CoH2 Crash Course #5: Tech Decisions + OKW

[@jaymendoza4616]

Hello I just finished binging your 5vid tutorial series. And I want to say that you really do a great job of teaching basics of the game. You tell us what you're doing. You demonstrate what each strategy can do and what I like about the series is that you try out diff strats for the sake of demonstration so that we can see what it can do. Hope to get more tutorial content tho maybe for mechanical skills? Microing and stuff. I'm a new COH2 player but I loved COH1. Thanks again and I subscribed already!

[@TheRaven109]

That was very helpful! OKW is one my favs and that gave me a few insights how to do a couple things better.

[@skippyfx]

Glad to hear that. :-)

[@tut_an_come_on7923]

Thanks Skippy helps a lot. Cheers from Turkey

[@skippyfx]

My pleasure, comrade!

[@Pantsugrenadiere]

Recently i looted the overwatch commander, and i must say those goliath.......when you see an ennemy blob retreating on your path.....maybe not the most effective but certainly the most enjoyable

[@justinjabines4710]

This was great, been playing for a while and was frustrated with my games. This taught me more than all of those games. Great stuff, thanks!

[@deathhood2]

Just got the game and these guides have been really helpful. Thankd for this mate.

[@obaewankenobae9961]

As a long time OKW player I would like to point out some things as well. 1-Altough not having lots of health Kübelwagen has the same lmg as Obersoldaten. That means you can support your infantry very well with it for example if your Volksgrenadiers are fighting the Küb can give you that extra punch you need. 2-LeIG is not an infantry killing mortar untill you vet it up but one thing it’s really good is draining the opponents hp, leaving a full man squad almost useless. 3-Tank diversity in OKW is what you want. It might seem like Panther is the best tank but I recommend building a Pz4 if your enemy has more infantry since it is really good at dealing with them. 4-If you decide to build the flak halftrack use it as a mg or as a assault “supporter” not like the leader of the assault. Takes lots of micro management 5-I don’t recommend going for early Raketenwerfers for your strums. Do it in the lategame when enemy has 2 tanks

[@DaVe-my4fd]

very good guide

[@MartijnTV]

I feel like you miss the point of the repair on the tier 3 base. It doesnt cost any pop cap, so you have free repair which makes it SO good cause you technically have another pioneer.

[@skippyfx]

Fair point!

[@skippyfx]

Awesome! Welcome aboard.

[@rinasogi9240]

Thanks for the Video Skippy, I have been playing alot of company of heroes lately and to be honest here OKW is the only faction that I personally struggle immensely due to the fact that they're not able to build munition cache or fuel storage because of this i'm very reliance on early infranty and anti-tank units (such as rocketwaffel) as well preserving units due to the fact they're the only fact in game that is able to go up to 5 star 🌟 veterancy so if i want to be successful with OKW I need to dominate dominate fights in early game and push far as I can. That's why the two early infranty units are very powerful at early pushes (volkgeranadier and sturmpionner)

[@TheAlanReviews]

Panzerfusiliers do not have carbines. They have G43 rifles.

[@TheOis1984]

hi Skippy, when we plant an S-minefield, there are skull and crossbones signs on 4 corners of the minefield. will they be visible to the enemy?

[@skippyfx]

Yes.

[@TheOis1984]

@@skippyfx ah... so the minefield serves more as deterrent than a trap? once spotted, opponent will bring in engineers with minesweeper or a tank to run over it

[@skippyfx]

You’d be surprised, sometimes they will travel over it on a way to something, another good use is having them in a common retreat path, but yes, definitely more of a deterrent.

[@joneszer1]

Skippy. Make a video on urban warfare. Fighting in a city is tough and I wanna know better tactics

[@skleem4871]

Flame up homie

[@taddl.2401]

Old Video, but 10 minutes in...and i learned more than from tutorials and stuff :D Nice vid

[@karolkozuchowski5578]

If they are blobbing, you should go for Mechanized. Panzer II is great against infantry, but requires a lot of micro-ing, and a Stuka is the first rocket launcher that can be deployed. If you play two OKWs - one goes Medic, second one - Mechanized. Command Panther is a good guardian/Assister for ally's King Tiger.Spec Ops is a good combination alongside Zeroing Artillery from the Fortifications. Sturmpioneers are one of the best infantry for close quarters combat. Panzer IV J is a great all-around tank, can withstand a lot of punishment. Panther is well, Panther.

[@AussieVeteran71]

When building sandbags , could you put barbwire in front of the sandbags and mines leading towards the points (that’s how I do it and it’s sort of successful until I’m flanked)

[@TheAlanReviews]

I think so

[@Tosnoob]

Huh I won't lie, the thing I learned most about these videos is that units don't die as fast as I would've expected. Even with a tank being anti-tank, it's... still a tank, so seeing a handful of men just run up to him in the relative open, eat three tank shots and not have a single one die was.. good to know.

[@samwu1836]

5:15, haha, Skippy is now Kimbo....

[@reedjohnson0241]

Skippy! what is your take on the aviation doctrine for OKW? I prefer it but haven't found the best playstyle yet

[@TheOis1984]

Choose Firestorm doctrine to make the Sturmpioneers even more deadly with the flamethrower upgrade :)

[@KrakenIsMahB]

flamethrower over Stg 44 ? nah, only better when fighting garrissoned units in buildings, rest might be the same or stg might be still better.

