Strategy?

[Hellcat]

Does anyone have, or know of any good strategy guides or forums to help take one's game to the next level?

I can't help you with the guides, but I can answer questions and give advice. What type of strategies are you looking for and with what armies?

Thanks Jimmy.

Mostly I was just talking with Dark on how to improve our game.

Well, from what I saw the last few times we played, late game you have to try and diversify your forces a bit. Rangers and Airborne are useful against lighter infantry and vehicles, but once the Wehrmacht gets veterancy on its infantry you really need something to surpress them. Go for Shermans or Halftracks with the Quad 40 to fight late game infantry. Machine guns, snipers, and mortars are definitely useful.

Also, only send 1 unit to cap points when you cap them. It doesn't go faster when you have more than one capping it at once; late game you risk getting hit with artillery and losing multiple squads.

AT guns are also important once you start to see Tigers and Panthers rolling around on the field. Shermans don't work as good against heavy armor unless you upgrade the main gun. If you do this, they are less effective against infantry.

I was going to add that you need to be real careful around upgraded mp40 Volks units. At close range they are some of the deadliest guys out there. They can be a real problem since they're usually one of the 1st units on the field. An MG will stop em cold though.

Theres 100s of stratagies out there and obviously each battle you get in, early, late game or whatever are different and require different strategies to counter.

The main thing i found when i first started playing was to find a good build order for each army, its easy to get carried away and waste lots of resourses on stuff you dont need and off map stuff what kills feck all.
My US build orders normally x1 eng, x4 rifles(jeep if needed), x2 m8, bars, x2 AT and then tanks and some form of arty if i need them. You need a good half of the map to make this build order effective though.

Early game its good idea to make use of mines as well they have saved my butt so many times in coh. A forward medic station is always good to especially if its close to the action. If you can flank with flamers they can make a mess early game to.

Late game the key is your vetted units, NEVER let your vetted units die. Wehr may buy there vet but there vet sucks compared to the other armies. 2 days ago i had x1 57mm and x2 vet3 rangers take out x2 king tigers, with no vet they would of failed.

When you go on the offensive never send the whole army always have a decent defensive line and send a few units to attack. Its surprising what a few units can do if you get behind the enemies lines. Try not to blob to, micro manage all units. Blobbing always ends in tears from arty against good players. Always make sure you in better cover than your enemies to unless your planning to flank.

Save your replay, especially the game you loose on. watch them and see what the other guys did and determine what you did wrong. Try to identify situational clues to key on, so to plan your next moves.
