german players always crying..... typical

@@TheBrujoga10 ah, so you also noticed that it was never under pressure and only got really threatened once the whole game? Never mind that there is no field able counter until Werfers or stukas.

I'm late but the 120mm has been the worst Mortar since release and it has finally gotten buff it needed to be the strongest ingame

😂

Lol

Axis is the strongest side in the game, Helpi needs some pills

okay but admit that was kinda cool

Yeah , The shoot was pen to but still boom the mine this is why i So hate to put a mine

That’s how the soviets feel every game for every 5 shots only 1 pens

Lucky

oh gosh why mines aren't like these lel :P

Yes 🤮

Up to you, you can skip it if you want. Don’t worry about it.

You are right Mike, i totally agree with you !

As an OKW main only, I would agree that going for mech is a rather underwhelming feeling and I am in no way capable of jumping tier straight into 3 and skip healing, as you already mention OKW will starve munition if they do not get healing. I go for both meaning I delay heavily my Tier 3 and invest into early mech ( I win a lot with this it is not a meme the Luchs) but I will starve fuel and this require early control of at least one fuel site which is why I go 2x Sturm into 2 Volk early..... Tier 3 is the last Tier I go and at that point I only get King or Panther to deal with Allies heavy while Luchs handle the infantry, Raken and Sturm handle early armors, if we are falling behind (no fuel control) than Healing into tier 3 with an Panther and Ober out. Mech useless unless you a pressing hard early games. KingTiger the only tank that had some kick like ISU or IS2 Ober to deal with infantry 1 squad (2 if you are having a good game and floating) usually having only one already dry my MP 2 Volk front backbone 2 Sturm Assault (2x shreck if needed) use truck to heal Armors, lay mine in retreat part to save Luchs from being hunt down. Also do not chase with Luchs stay from a distance behind infantry and use the Tank as a mobile support auto gun not as a Spearhead tank. 1 MG to guard (OKW) 1 or 2 even 3 Raken ( IF enemy armor is giving you a hard time since OKW CAN retreat with their AT compare to another faction this is A BIG PLUS) Luchs early pressure (if losing go normal MG supported by support gun get 2 support gun if you feel like it, cause they cost no fuel and is available with techtree, Hans is bleeding dry cause of those arty can't let Allies freely arty you they will bleed you dry) Double Panther to help hold sure they are not good vs infantry but they are better to had vs enemy Armor like 85 and will push them back, triple MG also help with vs infantry, you scare the armors off with Panther NEVER CHASE them, we only hold I win a lot by holding not chasing but holding with Panther support making Volk and Ober can win trade with enemy trying to cap if armors come in Panther can scare them off they are the only Tanks that can. KingTiger only get if losing a Panther, floating or enemy having ALOT of infantry Spam. Puma to me is really hard to fit into the build no matter how you look at it unless you are ahead in fuel. But anything I do not think the OKW is under preforming I would said the Wehrmacht is hurting way more than the OKW in term of strength (Since a lot of my Wehrmacht teammate never had any infantry at late game they can never support me with infantry, when I play in teamgame 2vs2 as OKW I am always the one alone who had any sort of infantry presence, the good support me with Rakenwefer, and that pretty much is the rest of holding the line from breaking is on my part)

