Or, if youre feeling really risky set them up behind enemy lines to really get under your opponents skin. Put them in hight traffic areas, or in capture zones to leave a nasty suprise for any invadiing forces. Use landmines! I can't say i have ever seen a teammate set up mines, nor can i say any of my troops have been hit or kiled by enemy mines. Don't stop capturing after taking the control points and just set up defenses there, while it is good to defend those points, keep taking hostile territory.I cannot emphasize this enough, pressure the enemy from the beginning, keep their forces strained and be aggressive, but not so much as to lose many of your own troops. An IS2 can beat a tiger if you have it shoot, back off until reloaded, rinse and repeat.The british forces tend to be an exception to this last rule in general, until reaching heavy tanks, i havent tested, but jusging by the churchill's smaller cannon, I wouldn't expect it to beat a tiger.Exceptions known to me are that if you micro a more mobile tank well enough for flank hits and such (A well micro'd Sherman Easy 8 could beat even a badly micro'd Panzer VI TIger) An Allied forces medium tank can almost never beat its German equivilant in one on one combat.Calling retreat is not a sign of weakness, keeping a squad alive is better than them dying in next to any situation.You don't have to claim all the points on your half first, get some of your early units on enemy points to keep them from getting too organized and keep them out of your land.Be aggressive early, make the enemies fight for their home territory to keep them out of yours from the start.Here is a list of tips/tricks you should follow, especialy if any of your problems were similar to mine: Basically just because it is called a tank, that does not make it an effective tool to draw all of your enemies fire. Viewing tanks as what the gaming world calls a 'tank'.On the note of the last point: Not actually paying attention to what your teammates are saying, their plans, advice, etc.Even if the amount of screen used for type chat is not nearly enough and can be easily missed, it is at least worth watching for it and using it if you don't have voice comms. Pretty clear in meaning, but even an occasional typed message can make a difference. I do play both games, and have thought many a time during a tank battle on COH2 things "I know (insert tank here) could have penatrated (other tank)'s armor from that angle!" Perhaps those things are/were true, but COH2 is a GAME, and within this game not everything will be dead on to history/other games and it would be worthwhile to try and remember that while playing. This one is kind of personal, but I am sure at least some of you who play this also play WoT. Over relating the game to other games and/or realism.(A veteran conscript squad is by far worth the work of keeping them alive) Playing soviets for exaple, I would think of and use my conscripts as a meatshield without ANY amount of unit preservation in mind. Using history (or how the campaign wants you to think) as too much of a reference.(For Example: These riflemen are almost dead, pinned down by a german Mg, and being shot out by another squad, so i would try to get them to move up and throw a frag at the Mg and call a retreat right before them being killed.) 9 times out of 10 it did not work and I lost a squad, but when it did work it was awesome!.) As far as capturing territories went, I claimed what was on my teams half and the control points, and let the enemies have their territory (which is bad as i now know!).Many of the issues i noticed in my self were: I noticed a few key tricks and also why I was failing before. After coming back to competative play I decided to try any and all possible ideas that came to mind (since my old stratagy obviously wasn't working!). Because of this I only recently got back into the multiplayer/competative scene, as I just kept comp stomping on automatch vs AI. I even checked the endgame stat screens and everything seemed to be fine. I then moved on to the next match expecting different results, yet they never came. It did not help that no one I was ever matched with pointed out that I was doing something wrong (and it wasn't uncommon for them to get angry at me without providing advice), so I assumed the other players were doing something cheap or were simply better players. Forces, but play the Germans as well) For the longest time, I just kept playing multiplayer matches and kept getting shutdown and defeated quite decisively and could not figure out why. (Note: I usually play the allies, both Soviets and U.S.
