You surely have an hardware issue. Lenovo

Well, I'm using lenovo laptops for 7 yrs and I bet, Lenovo is best option for my wallet

Once I even spilled cup of pepsi straight on my laptop's keyboard.
Guess what, it's been 5 yrs and it's still working

Plus metal cover.

No one will convince me that there is a better option when consider power and quality for about 700-1200$

Sure, you can get cheaper and more powerful, for example, Packard Bell but that plastic everywhere

okay i have a replay here, typical of most of the games. early dominance then eventually 10 infantry charges down the middle under smoke and wrecks havok on all support equipment. trying to recover from that doesnt do too much and the game is stalemated until allied armour arrives. i dont have much fuel all game. what can i do better? is my medic truck placement very bad? what about jagdpanther as a unit choice? these damm allied infantry wreck me because of automatic weopons. my infantry doesnt stand a chance.

So, as for the general things, you fight very often out of cover. Just in first few minutes SP vs Rifles and 2 Volks vs 2 Rifles.

You were out of cover (neutral) while they were behind cover. Only Kubel saved you from losing first engagements.

Second thing, you did not act as a team.
There was a moment when your teammate attacked AA with 2 222 but your Raketen was sitting far behind in cloak. You should help him with your raketen.

I belive, your Schwerer was built to far away.
They did not have anything to kill it in fact and if you placed it in front of fuel point, you'd gain very huge advantage and maybe push them back.

You were floating tons of MP, yet no Forward Retreat Point, why?

Jadgpanzer and Panther - pure AT vehicles, while you were fighting agasint 1 AA and 1 Centaur while rest part of the army was infantry + Tank Destroyers. Firefly or Jackson won't kill your inf.
Centaur can but you could keep it away with at last 2 Raketens (again, you were floating like hell so could easily get 2-3 of them, cloak -> shoot -> retreat to med truck.

They were constantly blobbing and then full retreat.
Stuka zu fuss could rip them apart in 1 good volley.
Same for 251/17 if you have good micro.

Panzer 4 was not best choice I belive.
There was already Jackson and AT Gun. In the end Pz4 killed almost nothing. When you are in such defensive situation, spending fuel for teching and Pz4 is really risky. It can pay off or it can be nail in the coffin. Sometimes it's better to hold and get a Tiger for example.

Why Lufftwafe support?

So in the end:
Lack of good comunication between you and your teammate.
Lack of good micro (fighting out of cover very often)
Schwerer put too deep.
No AI vehicle.
No FRP upgrade.
Lack of good mid-close range infantry.

Current state of emplacements is terrible.

Before brace nerf it was hard to kill, yes, but it was easy to counter.
You did not need to kill it, to counter it.

One ISG/Mortar shooting at it was perfect counter.

Your mortar did not get any kills (shooting at emplacement) but on the other hand you forced emplacement to be on brace mode all the time so no kill for them.
It was simple and very good solution in my opinion.

1 unit shuting down another it perfect way.

Currently it's terrible.
No one will spend 400MP for immobile mortars which die fairly quickly once brace is down.

Bofors? Again, 1 mortar is enough to put it in brace mode.

It's like taking 3 units from Brits (that 17 pounder pop cap) which leaves them without mortars, mid game unit to hold the ground and without famous 17p.

Current early-mid game is dying.

No flamers to clear buildings (WASP will help until 222), no SMGs, no assaut rifles, no mortars, no smoke, no nades, no mid game unit to hold the ground (222, flamenwerfer, Stug E; 251/17, Puma, Luchs; Stuart, AA truck; Quad, T70).

This hole should be filled by Bofors or Armored Car but both are useless in current state, which leads us to desperate rush for Centaur because there is no other way to hold in front of HMGs and LMGs.

What's more, it's not like you can afford 400MP mortar pit

I'm still amazed how 2 mortars covered by sandbags, which cannot retreat are losing to 2 mortars on the open field, without any special cover

They should be hard to deal when using tanks or mortars, fairly easy when using late game arty like railway and very easy to infantry as a reward for getting so close.

So I switched yesterday my laptop.

I was using Lenovo Y580 with i3 3110M, 8GB DDR3, GTX 660M, Win 7 and resolution 1440x900

CoH2 was running smoothly on low detalis.

Right now I have Lenovo Y50-70 with i7 4720HQ, 8GB DDR3, GTX 960M, Win 8.1 (10 on a way) and 1960x1080.


So overall my new hardware is was way better. When I order CoH2 to detect graphs settings for me it's mostly "high" BUT

When I run CoH2, SEGA logo movie is very, very laggy, not to mention that I after COH2 logo I have around 10secs black screen before it appears.

What's more, I did COH test on high setting and lowest, results were mostly the same. Min FPS 3, max 21.
Any idea?
I have newest drivers, I switched in nVidia setting to my GTX as a main and still nothing has changed.

Plus, every time I launch CoH2 I can notification that I could not connect to relic's servers - try again.

Huh??

Centaur needs a nerf. No doubt about that.

But on the other hand it must come alongside with mid-game buff becasue there is huge hole between early - mid game.

Sov can get T70, Quad or SU76.
Wehr has 222, Stug E, Puma
OKW has plenty of options as well. Puma, 251/17, Luchs.
USF? M20, AA, Stuart.

These are units which can go in front of HMG or garrisoned building and push them back easily.
They don't bleed while can inflict heavy bleed on the enemy.

UKF? Mighty armored car

Armored car is definetly not that type of unit. How many times it was seen during OCF?

That's why rushing Centaur is best idea, because it can keep you in game, which can be done also by less powerful units which can roll on the field earlier.

It's like old Sherman 10min rush (tho Centaur rush is much stronger). Sherman was rushed because there was no point of getting Stuart or even AA when you could rely on Lt + M20 into Sherman.

Right now UKF cannot rely on anything during mid game.

Even clearing buildings is insanely hard because of no early game SMGs/Assault Rifles, nades or flamer infantry. Unit similar to Stuart or T70 would solve many issues.
