I never knew the shift command existed lol, that is going to help me so much.

Just to ad to your shift command weapon capture part, if you get suppressed before capturing weapon, your squad will retreat immediately, since weapons can't be captured while being suppressed

Very nice tips. Another tips is for infantry you can throw smoke first at space between you and enemy, so the enemy stops firing at you, then you throw grenade. Works marvelously. Also tank can deploy smoke so you cant get hit during retreating or reverse.

Btw. The exit building is extremely powerful in city maps with smg units. I used it with sturm pio closing distance EXTREMELY quickly go into house out the other way. It was so powerful to deal with

This guide has useful tips and tricks for rts in general to be exact shift command always do the shift command

Thanks for the tips Hans my buddy's and I have been playing coh2 a ton and watching your vids has helped my game by leaps and bounds so huge thank you. I've really enjoyed your content keep up the best work

A very useful video, well made and put together. A great example of 'attack ground' vs the Stuka!

I played this game for 1600h now and honestly didn't know these tips except the firing ground one haha!

i used to play SC:BW and WC3 ALOT, barely touched a RTS since, but since i discovered COH2 a few days ago i wanna get better, and this is exactly what i was looking for. You are quite a good teacher, i jsut need to get to a point where i am not toally overwhlemed by all thats happening so these become 2nd nature.

I’ve just gotten into CoH2 after having it for years, this video was godsend. Shift commands is amazing. Also you narrate like you’re at a dog race track and I love it :)

OH MY GOD I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH. I've lost count how many times my mg got out of the building from the wrong door and got wiped and stolen by the enemy. Thank you Hans-senpai!!! S2

It might be worth explaining how to retreat a weapons crew quickly upon exiting a building. If you don’t highlight the squad and retreat quickly enough you need to wait for them to set up before retreating which can be fatal.

Damn I've been wondering about facing MG's for a while and didn't know about attack ground and through a hedge. That's amazing. Such epic tips

You can also use shift command in the map, its more faster then visualizing the point on your screen

the "attack ground" tips are nice. definitely upped my game there, thanks.

Great Video, I just got into playing CoH2 and this helped a lot!

When encountering conscript and penal, always kill the conscript first that way the penal cannot be merged by conscripts

Always bringing the hits! Thank you

Thanks for helping Hans But seriously thanks appreciate the guides!

Been playing for a long time. I always knew how to do the exit building in COH1 but not in 2. Thanks

Please keep making these you are the best!

I never knew you could queue retreats, that is actually a great tip!

Hey man. Been loving your content. Long time RTS fan with CoH on top of course. Just wondering why no mention of control groups? Maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Great way to help newer people get an easy micro advantage while they learn the game as the control group mechanics are identical in most RTS.

These are very helpful. 👍

Thanks from a noob! Please keep the tips coming!

Really great tip videos!

Great vid mate! im 100 hours into pvp and didnt know you could exit buildings like that :D

The attack ground part was interesting, didn't know it will act like that.

I don't remember needing to use tab to control what side they come out, just right click with mouse the move command to mg in building and they will exit on closest exit to where you commanded them to move...

I love this kind of stuff

thank you i learn a lot's on you.. from philippines with love

Coronachan has given me a lot of time at home, and I've managed to save some money for a new rig. But miners fucked up the prices and gaming laptops are waay underpowered. So I'll save up the money until prices are acceptable. So now I'm stuck with an 8 year old Lenovo Z410 laptop which can only run older games and I'm very happy with COH franchise. Just finished Ardennes Assault and learning to be a better player. Thanks Hans.

you might should have add for tip 4, attack ground is also a good thing if you wanna destroy bridges so that you keep the enemy off from flanking you a side you dont want to or leave the enemy to repair it.

An important note on shift-commands: It doesn't work with vehicles that you want to path with reverse move, nor with infantry you want to exit a building and shift-do stuff. In the first case, the tank just forgets that you gave it an order to reverse around the hot zone and reverses directly to the last point; in the second case, the infantry forgets the exit order and does nothing at all. Also, it doesn't work with orders following attack ground. Obvious, really: The ground doesn't get killed, so that order never finishes. Which is too bad if you want to send one mortar shell exactly *here* , then one *here* , then *here* and so on, raining boominess on moving targets :/

This will highly improve my gameplay!

Very useful tips

Thanks for the tips! Quick question: Does the protection from sandbags Stack? What I mean is if you do two rows of sandbags, is your infantry better protected against supression for instance since there are more obstacles in the way? Or does it only count the first line and the second doesn't affect anything? Not that anyone in comp would do that but I was just wondering.

Love to watch Hans in the morning :D

Thank you !

