Your opponent outranks you
expeirence wise immensely. You have like 46 games as usf, he has almost 500 games as ostheer total. SO even though the ranks are *somewhat* even, he's simply more expierienced and as a result, is way better than you, which aggravates alot of the issues below but eh.
ill say this though; youll never improve in any sort of meaningful amount of time by only playing people your level.
rushing the center church
isnt all that important now that you have a mortar as USF.Youd be better off rushing this house cluster, securing them, and then securing the fuel instead of rushing the church on this map
this doesnt work because
theyres only 1 window on this building on this side. Out of the 7 guys you had in there onnly 1 GUY was firing at the assgrens. Which is why that engagement went so poorly, and why you lost your RE, etc.and of course Again, you rushed the wrong house which doesnt help this.
As I told you before in Ask the strategist you're supposed to 2v1 assault grens, or use a garrison. But only if the garrison has enough windows so that most or your entire squad can fire Im sorry I forgot to mention that mechanic, as I assumed you knew.
Theres alot of map guides around here to start you off on knowing the best buildings:
Kholdony Ferma Map guide
Angoville map guide
but you should Load up a custom game with all the 1v1 maps and check the sides of popular buildings for windows!
Or learn it over time.
Or use ALT+Mouse drag to observe the building for yourself during a game.(not recommended if youre already struggling with micro)
General rule: If you cant, engage under the right conditions then just retreat. Fast. Theres nothing wrong with a fast retreat against assault grenadiers. Just come back stronger.
2x ranger is almost never a good idea in 1v1
Rangers are great squads with great stats but are balanced by their cost.
400 mp x 2 is 800 manpower and 800 manpower is a FUCK TON. Never get more than 1 ranger or you will 'bleed out'
Doesnt matter if he has a bunch of assault grens. use cheaper units properly.(Riflemen) Not the most expensive specialized one. Coh2 can be illogical like that.
YOU MAKE ALOT OF MICRO MISTAKES
Too many to count And im not the one to roast you on basic micro mistakes if you're a newer player as that comes over TIME.
Theres times where youre too slow to retreat, too slow to move your captain to attack a vehiclke, etc. as above i wont go into this too much because naturally your opponent will tax your micro if he's better. And as such this will improve over time.
There was a sequence where
You lost your stuart, you bought an extra ranger squad instead of an Anti tank gun when you saw the STUG E, and as a result you get punished by stug-e spam.
If you had bought an AT gun or two instead of the rangers and kept your stuart alive you wouldve won in 15 minutes, flat
Instead your DOUBLE at gun is late and again, you're bleeding like crazy because 2 rangers.
Pershing tips
You used the AT guns properly with it at times but you didnt really use the armor piercing rounds ability on it which allows oyu to fire two shots in quick succession
You lost your pershing both times because you drove it in fron of a tiger and a pak40 with no anti tank gun OR JACKSON support.
No jackson? BECAUSE YOU DIDNT...
Tech UP.
When you already have a pershing, and you also have 300 fuel. Please tech up. If you dont you're just opening yourself up for a comeback. And it doesnt matter how good you are with the pershing, you are handicapping yourself by not getting a jackson and other units out to support it. You are forcing the pershing to take all the damage and do all the damage, which is extremely unrealistic expectation wise.
It was gg the moment you bought a 2nd pershing instead of teching.
Seriously. 37 minutes in and you hit 300 fuel at least 3 times. tech up.
And
Assgrens beat rangers! Bazookas and AT grenades are ineffective vs Stug E and the pershing is made of tin foil.
Stug e's get decimated by bazookas at nades and at guns, all of which are avaialbe to usf before the stug es arrive.
ill repeat what I said earlier:
If you had bought an AT gun or two instead of the rangers and kept your stuart alive you wouldve won in 15 minutes, flat
And yes the pershing gives the impression of being made of tinfoil when you drive right in front of a pak40 and a tiger by its lonesome without teching to support units
And your rangers actually won a lot of ridiculous engagements, at one point your rangers even beat a vet 3 ass gren and a vet 3 pregren at once before having to retreat...
I actually never saw where your rangers lost to assgrens.
So dont be all quick to blame the units. If ass grens beat your rangers.... its your fault
