Thread: When to tech grenades?27 Jan 2016, 06:25 AM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2016, 13:28 PMZvonzi I'm a scrub and noob (playing only 4v4), but I've started to tech grenades really early in game, after my 2nd or 3rd riflemans. Grenades help a lot when dealing with MGs/garrisoned units. When playing on an Arranged Team and on certain maps, it can be suitable for 2 Americans to both go Cpt/Stuart, but one player get nades before. It does delay, but on certain maps it's necessary to be able to fire smoke grenades into houses overlooking fuel/vp/cutoff points. Port of Hamburg is an example. Kharkov is an example. Lienne Forest is an example. If for some reason you've lost a building early game, can't force enemy infantry out (the ones holding it for the MG), then nades as your first fuel purchase are necessary. In: US Forces Strategies

Thread: T34-76 in Tier 426 Jan 2016, 21:26 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jan 2016, 21:22 PMZombiFrancis For the Ostheer it could be the same, or as simple as having (for example) the P4 in T3, but only available after teching the final battle phase. what. Why. NO. First, don't fix what isn't broken. Second, this could be implemented if there was a Panzer 3 in the game and it was placed in T2 with side tech. T34/76 does NOT supercede the SU76. SU76 is a mobile ZiS-3 gun. It is in no way shape or form to be used in the same manner as T34/76. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: GG 3v3 La Gleize26 Jan 2016, 06:26 AM Pretty good 3v3 on La Gleize. Probably worth a cast if anyone's feeling up to it. Some funny T34 crushes towards the end. In: Replays
Thread: What to do against T-70 guys?25 Jan 2016, 07:46 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Jan 2016, 02:50 AMTheObersoldatenThatC Pumas and shrecks w camo all the way How do you get camo for you infantry and puma in the same commander? Sounds like fun. Anyway, Ostheer seems to struggle against light vehicle rushes. Double paks seem to be good, but its dangerous keeping two pak guns right next to each other, especially if there's indirect fire on the field. Double paks really can surprise an opponent if they've only seen one before. In: Ostheer Strategies

It should be called COH2 Balance 4v4 section, we would all know people there are 100% L2P cases and they would have a den they could always run to to cry and roll in their own bile! fucking savage Katitof...

Thread: Panzer III22 Jan 2016, 19:03 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Jan 2016, 13:49 PMButcher Exactly the other way around. I did not mean Ostheer would turn unrealistic with the Panzer III. I meant it is not unrealistic if they don´t have it. They can have it but it´s not a must have. Gbpirate voiced the opinion Ostheer would be unrealistic without it. Still: I would also like to see it ingame. However I would like to see it as a substitute for the Panzer IV. Cheaper and a bit weaker. Like in the original Coh ToV, where you could switch between the bike and the Kübelwagen, Marder III and Geschützwagen, Kangaroo and Cromwell. I was speaking more in the context of the campaign, not necessarily just the multiplayer wehrmacht faction. Relic should've just had a early/mid war and late war factions to start. Could've launched with four similar factions, giving them room to do things like Afrika Corps, Italian faction, British N. Africa/British Late war faction. of course, that's all complicated and such. I also really like Luvnest's idea, having Wehrmacht be a super aggressive, light/medium armor faction like it was in '41/ summer '42. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Axis panzershrek spam blobs- i'm losing it22 Jan 2016, 06:34 AM I like playing against blobbers. It's fun. If you're playing as soviets, just get maxims. Maxims, maxims, more fucking maxims. Three is a good place to start. With your buddies, you can add on to that. A vickers behind a few maxims is good; so are a couple of .50 cals. As soviets you can use your maxims as your main infantry, holding the line, with cons/shocks (penals?) responding to mobile threats/keeping units off of your flank. With soviets, supermines are a lot of fun. Mine + demo (the demo slightly towards the oncoming enemy). This can be used on points, on roads, or anywhere you believe the nazi blob of death will come. Even though it's 120 munitions, what else are you going to spend muni on in the early/mid game? This supermine of doom will one shot a P4 and below. It will fuck up a blob. It will cripple panthers/heavy armor; usually they'll get heavy engine damage. According to Cruzzi's "the more you know" thread, demos that are detonated without the player clicking do something like 700 damage - much more than the 200 or so by manually clicking it. As brits you just gotta get a vickers or two, but that should be standard anyway. Be smart. Don't lose units to the blob. Watch ppl play, get some good friends to play 4v4 with, play 1v1 to touch up your micro, be familiar with all factions, etc. In: COH2 Balance
