This is the general problem of Hans, he's very reserved. Instead of ending the game asap with an mp advantage (after wiping 2-3 squads) by capping 3 VPs, he decides to sit and defend allowing Noggano to slowly build an army

[@generalfred9426]

TBH his biggest mistake was that he never tried cut Noggano's fuel supplies until late game

[@delta0307]

@@generalfred9426 yeah bec he defended heavily and props to him rea)y for repelling attacks like 5x? But ofcourse props to noggano also for trying and trying until he cracked it. Hans should have pushed all the way when he destroyed the 2 P4s

[@aidancrowder4911]

He still felt bad about Noggano's panther

[@Paper762]

Good game mate showing the true beauty of COH2 as an RTS from using a spotter for your long-range destroyer having support teams backing up you retreat and flank, to infantry supporting tank, combine arm, tactical strike, flare, radio silence... It is truly what made me fall in love with the game. There is more to COH than just micro and fasthand

[@vasilistsilioukas4270]

omg Hans! what an almost comeback!! ggwp

[@MikeMaragni]

I like seeing good players play^^ It's entertaining and instructive

[@lotharlaishram765]

Speaking of the monitors , reminds me of that call of duty mission about the 101st airborne div landing behind enemy lines and their landing was a complete disaster. Ahhh the Nostalgia Gg by the way.

[@pur3evilshot]

Love the videos! Just a quick question, what keys do you use to pan the camera? Im trying to better my gameplay!

[@michaellindoewood4420]

Could anyone answer why Hans got the Greyhound after the stuart? Ive always been under the impression that getting two light vehicles delays getting out a medium too much.

[@undaijoubunii-chan586]

You saw proganno's heavy infantry plays Not to mention he lost his stuart too early in the game to risk losing a major anti inf armor for early midgame

[@keithdiaz6147]

It frustrates me too much that he just sat there and not end the game when he got a huge advantage.

[@fullfrontal3462]

Elaborate?

[@Afr0Thund3r]

@@fullfrontal3462 You have a manpower advantage and just wiped a few squads, maybe you should press the attack instead of sitting on your hands letting your enemy regain it's strength?

[@Paper762]

[@ultr4l0wl1n3r]

intense game. That was entertaining!

[@gerard518]

Superb near comeback Hans, also very good game to watch from an indtructional point of view. It's incredible how elastic and resilient the USF are. Had an axis force been repelled the way you were early on, there would be no path for recourse/coming back IMO. Also what are your thoughts on the command panther? I think it performs poorly for the cost and its timing respectively. Also I think the Jacksons are way too resilient for their price, damage and firepower. You objective thoughts would be much appreciated.

[@Biggocat]

i am eager to observe how he handles the situations rather splendidly.

[@UrDaddy4Real]

@Helping Hans, ur probably the best in 'preserving' units out of all. I really need to know how do you 'place ur hands' on deck? Like how do you: 1) pan camera 2) reverse tanks 3) throw nades 4) else worth knowing

[@TheSweetSpirit]

he probably uses middle mouse button to pan camera, or a faux key that activates MMB when held via a script like autohotkey. When he isn't using the minimap at least.

[@UrDaddy4Real]

@@TheSweetSpirit yeah, im using 'Auto Hotkey' (i guess thats the name) binding for WASD keys camera panning. Greatly improved my game.

[@FALAV]

Great game Hans!

[@omarabdelaty634]

I have a question: Why doesnt he switch the elite light tanks vehicle crew with those of newly trained medium tanks. wouldnt that be much better overall?

How do you guys find other players for 2v2’s? Are there any groups or clans out there which we can join? I cant seem to find anything on google searches.. i keep getting teamed up with noobs & it gets a bit boring when they charge their t70’s straight into enemy AT guns

so Hans, how do you move the camera? Do you have AHK arrow keys remapped to shift+AWSD?

