Alright, so I played a fair amount of the original Company of Heroes + Expansions back in the day. However, this was back in the day.
You see, this was years ago. I jumped into Company of Heroes 2 with a pretty firm grasp of a lot of the basic systems. I get how cover works, how resources are earned, vehicle armor facings, etc. Unfortunately, where I fall apart are the army specifics.
I've mostly played with the USSR against bots, but I've played a couple online matches as well. I open with conscripts, followed by more engineers, and then my 1st building. This is where it gets difficult; working towards a specific strategy or goal is based on the building you choose. Map control is important, I realize this, but what best achieves this?
Is it locking down key areas with machine guns, or instead getting snipers to harass enemy forces? I rarely build mortars, should I be? What exactly is that scout car for?
I usually go for the support weapons, but after this, my strategy kinda totally disappears. I'll just keep building conscripts until I have the fuel for T-34 tanks, and then attempt to bring in as many of those as possible (if I'm still alive at that point). I won't lie it kinda sucks, which is why I made this thread.
Basically, how do you decide which units to buy for any given game? Do you have any build orders or recommended units/upgrades? Any tips on this from other people in the beta right now would be great. And, tips on either faction are helpful, since I plan on playing Germans eventually. Thanks in advance
