Thread: Maxims in 1v110 Jan 2016, 04:14 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2016, 12:10 PMRagnar Hammersbane I really don't like MG spam...particularly against OKW. There are better ways. I just played two matches against higher-ranked Soviets with my OKW (They were 1750ish, I am 2000ish). First match, the guy built 7 MGs (La Gleize Breakout). That may have been because I capped three of them. Second match (Angoville) my opponent built at least three an MGed the houses on the right. So? Have the right. I'll take left, build LeIGs to make you cry, and then Command Panther and KT. I lost a Luchs, but then he lost two T70s and a AATruck in return. Then my heavy tanks wrecked his T34 spam (four or five T34s killed, no losses). So what do I fear when I play as OKW from the SU? Well, Shocks, for starters. They make mincemeat out of my guys. Also, a decent use of T70 or AA truck (don't attack shrek blob ON it's heal base). Finally, Katyushas and Tank Destroyers. Oh, and kill the Command Panther before the King Tiger, don't primary the KT. Yeah, there are a few things that one shouldn't do... Seven Maxims is spam and it's too much. Three is the most I usually build (as you can see in the replay). Below is a replay of me playing against a couple (or three?) Maxims. I was surprised, actually, at the quality of play on the Soviet's part. You can see the ranks in the replay thread. 1 VS 高大上 ~TAB~ GBPirate OKW v Soviet by: Gbpirate map: Arnhem Checkpoint 1 - One thing to consider is that build orders, player knowledge, and skill vary widely between the top twenty, fifty, one hundred, two hundred, etc. For example, in my replay against Choccy on Minsk, I went Maxims into SU76 then IS2. Most people in the top 200 don't build 7 T34s against a player of equal skill. OKW is quite strong now, and they have a lot of options to apply mid game pressure against the Soviets.

And Civ 5 but it's a little odd. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Steam Controller8 Jan 2016, 08:48 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Jan 2016, 08:31 AMPlaguer Does this thread belong in here? But anyways, does anyone own this or or ever used one? I'm fairly interested to know what people think about this and what good/bad things there are. I wanna know opinions from people here because half of the online reviews are biased or otherwise bullshit I'm supposed to buy one as soon as I can but I can't tell if it's a good or bad investment Well, there are some mappings for coh2 on steam. I haven't tried it, nor have I looked into any depth into any of the presets, but there are enough buttons to have grid keys mapped on the controller. It would take a while getting used to, I think. It's certainly possible to use it. For games like Rocket League, I like it. it works well. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: [1v1] I keep throwing games as Ostheer7 Jan 2016, 23:09 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jan 2016, 21:44 PMSwift A slight disclaimer, my ranks are not entirely representative of my skill due to the number of times I have been interrupted, disconnected, lagged for half the game etc, but we probably know that about leaderboards already. I play an absolutely abominable machine which frequently has micro freezes, huge input lag and frames that only hit 25 at the absolute tops. I'd like to think i'd be better if I had a good PC but that's probably not true I would appreciate any feedback apart from "OMFG just upgrade ur pc alredy dude". That can wait. Giving you moral support for spending money on a new pc, swiftsabre. Biggest thing on my end is being focused. There are times when I know I could be playing better but i'm not in the right headspace or people just got home and are making noise, or I have to answer the phone, etc. Try to minimize that. Don't have time for a full-fledged reply for specific strategy but focus is the biggest thing for me, I must say. In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: OKW Commanders7 Jan 2016, 23:04 PM Jump back to quoted post7 Jan 2016, 21:51 PMSoheil hi , if u saw maxim spam u dont need certain commander to deal with it ava make 3volks then medic try to make about 2 isg(leig)think to flank them with volks(grenade)over time u saw no more spam. choose proper doc for urself that u comfortable with it,just know all point and weakpoint about your doc,GL AVA, here's an example how one beats a maximspam (although...is it really spam? With 6 men a maxim is basically another infantry squad but with an HMG. Anyway, he fucked up by getting his first maxim killed. I cut off his fuel put schwerer on my cutoffs/fuel pt. (although if he had massed AT guns it would be easy for schwerer to be taken out as there was no shot blocker in front of it. Idk what level of play you're at, but posting replays so people can look at specific problems is good. You can make your own strategy thread with replay(s) attached, or you can make posts in the replay review section so they get some more attention! ex: I made my own maxim strat thread a few weeks ago: http://www.coh2.org/topic/46666/maxims-in-1v1 Perhaps looking at the how to on the other end can help you solve the issues you're having! Everything suggested previously is great advice and is coming from players better than myself. 1 VS 高大上 ~TAB~ GBPirate OKW v Soviet by: Gbpirate map: Arnhem Checkpoint 1 - In: OKW Strategies
Thread: OKW v Soviet7 Jan 2016, 22:58 PM Here's a meh game against maxim spam. pls excuse my first stg ober dying in front of maxim on right vp. Note: my OKW rank was 410 and his was 250 according to CELO. volks are pretty damn good. too good? In: Replays
Thread: USF vs. OKW December Patch7 Jan 2016, 21:15 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Dec 2015, 08:26 AMgarmeth06 You're exactly right. Volks buff pushed their early game over the edge, OKW are favored immensely in the early game vs good players. I've only managed to beat 1 player in the top 75, I beat a memeber of the HOI Clan 3 times in a row but he played like a bad not realizing that his early game was amazing and essentially allowing me to stall to the USF better mid-late game ( before KT comes). That 12 damage volks buff was disaster. I switched back to soviets though and can still win vs a few top 60 OKW becauses the clown car allows me to not outright lose the game and also at nades are infinitely better than at rifle grenades. edit: Here are 2 replays vs him, didn't save the third http://www.coh2.org/replay/46333/strong-okw http://www.coh2.org/replay/46334/strong-okw-2 On open maps without infinite buildings sometimes the early game is fine, but I'm actually pretty confident its literally impossible to win on semoskiy vs any decent okw playing decently. The problem with USF v OKW right now is that rifles need to get close to out dps the volks; with volks you just a move your blob and you're winning because you start doing good dps at 35m whereas BAR'd rifles have to close to mid/flame nade range. flame nade needs a timer. volks need less damage volks need price increase to justify their performance, or nerfed. This is why double M1919s are so good; you can then out dps volks at range, but this requires good unit preservation/decent muni income, both of which can be hard depending on a player's skill level. This double USF strat is good because of the best allied artillery/m1919s/m20 mines that immobilize. Perhaps the biggest weakness would be 1 or 2 stuka zu fuss that can wipe AT guns/MGs. Katyusha is not a substitute for calliope. It's shit and you can dodge the rockets rather easily. If you blob, that's your fault. a few things in OKW that need to be changed: No suppresion at vet 4 for Obers Kubel needs to have normal or reduced capping rate (why do you need fast capping power when you have the fucking mobility??????????!!!!!!!!!) Volks need nerf/p+rice increase Sturmpios need to cost more mp to reinforce and/or rifle/RE reinforce cost needs to be fixed; 25 for RE, 28 for rifle, 30 for sturmpio? that's stupid. Is volks reinforce cost still 25? That should be increased. Veterancy requirements for volks should be increased, or increased when a schreck is purchased. Why do volks have self-healing at vet 3? OKW is just too fucking strong right now. In: US Forces Strategies