This guy nows everything

Hey hans , thanks a lot for the tips, they have been helping alot. but there is one thing i must ask you, WHAT do you use for moving camera around the map. im not comfortable with the existing method like clicking on the map or dragin mouse to edges, and the arrow keys makes gameplay way too slow for me . i used the autohotkeys and made my WASD for cam movement which made my response time to everything really optimal and what i liked but i couldnt do alot of the micromanagement ,which was crucial , anymore. so what do you use that you are so comfortable and yet fast enough ?

TY BRO

thanks mate great tips. any tips for coh2 in 2023?

pretty useful

Thanks Hans

Can we get like a route line or something like age of empires when clicking the shift command so that we know this is what the infantry will go to next?

14:09 *chuckles* Delightfully devilish Seymour That is a great idea and way funnier when it works well

funny how i played COH1 many years ago (actually 10+years ago) and recently i suddenly decided to pick up COH2 full package from steam. and now i have trouble playing 4 v 4 with hard AI and I couldn't defeat them unless I turn one of the enemy down to standard difficulty....way too many armor. and 5:06 man, the details when the squad broke the glass to point the MG out...back then when this game first came out, it was unbelievable...

Well Hello there. I just started to play CoH 2... and really struggled the 2 mission USSR main company, when you need to protect base until everybody get out... I lost 3 games in a raw... Need to figure out how to make it through.

How to point stuff in the map so I can warn my teammates?

hello helping hans, i have a connection issue since some timne now. the game loses connection, everything freezes for up to 7 seconds or so and then fast forward to real time. problem is i cant do shit in the time and can only see my units die in fast forward... do you have any idea how i can fix this issue? the problem seems to be the connection to relic servern. i dont know what to do. every other game is running smoothly and there is no disconnect to the router or interent connection. if someone has a fix, im keen to try something :)

Can someone upload an (8p the Rhine) map to a link outside of a steam?

They should do something about barbed wire. It doesnot deny cover. The amount of times i had green cover right thro barbed wire

can i ask where did you get your framed pictures of company of heroes from

Yo Hans I know if you recrew a weapon with regular infantry they keep their health and armour but do they also maintain their offensive stats? As in would a grenadier with a rifle who is now supporting as part of an MG squad be far more effective than the weapons default crew who barely hit anything?

Guy please give me a name of this map he used in tip 4 and tip 5 ? Many thanks

Shift commands us bugged with OKW, downtimes they shift to build sandbags and they don't do it actually only 1 member of the squad enters the point

Here were my problems durong my first time playing COH1: 1. I played in a AOE Style 2. ORDER 226! HOLD YOUR GROUND (alot of dead people there) 3. I controlled 3 seperate groups at the same time, so i'm F#^£^d if all 3 were attacked. That happend often

I need a tip to decrease german tank pop by a lot lol

Hey hans, very helpful overall. Just wondering though, how do you use WASD in CoH2? I remember back in CoH1 days you needed a third party script to be able to rebind keys. Is that what you had to do?

Hans you sneaky devil

If you put barbed wire one side of a cover, sometimes you still can see the green dots on that side. If you send a squad there, the game will show, that they are benefiting from the green cover. So are they actually benefitting from it, and if yes, is the protection the same as without barbed wire?

I knew all of this but im still bad hahaha

I think its very bad that you cannot set direction of MG's fire BEFORE you get inside the building and its always random 1st time, afterwards that can cost you a lot.

Nice face;)) Thx for video!

When placing a MG in a building, it always faces a random direction. So it happens your MG won't face the enemy as it enters a building. Is there a way to fix that?

Does this game still have a online player base?

Helping Hans and others: I noticed that Hans moves his screen without moving his mouse to the edge. How does he do that? Does anybody know?

How do you reset the camera to the default ?

Does shift commmand work for COH1?

13:00 yeah if you have all the resources of the world ! :D

Time stamps for each tip would have been nice. :)

How do you get the enemy’s in cheat mode to stay away?

Man i hope they either get us a company of heroes 3 or rework company of heroes 2 so that we can use more than 4gb of memory. I believe it is still in 32bit, correct me if i am wrong tho.

just learned that i can put at guns in buildings... whhhaaat

there should be a tutorial in the game for this stuff...not a youtube video. if i knew all this stuff earlier i maybe would have played it much more

Para cuando un canal asi en español

i never know anti tank weapon can enter a house

Ehrm. Since when was SdKfz called something pronounced the same as StuKa? It's Sonderkraftfahrzeug, with an abbreviated german name which to the english-speaking sounds like "Zonka!" ;)

Company of heroes 2 is still alive?

How about never allow German players to get late game, and early game prevent as much fuel income as possible. Axis armies strength is late game
