about this and that. but at that time, I was visiting my US friend in Japan, and when I take a look into your local news channel for like 1 hour, it already makes me wants to wear hazmat suits, even though I was in Japan.
TL DR. Friggin media, which one do you watch and listen, determines who do you want to vote (or whartever it is you want to believe)
First of all this is not a cry for balance at all (and the balance is right on the corner) therefore please keep it on 'how to counter' not, '(insert unit) OP/UP' stuff.
Since Puddingbag manages to surprise Jesulin with the ultimate con spam, I ve met 3 differrent 1v1 Sov player playing with the doc. Only manage to win against one since the guy is clearly new to the game (doesnt retreat and stuff).
So my question is how to counter the Sov reserve conscript doctrine as OKW vs decent sov player.
What is your recommended build in each cp stage, especially early game, since the doctrine doesnt have any late game doc, but very powerful in early and mid game and also several tips on countering that.
6 CP relief infantry ability is not osttruppen,i'm talking about bringing them out as call-in right from the beginning .What good is relief infantry?largely useless.
Well this is just my opinion, and Im only doing 1v1 OKW and 2v2 Axis atm so this might not be relevant. But, since I consider 6 CP as mid game and might need some meat shield if my early game blows to pudding, I theoretically could use a 90 munitions for 3 free ostruppen meatshield squad with little bleeds. this is also assuming that the feat is perfectly executed. careful rush of your 2 pios squad and lose 2 men on each squad (or when you expect a huge clash) will summon the 1st squad, then its easier since ostruppen have 6 men squad and they are squisshy meaning the next 4 guys dead is imminent, and voila another ostruppen. since it only has like 60 sec active time, by the time you get the 2nd osttrup there usuually only 20 sec remains, if you dont want to gamble on the arrival time of next ost, u can use the global sprit abillity to rush ur ost to death (without wiping the whole squad ofc). this whole maneuver would roughly cost you 130 muni. a fair trade for 3 units of cheap and efficient mid game bolster to be honest.
assuming you have hold out with 1 fuel 1 muni and some connected points and not completely blown to stone age until mid game, this should help you maintain presence mid game with either 1 piv/stug and stall till tiger.
the bad thing about this ostrup method is if you misscalculated on how much your pios could take a beating leaving 1 or worst 2 squad of em dead, as its a rather risky maneuver, but to me is well worth the risk (as its do or die anyway) and its long arse 120 sec cooldown.
choosing early ostruppen with an expert usf player would also inevietebly warn the usf to just use AI. choosing this 'unorthodox' doctrine would not alert your usf foes about your doctrine until you either purchase the g43 (could be masked as other doct as in elite) or when u use global sprint (this is less likely to happen coz, no almost no one use em tbh)
Another thing is that if using harder to hit bulletins,pzgrens at VET 2 get (-29% + -20% RE) -more than double the meagre -23% RE of a gren squad at VET 3.So in terms of model survivability pzgrens can stand upto to vetted rifles much better.And pzgrens do almost same dmg at long raneg as lmg grens,also if u charge pzgrens like u can LMG grens u'll likely get shredded(especially rifle flamers/commandoes),and they can attack on the move -being assault troops which grens are bad at -grens are horrible at meeting engagement and in constricted terrain.
If a osttruppen commander had tiger -you wouldn't see grens again.
Well you do realise that there is 1 commander with Ostruppen, Tiger and CAS Loiter right?
Seriously, I havent met anyone palying with ass gren lately. even if the do pick the commander, they never used the ass gren. only the stug E as a fast light veh. counter
At first I heard t from the fusiliers squad chatter that the honor guards are fanatics etc, killers etc. Then I thought, that the units that fusiliers was talking about is the obers, because what else would they be referring to as that is the OKW most 'elite' unit in the game and their chatter is quite ... I say closest to be fanatical. But then I watch this video :
skip to 7:06 for the Obers unique chatter and they will say that "If our forces was like the Honor Guards, perhaps we won't be in this position". And then now I am confused. Are relic supposed to have another type of unit planned but didnt released or abandon them?
Sorry if this question seemed dumb or already been discussed and cleared before.
might be out of topic, but in the department of suppression, the kubel need to be replaced by mg34
OR
make the damn thing to be able to lock positions, as they sometimes just jump to the nearest squad, even if i actually micro it to attack squad that is far BUT needs to be pinned (i.e. shocks). for example like a hold fire button (H) which make the kubel lock an area like maxim mg (so they wont move around when theres infantry closing from the rear) and dont break their suppression stance
First of all, I know theres another OKW vs. UKF sniper thread right on the corner, but it was for 2v2, which means theres a chance for your team mates to go ost and counter snipe or if he's crazy enough, uses the scout car to hunt the sniper.
I played on Kholodny Ferma winter map today vs UKF who build at least 4 snipers (maximum 3, I did manage to kill 2 before he build naother 1) in that game. Game lasted around 35 minutes. ended when I field a KT (and p iv so, I can honestly say I did dominate the map)
first 15 minutes I dominate the map control, but slightly and steadily loses map control and get squad wiped by snipers. I used luftwaffe doctrine to ambush the snipers and some mg for map control (fun fact if you exit any building with the last member of mg team and the sniper killed you right on exit, the HMG wont drop on the ground).
to my avail, 3 coordinated fallsh ambush didnt work (1st one sniper survived with 1 single drip of health, note theres already 2 snipers on minute 12), 2nd due to deep snow (map on kholody ferma winter. house in the middle still have deep snow), 3rd one the same as 1st, 1 dead, another sniper get away.
to counter that I build 1 leig on minute 10 and another one at minute 25 (since I cant counter his snipers with anything else that I have). And those leig did their job. I admit it was OP, and the guy keep complaining that the thing is OP (which they do, I admit) but how else am I suppose to counter the snipers? kubels didnt work.
during minute 15 until 25 is a hell for me since he had fielded a Cromwell even though I practically control 2 fuel pts until mid game. fielding panzer 4 with volks support, i successfully killed the cromwell behind his 2 AT guns (snipers were else where, thankfully) this happens on around minute 20. then on min 30 he fielded churchill, which I stall with small dmg and faust with fallsch and keep pounding the churchill with leig so it wont get repaired. I the fielded KT on min 35, that thing shot just 2x, and he complains again then surrender.
I was lucky at that game since I uses 2 leig (since fuck it that guy fielded 4 snipers). I never fielded more than 1 leig in my 1v1 OKW, but that pushes me. question is, after the nerf what is another strategy againts 2-4 ukf snipers on 1v1? since theres no unit in okw that could reliably counter ukf sniper until mid game (even leig is actually, gamble on UKF player micro)
if possible can anyone provide some replays on how to counter UKF sniper as OKW in 1v1 to it?
from what I usually observed is that you may need to wait at least 3 seconds when you change factions or load out BEFORE slicking searching for automatch. this bug usually occur when you immediately click search (or the host clicked it) when you change load out or faction.
you might want to restart the game. hope that helps
wow good job on all the voices. I dont know they actually planned to have stgs upgrade on fusi. still wish that would actually happens though. btw whats next on the list of voices? the twf faction announcers might be a good idea