Except Axis are stronger than Allies

I have to disagree with axis having no good lv,s. Allies have more ulv but axis lv are as good or better. Only t70 stuart and eac are better but they fit in the light tank catagory. As allies across the board have weaker stock mediums in raw stats its only fair their lights are a bit stronger. Also that volks and grens are weak or to expensive i disagree with. Volks are better at dislodging then cons they get a undroppable upgrade wich isent great but buffs all ranges esp close range. Okw also has elite obers and kt stock for later on and many elite doctrinal inf, hence volks cant be to strong. Grens unlike allied stock inf are exclent wipers, a true glass cannon squad, they (retreat) wipe better then cons and rifles with their supirior long range power often clipping the last few models The 222 is the king of the scout cars, it wrecks m3 uc and jeeps it provides ai light at aa and vision for just 30 fuel you cant expect it to do more. The flametrack wrecks in 1v1 but not so much in 4v4 but it cant be good every where. The flack track is king in controlling infantry movements as well as doing aa and relativly mobile and durable cuz of smoke. The quad is infirior in the regard imo. The puma gets the get out of jail free smoke stock, even can but not always deal deal with mediums and has decent ai. People should also stop saying panthers suck.. you are not using them as intended. Its not a bigger beefier p4 nor a mini tiger nor a td. Its ai is weaker by design, its pen is higher meaning you use it as at focused tank with supirior armour and hp and medium tank speed.

Sure I'm happy to talk about it. I think what you're feeling now is actually just closer to equal balance between Allies and Axis. Historically Axis usually floats around a 55% winrate vs Allies with 45% winrate in 2v2. That's a huge difference in win rate between factions, and is the result of Axis factions being stronger than Allied factions. Ideally, Allied and Axis should be even with a 50%-50% winrates. I think we can agree that wins should be the result of player skill and tactics, not faction strength. However, this is very hard to achieve since the factions are 1) asymmetrical and 2) balance changes between 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4. Anyways, recent balance patches have actually made the game more balanced overall. The Winter 2021 balance patch had Axis with a 55% winrate vs Allies. The Commander Update in June brought balanced much closer, with Axis enjoying a 52% winrate vs Allies' 47%. Finally, with the most recent Summer 2021 Balance Patch, the winrates are closer still, with Axis seeing ~51.5% winrate vs Allies with 48-49%. However, we've only had three weeks with the most recent patch, so there's not as much data to go off of. But overall, the game seems to be getting more balanced in 2v2. Looking at 1v1, OKW seems to consistently lag behind OST by a few %, and the most recent patch has Allies overperforming. For 1v1, the Commander Update in June seemed to be the most balanced point for 1v1 games. But 2v2 and 3v3 games have been more equal since the Summer 2021 balance patch. Personally, I think 2v2 is the sweet spot for the game, since in 4v4 heavy armor (Axis-favored) is so dominant, and in 1v1 map control (Allied-favored) is most important. >> COH2 Statistics

so basically blob everything. brilliant plan XD

@@useruser6240 I hate it, but I mainly play with soviets and see this in every match and it is impossible to counter unless you win before late game...

@@MrDante3212 That works on lower ranks maybe. But in no way will that work when facing good allied Players. Heavy tanks don't really work Vs tank destroyer walls. The axis have the superior medium and heavy tanks (mostly not the doctrine ones) but the allies have the superior tank destroyers. When it comes to infantry i think that axis has an edge early game but late game 7 man cons double bar riflemen and bolstered double bren sections all SMASH hard their axis counterparts except for obers. Also blobbing is never a good strat in the long run. A singular mg or a well aimed rocket arty shuts it down hard for the soviets. In the case of brits who don't have rocket arty they can use their 5 man double bren sections in the late game to gun down blobs. Volk will be decimated on the charge and Grens lose long range to sections. USF can use their scotts to bleed any infantry blob HARD. and what you can also do is get 2 pathfinders and triple lmg paras to win any blobbing situations. If you don't like that usf playstyle You can go for double 50 cal. They have very fast unpacking speed it allows them to even dodge axis rocket arty. So you can suppress blobs and not fear losing your mgs to arty if you are quick on your micro. The reason blobs are so effective is because they are super low IQ low micro strats. It is easier for the blobber to play but if they get shut down by good players there is pretty much nothing they can do to come back into the game. This comes from a mainly axis player(i do enjoy some usf) i personally never use blob tactics but i described when i do when i play allies and what i see enemy allied players do to my blobbing teammates in 2vs2 games. Hope that helps.
