I have played all factions by now, and I must say my favorite is the Ostheer, I like the faction and its design. The Americans and Soviets I find the best. OKW I find very hard to master. I have watched some casts and also the stream of Siberian. He is very kind and actually started commentating on his decissions and strategy during a livestream when I asked if he would like to do that.
I like this community so far.
Thank you all

I think for the first year and a half that I played CoH2, I ONLY played as Ostheer –– they've got a special place in my gamer heart, for sure. Now I play USF/USSR much more heavily, but one of my favorite experiences is when I roll out an occasional Ostheer game and fall in love with the Panzer 4 all over again; great unit, and when paired with Blitzkrieg and Smokescreen, great fun.
Enjoy yourself. |

Hey bud, same here –– Rooster Illusion on Steam. Go team! |

Do you guys see Armored Assault being used a lot? Or is it only especially effective versus certain kinds of play styles and other commanders? |

I do find it annoying towards the ends of games when I call in a big tank and have a few squads at less than full capacity to do so, but I think part of that is purely aesthetic — they should be FULL, damn it — and certainly part utilitarian, ie I wish I could use them more.
But I have to believe that at least in bigger team games (already unbalanced, I know), this would lead to people rolling out X number of Y special tanks. Granted, if you let your opponent save up for 4+ KTs, you deserve to be stomped, but still.
Definitely wouldn't mind being able to withdraw some less-than-crucial units, though. |
yeah. the german paks are very weak with the green cover removed
Maybe doesn't count but: for a few games now, I've used Jäger Armor + 3 pak penetration bulletins. Park a P4 with the scope upgrade a little bit ahead of your paks (I typically get two); the tank provides LoS and anti-infantry protection for the paks, and the AT guns melt Allies' tanks. Not sure how often they bounce on the IS2s, but if you get a side/rear shot, you're gravy.
I think the +pen bulletins stack. |

I've found myself skipping out on Major now, and going 1 dozer/2 Wolverines (fighting a lot of OKWs). Though I'm wondering, should there be enough fuel, if gunning for a second dozer is worth it? |
|
OKW question:
Is it still best move to go Mech truck first? Then what should be the determinant for your next truck? Typically I go 3 Volks, Mech truck, FlakHT, Flak truck...
Or am I all wrong? |

I echo the sentiments made about more time for light/medium vehicles to shine; whatever changes, be they mapping, caching, etc. that need to be made to make that happen are cool with me. Not the most eloquent statement, but I'd love to have a Luchs whipping around being relevant for awhile. Or a T70, aside from using it for LoS.
As much as it hurts me to say, I can also get on board with the 1 heavy quota per player at any one time. |

Much appreciated! Just used the commander (successfully!). |
|
Could someone provide an explanation on how this ability works. Even after reading the description, watching a few videos, and using it myself, all I know is that some bombs get dropped on some places and kill some things.
So, are there specific instances in which or ways to use it to optimize its effect? Or is there not much rhyme or reason, because bombs?
Or should this commander be avoided?
Thanks! |
