I really enjoyed the TBS part of it all, but the real-time battles were a little to slow to my liking. It looks epic and all, but in the end I end up resolving 99% of all battles automatically. I still prefer starcraft/age of empires/c&c-like mechanics over TW. Besides, Relic has their own view on RTS, and I really like it. | ||

Panzergrens do amazing up close with their mp44s and the LMG42 upgrade on grenadiers is amazing vs conscripts. Great video for Ostheer play too. | ||

Can usually stay in T2 for a long time since T1 and T2 has good anti infantry and anti tank capabilities.

Maybe I just need to micro the scout cars better since they outrange antitank nades. Also that video is extremely cringe worthy. When your strategy involves things like don't make MGs because you have to know where to set them up for them to be effective ^_^ | ||

He still uses two of them in his build. The idea that you should use an inferior opening instead of learning how to place MGs in a strategy show is just utter idiocy. I would prefer a strategy video that gives you some tips on how to place MGs effectively than telling me how hard it is and that I should just cop out and blob infantry. Also I'm sick of MMing making me play level 1s. If anybody wants to 1v1 add CloudMephisto please. | ||

The Scout car is also not a great anti infantry unit btw in fact, it's much more useful at killing light vehicles such as M3s and Katusyha Rocket Trucks. | ||

There's no real solid counter to it other than expending alot of MP on Snipers/MGs/Mortars supported by Conscripts, and that delays your tech big time (which is one of the big advantages SU players have right now). | ||

My friend who I played CoH with got me a beta key, though, so I'll be installing when I get home and likely playing tomorrow. How is it so far, guys? Anywhere you recommend I can start reading-up on it before jumping in? This game is quite different from CoH1 in terms of pacing. Matches are overall faster, you lose shit faster (losing an entire infantry squad to one mortal shell is not at all uncommon) and have less margin for error. Balance is a bit flaky at the moment, early game slightly favors Soviets while the late game massively favors the Germans. The cold mechanic splits opinions, I think they should remove the freezing deaths, so blizzards would only slow down infantry and limit visibility. | ||
