Favorite things in CoH (General tips)

[*CCCP*]

CoH is a great game, some things I make sure to do are -

Block chokepoints. Your engis build barbed wire fast, and it's free. if theres an enterance to a base thats unneccessary, barbed wire it off.

Once the game gets going and starts being more geared towards armor and halftracks I like to build a bunch of MB gunners and stick them in buildings by flags, to defend it, cause I like to (And the CPU likes to) send just one unit of engineers or riflemen to cap a point you dont think the enemy has fortifications on.

If I cap a really useful flag (like a middle flag) I like to put a mortar squad lined up on a fence looking at a flag, so they can pound it if they send tons of infantry in.

As US, I basically only build M10 tank destroyers as far ar armor goes, they are the only thing that can stack up to the german beasts (ie: tigers).

Anyone else?

umm after i woop the germans with an armor assault combined with mortars and artillery and utterly destroy their base i take all my mortars and make some more, about 10 or 15 teams of mortars, then i give them 2 sqauds of rifleman with BARs. What i like to call it is "The Hunt" i go around hitting any outposts that i didn't capture with a mortar barrage and then i smoke out an area that i could use to advance on with my squads then kill of the rest :)

the other thing i do is go around the map blowing the hell out of all the buildings, if they have enemy troops garrisoned i shell em with artillery ( by that time u usually have huge stockpiles of ammo and fuel, who the hell cares about man power at that point =D)

those are my favorite things

I usually play dumb. I let the enemy get a bunhch of shit and make little unorganized assaults on my base, while I'm slowing collecting all ym resources and out of nowhere I will anally pound you with a huge ass barrage of arty, tanks, callipollis and flak cannons.

Too bad a simple tank rush can ruin all of that, you have to move fast in this game, sitting back in your main masturbating to your 18 riflemen squad wont do you any good.

yup i noticed that after a while, but that's what i do with americans, if i were the germans i would tank rush em with Panzers and maybe 1 panther i think they cost too much :P

I hate using artillery strikes because the stupid AI runs outta the way of the strike before them flares even land down
