After 6months of a playing break, I want to get back into the game! And I suck!

As someone who believes in coaching, I'm looking for a mentor. I want you to crash me, so I shall rise again stronger.

Anybody out there?

Please either PM me or comment

I like to do the very same thing in mentee training. For me it was more about getting to know the core units of each faction better. For the first game I would also encourage you to play without guards / shocks and try to make Soviets still work for you. With T1, Penals, Mines, something crazy.

Anywho I like this idea and you can count me in.

I'm not interested in 3v3, 4v4 matches as they tend to be flodded and full of spammed units, blobbing is too high rewarded. Sometimes I have the same feeling about 2v2s :/

At some point adding some commanders would be lovely. Especially soviets and Ostheer got underused doctrines (NKVD etc. -> Howitzers )

Great to see this thread and someone interested in non-meta

Hello Rush,

is your request still up to date?

First of all:

Your go to scout ressource as Wehrmacht is the 222 Scout Car, which gains it's sight advantage at Vet2 and once again at Vet3 I believe. You can further increase the sight by using the doctrinal scopes (eg Jaeger Armour or Mechanized)

It would be very helpful for our Strategists, if you'd upload a replay, so they can take a look at it and spot some areas, where you may have to work on.

Generally speaking: use indirect fire to dislocate both infantry and support weapons or use snipers to force him to move or pull back his units. Use those units to help your main infantry to win the engagements or take the high ground.

You can camo your units with certain doctrines, check out our Ostheer guides for that:

Emplacements are annoying to deal with, but once again: link a replay, so we can take a look at your games

That sounds like an immature idea

Just kidding. Sounds interesting, since so many people have been asking for a "non-pro-tournament". Obviously fun is great. I wonder how to get to the point where competitors are looking for the great fun rather than winning the tournament. Because that is what tournaments are about, right? If we want to have fun, why don't we just play automatch in that manner?


We've had the NMC (Non Meta Commanders cup). Gamingbro aka TheHooligan made it happen, so feel free to ask him about it!

I really enjoy non-meta. The problem I see with a lower-tier-tournament is this: what makes us excited about tournaments? We want to see the very best micro, macro, strategy, insane push, that finally decided the game and we may not have foreseen and executed this well. This is almost exclusively executed by top-tier players. Watching these games is both exciting and educational if you want to get better at CoH2.

Don't get me wrong, I like your idea! It'd be nice to see a platform for not-Top-100 players. I just think it's not as tempting to watch as a top tier tournament, even for beginners / participants themselves.
