Thread: Kübelwagen shooting gallery9 Jul 2014, 17:02 PM DaDokisinX, thanks. I never thought of that; I don't recall how much fuel per minute I had, but early game, 70 fuel can be quite a bit. If I didn't go zooks, he could've tried to base pin me. Romeo, thanks for the cast! It'd be better if it was a game where I played half-decent... As I said before, this is my first time seeing a double kubel start. Also, I first realized the sturmpios are great at clearing buildings during this game and a few hours after, watching the OMGPOP v Jesulin matches on SNF. I think at 7:10 is when you give me my first positive comment (The rest are all constructive criticism, I know). In: Replays
Thread: Kübelwagen shooting gallery8 Jul 2014, 02:34 AM Okay... this is kind of a ridiculous opening and my first encounter with it in my 27 games as USA. A double Kubelwagen +sturm pio opening... There are no easy counters to this, other than micro and banking on my enemy making a mistake. I managed to scavenge enough munitions to pressure him off with bazookas early game, but he used that to his advantage and went Luftwaffe with Fallschirmjagers. Maybe getting a lieutenant and T2 instead of T3 would've been better, but i was expecting more vehicles. I used the .50 cal paradrop which helped, but has its own drawbacks in the extra MP cost. Anyway, this opening essentially forces the U.S. into surrendering or getting the bazooka tech, while limiting resource income as the kubelwagens contain the riflemen. I think kubels should change; perhaps getting the ability to suppress at Vet 1, or making it a toggle-able ability at Vet 1 or initially, locking down the vehicle similar to the Marder III in PE and having a short cool down, adding to the risk of being flanked. Idk, something... it's just honestly ridiculous right now. In: Replays
Thread: Good Game; VP 0-113 Jun 2014, 22:10 PM I lost this game on Langreskaya; it's 58 minutes long. VPs were 0-1 for Soviets. It makes me a little mad that my opponent said gg way before it was actually over, but it was a good game. MG micro mistakes cost me the game in the end, I think. I made a good come back from early game and was firing mortar rounds into the enemy base, but, unfortunately, I lost. I think it would make an exciting cast In: Replays
Thread: Pure Carnage11 Jun 2014, 19:22 PM 1v1 on Kholodny Ferma... VPs 85-0 for Ostheer. Brutal match... but hey, victory is what I get when my opponent relies on M4C Sherman spam. At one point I had four MGs... I think that was on accident. The combined arms style of both armies contributed to the gore and the mayhem around the center VP. In: Replays
Thread: Best CoH2.Org Topic MEME mania6 Jun 2014, 04:18 AM I've spent a couple hours reading the posts front to back. Had some good laughs... as was said earlier, "Remember page 12". Love page 12... In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Relic claims they solved console RTS...6 Jun 2014, 03:28 AM I bought RUSE for PS3... it was fun, but I feel the reason it never became super popular was just the style of game play. It's boring compared to CoH. I remember thinking RUSE's standard (strategy standard) AI was bad (they just spammed planes right away). I kinda liked it, it was an interesting concept. But with the visuals with CoH 2 - or even better ones on a next gen console... on a 50" tv... my God. It'd be amazing. Having a mouse and keyboard requirement may restrict sales slightly...but it would be the best way to go without changing much. It would make veteran CoH 2 players that also own consoles kick ass. The best part about it being on next gen would be cross-play... War Thunder already has that In: Other Games
Thread: Until the end...3 Jun 2014, 20:13 PM Great Game... shows how Tiger can come back and almost win a game! Although my opponent neglected to get more than one SU-85 at a time (instead going for a Katyusha and potential base pin). OH well. it was a good game; a nasty rifle nade against a vet 2 mortar near the end and desperate infantry battle in the center to finish off my VPs. In: Replays

Thread: Build Orders, general strateg(y/ies) in 1v11 Jun 2014, 16:21 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Jun 2014, 07:21 AMBurts go grenspam if you want to be a dick and win. ^A lot of Soviet players do that too... spam cons or maxims. I'm just playing them at their own game Thanks Moon Hoplite! I always forget about the Vet 1 ability for the 222. It's just so flimsy compared to the PE 222 I've ignored it... it's a bit like the Ost sniper, especially when there's a guards doctrine being used. In: Ostheer Strategies
