I've got a friend I like to play this game with, but he can't/won't do anything but basically turtle. I have no problems being aggressive so I'll do whatever is needed.

Do you have any thoughts on 2v2 factions or commander combos that would best suit his style of play or a strategy to synergize an aggressive offensive player and defensive player?

I have rarely ever used the major retreat point in my experience or the OKW forward retreat because most of the time they turn into deathtraps which is quite sad when I can benefit from the screwed up pathing to my HQ in which any vehicles chasing my men would do three point turns before heading to destination which saves my men from getting more massacred. One thing about your USF Flak Truck usage is that it is suicidal. If you meet a decent player and you do that I can guarantee you that it will run over a mine for overextending and then proceeding to get donut killed by infantry. Donut killed as in the infantry run circles around your thing and throw nades until it dies. The ambulance does need a buff that is what I agree on though. The OKW medic HQ is vulnerable early game. OKW players usually overextend with them but its not best to rush all your men in first if you see it. You have about a minute to kill it with the infantry you have before it set ups so take 30 seconds to seek the best way to attack it. Attack it from cover or go in if and focus fire one of the units protecting the truck then fire on the truck whilst the OKW player is panicking whether that he will lose the unit that he orders to retreat or not. The walking stuka by-far is the easiest artillery unit to avoid. It shoots in a straight line so you don't have to worry about random RNG Scatter in which one of the rockets hits one of your squads and kills them off like a katyusha. The Stuka also makes one of the loudest firing noises in the game so you should also be able to predict and avoid it quickly. You can easily predict where the barrage will land just looking at where most of your units are and move them to the side so the stuka will miss.

thanks for all the feedback, i have had some irl problems recently and have been having trouble concentrating. the game really is about adaption and my head simply hasn't been there to make good decisions, i find myself being stumped by my opponents strategy and just sitting there slowly losing to vps.

I completely agree, when i was at 800 i was playing at a level where the game goes beyond just micro and winning engagements, you need to consider the overall picture and make sure you are one step ahead of the enemy with counters because if your micro and game knowledge is both up to scratch then the guy with the better composition wins.

I have decided to still take a break though but i will make sure to take your advice and change my play when i decide to give it a go again.


p.s seriously though you guys give amazing feedback, straight to the point and really specific. Reply's like these are what keeps the community going, coh2 is a complex game with a steep learning curve and i don't think i would of managed to get to this far without the help from these forums.