[@TheOis1984]

Michal Ďubašák the flamethower will wound the enemy models considerably while the squad members with stg will finish them quickly

[@Post_grad]

Skippy I watched all the tutorials and I want to try them out in a 2v2 skirmish with ai. So which difficulty should I give them ? Standard or easy ? I am a beginner in this game. Love your content bro 👊

[@skippyfx]

Try Standard, I believe in you!

[@samemz]

standard is genuinely not that hard. As long as you listened, you shouldn't have to much trouble. Just remember to NEVER give up on a match, I've had multiple times where a few standard ai's made a big push and threw me back and I was tempted to quit, but I stayed and was able to push them back and win. if your new and you have an older keyboard, the "pause/break" button will stop time and allow you to think and look around in an AI match.

[@juanzulu1318]

Standard should work. And has the advantage that units strength and ressource flow are not buffed. For pvp training I suggest to play 2v3 or even 2v4 standard AI if you need a new challenge.

[@leventesziklai6703]

Keep up the good work we enjoy it so much

[@messageinthebottle1673]

I will admit OKW playstyle is impacted the most by its commanders because it's commanders effects the OKW's playstyle the most. Personally I found the special operation commander the hardest to use because it requires alot of skills to use. While firestorm and grandoffense are my two best/easiest commander to use.

[@tanguyappollinaire9858]

You need to call at least one truck to unlock the volks's grenade

[@skippyfx]

Correct.

[@KagurbachFD]

[@samwu1836]

16:50 Wrong, engine damage snares will always be applied on a full health light vehicle. However, you need at least a penetrating hit from an AT gun to snare medium to heavy vehicles. If memory serves me correctly, a full health heavy tank can survive 2 snares without taking engine damage; the third one should do the trick. A full health medium tank typically survives 1 snare, with the second snare applying the engine damage. This is all assuming no AT gun or handheld rocket launchers are in play.

[@makarov718]

15:20 the valentine for brits will do the same i believe

[@gerard518]

Nice fluid and solid tutorial for beginners. Very comprehensive. Only yank streamer I can stomach on youtube who doesnt instantly qualify for a cascade of uppercuts 😂 Dare say looks like you were pitted against absolute chumps in this match. Also, not applicable for the more challenging 1vs1 or 2vs2 formulas. Keep up the good work mate! Greetings from Australia

[@mikkel066h]

Sturm pioneers only loose 25% of dmg to infantry since it is only one stg that is converted into a panzerschreck.

[@skippyfx]

Ah, roger that. Thanks for the correction! 🙌🏻

[@flytie3861]

Maybe minesweeper cuz i never heard of 1 shrek upgrade lol. Its 100 munitions for double shreks reducing 50% of their anti inf. And 60 for a single minesweeper

[@mikkel066h]

@@flytie3861 Panzergrens and Panzerfusiliers are the only 2 units that gets 2 shreks. The sturmpios get 1 shrek for 70 ammo put can survive cold and move through thick snow without getting slowed down.

[@hectorflorespauner3404]

Ok skippy, that's it for the crash course, excelent videos, I learnt some tricky moves and how to recruit some units I didn't know were there. Thanks a lot man. Now I wanna ask, have you ever tried men of war assault squad 2?? perhaps you could do a video trying that game, I'm pretty sure it won't dissapoint you :)

Okw falschamjagger are way better than volks thats why I stuck into that doctrine and didnt change it for the last 50 games

skippy, what do u think about feuerstorm doctrine on 1v1?

[@aleksaradojicic8114]

Its good against Soviets. I lost to feuersturm doc OKW in good hands.

[@MIApor]

17:54 at first i thought you wanna say mp40 but then i realised that okw don't really have access to it (i don't know how this faction works, that's why i'm here) then i saw that it's stg44. I really love the way you explain the details, how the faction works and everything. Really love it, so keep it up! Can somebody explain me what are these tutorial time here in KZbin? The most famous coh2 players are making tutorials these days. It's just a coincidence or maybe more?

Sturm pioner vs Enginer USF, i think enginer will win because have thompson and 5 man squad ...

[@TheOis1984]

yes, the assault engineer will win in short range duel with sturmpioneers. however, what i hate about USF and UK factions is that they need commanders special powers or base upgrade to unlock many things that the Axis forces already have by default. for example: you want to upgrade your lousy Rear Echelon with more capable engineers? choose this certain commander. while the OKW has a sturmpio squad by default. you want a 5-man squad, weapon upgrades, and grenade for your british infantry section? upgrade and spend for each feature first. while OKW's volksgrenadiers have all 3 without much hassle

[@AncestralAurelius]

Wait what? Stumpioneers lose 50% of their infantry damage if you give them combat package upgrade? Since when ???

[@skippyfx]

They lose 25% damage output (1 of 4 models) because one model is holding a minesweeper instead of gun. However, there is a button to put the minesweeper away (but mine detection will stop).

[@AncestralAurelius]

@@skippyfx Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the reply btw:) I guess that is the same case with the upgrade that gives them AT? They also lose 25% damage?
