18:35 That one conscript is like: "No man, I'm staying. I see what you do with conscript squads."

Note that you should remember that while pioneer mines are REALLY good they are a hard counter, the S-minefield does no damage to vehicles and the teller mines don't go off on infintary. Meanwhile the other factions mines trade damage for versitility.

thank you for your tips hans. I watched them all like I watch you playing on twitch almost everyday ! :D

You can put a flare on top of a demo charge instread of a mine. It will trigger the demo as well and is 20 mun cheaper than a mine. Also is only triggered by infantry. Another cool trick for 2v2 is that a Soviet demo charge in combination with the M6 mine from the M20 Utility Car will oneshot a Panther and heavily damage anything heavier, leaving it at 2 or 3 hits and completely Immobilized. If you put the demo slightly foward in a way that it will be under the tank when it hit the mine, it will do more damage, but if the enemy might come from differents directions is better to put the demo on top of the mine. A Soviet mine with a Soviet demo will only oneshot a Panzer 4, same with a USF mine and a USF demo because the USF demo deal less damage.

thanks for all these tips and tricks, I've been learning a lot ever since I started watching your videos another question though, would you make a video to explain the strengths and drawbacks of each force? I just got started with brits, but I don't really get what kind of strategy I should go with

Lol your barber did you dirty m8 😂

Hey, Hans. I am a casual CoH player and I find your tips very helpful. So thank you for that. Anyway, I would love to see a tips video about caches. I am never sure if I should build it or no. Maybe with some cooperation with choosing a commander or teammates

That answers my noob question: you cant get caught by your own mines unless you (or the enemy) fire at the ground where theyre placed.

I did not knew half mine field cost half less thogh it was i waste of mun to do a half thks

mines, the best thing werhm can have yet the hardest thing to get too.. because werhm in general are costly , in every aspect. Thanks for the vid mate, keep it up

Sometimes the info is quite a goulash.

About using smoke to place mines, probably worth mentioning that the soviet shock troops' smoke grenade can last juuuust long enough to cover your engineers in smoke while they place a demo charge.

32:25 SkippyFX be like: *Triggered*

thx hans is there a way with mine sweepers to disarm them?

On mod map pinedam I always spam demochargez in the dam it works quite well

You didn't mention the warning signs that are put with the field.

Use goliath with mortar smoke on blob, they feel secure then jihad

Is there a British campaign and desert campaign coming along, do you know?

Make a video about caches or economy if worth making a video about it.

@Helping Hans, are there still newbies in the game, because i am planning to buy this later on and I am still new to this game although i played COH many times before

haha you should watch Skippys goliath 5-6 squad goliath wipes i mean theyre definitely not on your elite level but he wipes and rage quits players with those, and demos guys cheeky as hell

Hans, did you know you can booby trap the same point multiple times? And if explosiv gets blown up by other explosives (mine demo combo) they do more damage than on their own

hey hans do have special hotkeys? if yes how did you do it :) greetings from germany nice work you doing

can commandos plant satchel from stealth

just asking i tried to compare the firefly and the sherman easy eight in ww2 there they were just common. but when i played coh2 i fought with an elefant tank the firefly did not deflect shots in the front armor but the easy eight deflect idk why

But soviets had detachable rifle mine sweepers..

Hello Hans do you want me to add you on steam so we can play coh2 i really good at the game and i think it will be fun

german mines dont work on inf any more !

It's really quite sad they nerfed the Goliath into nigh-unusability. I managed to get a good game recently with it against noobs in automatch, charging the Goliath forth with Sturmpioneers in front to distract the AI autotarget. The player wasn't smart enough to manually target the Goliath (or maybe not paying attention), so I was able to retreat my Sturms and destroy 2 Brit emplacements, 2 RE squads, 3 US Rifleman squads, an MG team in a building and a US armoured car (with the Goliath, over the course of an entire match, not inclusive of other units' kills). It's kind of retarded that a unique unit in the game, and the only strongpoint of that particular Commander (as well as the only 'demo charge' kind of thing available to Axis) can be mitigated at no cost with something so simple as right clicking. You can barely even charge the thing head-on against a lone Mortar team. 100 munitions for some fireworks. IRL, the Goliath was nearly impervious to small-arms fire, primarily it was vulnerable to fire from AT guns and explosives.