[@esat2455]

Epic game

[@Nekrocow]

When and why do you get both officers? Is there some kind of guideline to this?

[@taytertot9382]

My admittedly limited knowledge is that you start with Lt cause the Stuart wins the light tank/vehicle game pretty hard and MGs are valuable for map control and pushing up. If you win early/mid game control then you go straight for major cause you’ll be able to get tanks out as early or earlier then axis can. But if you are losing on map control early/mid game (especially in regards to who’s had fuel ownership), then you go Captain cause you’ll never be able to get medium tanks out early enough to deal with theirs. So you go captain to get at guns as a way of trying to defend yourself and try to creep back into a winning position/buy yourself time to recap fuel and get tanks out.

You can do that in custom lobbies

[@arnaurapid]

Hi Hans, I think you would have benefited a lot in this match from using the 1st hability from your commander choice. It allows to capture VPs with vehicles and you could have saved the end like that but also been able to apply more pressure along the match in the rightmost VP. It was a shame not seeing you use it in all the match. Cheers

[@useruser6240]

quite some times we dont see Hans OKW i think...

[@istvanszoke381]

Meghiszem jól elbasztad az utolsó esélyedet, de vigyázzál!

[@XIGuyIX]

I’m a relatively new and unskilled player and only really play team games of 3v3 and 4v4 and please don’t meme my question but are the German factions easy mode? It seems like you can make many mistakes with Germans and get wiped and still win. Buy it seems if that happens with Soviets or Americans it makes it much more difficult to win. Whenever I play Soviets it feels like an uphill battle all the time. Especially with panther brumbar combos

[@ZxMoonLightxZ]

that happends mostly in 3 vs 3 and 4 vs 4, those modes were never balanced and i think never will be :S

[@sophiesthirdchoice4903]

Same here. Relatively new player and the Germans just seems incredibly OP. This just might be the n00bage talking so I'd love to hear someone a bit more experienced weighing in.

[@XIGuyIX]

I don’t really want this being a whinge thread. But last night I was in a 3v3 I played brits and the axis (all ost) went the commander with ostruppen and we wiped so many squads and so they spammed out park 40’s and mg bunkers. We’re noobs and don’t really know how to counter it but it seemed pretty impossible. Couldn’t get close with infantry even with smoke because of bunkers and my comets and avre were basically getting one shot by paks. So my ally built arty to take out their paks and bunkers but they were building them faster then we could destroy them. Then they just dove panthers at our artillery and gg.

[@KomradeCPU]

@@sophiesthirdchoice4903 I believe that's more of a question about power spikes, build orders and counters. It seems the factions have to understand that concept somewhat, depending on the openings, something that only comes either by reading each faction and commanding branch or experience by playing it. You also must be a decent micro and macro player to reverse from an opponent snowball, that's why this video is awesome, a rollercoaster on all of that, even though Hans had map control at some point in which he decided to focus on vps and not fuel points, leading for a good play from Nagano with double p4, especially with that early one. You could argue that he would have been dead at that point had not been for the early p4, in which demonstrates all those aspects of decision making (macro) and tactical implementation with combined arms (micro).

[@MrAkaacer]

@@XIGuyIX Been there done that. Don't sacrifice your tanks against those paks. Hold the line and build arty to wipe out the bunkers. Keep your infantry alive but in front of your tanks to make sure those paks don't sneak up on you and snipe your tanks. Get vision, flares or recon. Switch your inf to anti-tank if they have no infantry left and build lots of mines. I see a lot of allies throwing away an advantage by always attacking because they get an early advantage and think they can roll axis. Axis have very good anti-armor so you need to be careful when they go defensive and switch to paks and mgs. They're just buying time to get tanks at this stage. You won't stop them getting tanks, so switch to arty tactics. Your tanks and inf are there to protect the arty, so no silly offense. in this stage of the battle vision is your best friend and also theirs, so if you see enemy recon planes, get anti-air asap. Do not let axis recon you late game.
