You should do a tip on picking commanders, eg how to choose a commander, and when to pick them.

[@HelpingHans]

+TheFishGilled Good idea I will add that to my list.

[@raminfooladi9156]

yeah this will help a lot

[@unlink1649]

Tipp: If you have the Sturmtiger commander, you also have the spot tanks ability. Most players tend to cluster their tanks. Also the circle of impact of the sturmtiger is being displayed on the minimap. So what I do, is i don't spot enemy tanks with direct sight, but rather with the minimap and get a free kill on them. The range of the sturmtiger is insane and kills most tanks and even clusters with one shot. @HelpingHans

[@barry9009]

Hey Hans,can you do make a "Bunker/Fighting Position Placement + Wire and Sandbags" tips video please - Cheers.

[@KoiBoiRoi]

If I'm not mistaken, in your intro to the arty units you didn't mention the U.S. pathfinders, the U.S. Major, or the Coordinated Barrages for the UK forward assembly and Sections.

[@Scientist118]

17:05, you just helped me develop a tactic in my 4v4 matches.

[@kaelfire152]

+Scientist118 oh you little devil

[@saintlime]

So what's the difference between the two sandbags at the start?

[@HelpingHans]

+Umbra Fidelis Soviet sandbags have a chance to stop incoming tank rounds whereas British and Volk sandbags do not.

[@saintlime]

+Helping Hans (James Whiteside) Ah, i see! Thanks!

[@eindhovhoven8070]

That tip with sandbags near b4! So useful! :)

[@callmedeno]

Off topic but your camera always looks way more zoomed out, I'm wondering if its a mod, then how does that work in multiplayer?

[@jiojoe2165]

Hi Hans, great video. Instead of guessing on which side of the building enemies are retreating, why not cover both. The OKW rockets could cover a long and narrow area.

[@strangus7]

Could you give some tips about, when it's time to set artillary? Basic knowledge. Greetings.

[@donutowl7163]

I did not know the trees could potentially block artillery barrages from stukas, ect.

[@MBKill3rCat]

Do sandbags (including Ostheer ones) protect from artillery, even if they do nothing for tank shells?

[@stugosaurus775]

at least I have this to come to after the stream ending

[@nikolajovicic2791]

I have a question regarding stuka, you know hos sometimes a unit is in cover and stuka barrage hits, but they survive it, is that RNG or does cover help them survive it? Thanks in advance :-)

[@RomanticApplePie]

Green cover reduces received damage by 50%.

[@Nerfe3d]

mortar in counter mode is there range limit? or the act just like base ART?

[@HelpingHans]

+3y3candi Yes the range limited is their normal range.

[@LVLWHO]

but you didn't cover the sexton (hah)

[@jonhamster]

What faction do you think is the best? soviet, british or usa?

[@captbambino3638]

Jonsi soviet has best heavy hitting artillery with 105mm and 203mm howitzers. British and USA have weaker but more versatile and mobile artillery so they can “shoot and scoot” so to speak. Though, british and USA are more offensive focused factions while wehrmacht and soviet are more mixed with both good offensive and defence units and emplacements

[@simonna4280]

Bro how can you change the original blue color? You have them purple

[@namkgenc7674]

usefull tips ty for telling the mechanics of the game

[@meowmix271]

What mod are you using to allow you to take control of and spawn all of those different teams' units?

[@ShaunYap_98]

+Jerome Schwartz CheatCommands Mod

[@PanzerFaustFurious]

you forgot USA mortar halftrack :(

[@HelpingHans]

+PanzerFaustFurious Yes it was a mistake, though its a unit which is hardly ever used so its not really worth talking about.

[@Quazir86]

+Helping Hans (James Whiteside) Also the USA I&R Pathfinder

[@IlyaRhys]

+SoH Penta I second this. I&R unit is underestimated. It catch on surprise on public matches.

[@MrKvik79]

hey hans. what about the us major?

[@derschlaustekanal4616]

very strong vid..good work sir

[@OblivionDuelist]

Hans , can u do a video on about every faction build base on situation ? Would love to see those & good for beginner in this game :3

[@HelpingHans]

+OblivionDuelist Not sure what you mean. Do you mean when and why you would tech up for each faction?

[@OblivionDuelist]

well , what I mean is like. . If im using OKW , and my opponent using soviet . On what condition do I need to build IG mortar or do I need half track . And explain which tier 1 or tier 2 need to be build 1st base on situation . Something like that Hans . Sorry cant explain well though XD Hope u get what Im try to say here

[@HelpingHans]

+OblivionDuelist Ok I think I get what you are saying. If I do a tip on that then it would be called Teching or something I guess.

[@OblivionDuelist]

haha sorry kinda new in this game and ty for the respond han ^^ll

[@tehnolifeable]

+Helping Hans (James Whiteside) Yeah, you should do teching. I personally have a hard time determining when I should tech up.

[@MadTad]

@ 16:45 is this still possible? This is huge!

[@Termileon]

Used it yesterday yes it works

[@danieltsui212]

is lefh18 a good arty???

[@ezengondolkozom3700]

Yeeeees

[@goransvraka3171]

Unlike with stuka you can spam shit loads of them then get them all to fire at once together....then simply chillax and enjoy the fireworks! Massive damage

[@aa11ff]

Usa has pathfinders allso

[@aryapratama901]

nein artillery

[@เจษฎาขําเถื่อน]

สวัสดีครับ

[@ButtKraken01]

great video

[@Zenturio331]

not anymore lol. Sturmtiger can shoot barely over a small bridge now

[@gray9173]

The Sturm tiger was actually referred to as the "Assult Motar"

[@iwolfiegaming2200]

Is it just me or do i keep hearing "Cyka barrage"?

[@leonardoparodiambrose9856]

iWolfieGaming you sir made my day 😂

[@loreofmetal5604]

i think you are not crazy, the tank is called cyka

[@StinkeStiefelv3]

These Graphic settings look amazing. What are your settings and are you using any additional mods? :)

[@HelpingHans]

Setting on max and no mods that improve graphics.

[@newbiegain117]

lol

eany unit behind normal sandbags dont get extra defense i mean vehiculs and other big things

[@kevinlambo3211]

can you not block the screen with counter productive banners?

[@hackjuniordf]

Very nice, thanks for the tip!

[@WuW0w0-m8m]

Tank can crush sand baf

[@tancakar8987]

no balance in this game the stuka is far too good then any other mobile arty

[@sebking7902]

Because it's one of their only arty units and the other one sucks without incendiary barrage from commander.

[@goransvraka3171]

hey question on the STUKA for the OKW.... in a game i bought about 6+ then number them with CTRL + 1 but when i select all 6 to fire only one ever does. I literally have to micromanage each one on its own selecting the BARRAGE button...its really annoying and time consuming..... how can i get ALL 6 to fire simultaneously at once? The leH 18 can fire all at once!

[@HelpingHans]

Goran Svraka why would you fire all of them in the same location? One barrage is enough to wipe infantry. 🤪

[@goransvraka3171]

@@HelpingHans you spoke about enemy infantry and taking cover then predicting which side your opponent will exit and launching a stuka barrage (hopefully) in their direction....well with more than one stuka firing simultaneously you don't have this issue especially if firing from a longer range (as you said) the barrage spread is wide (more than one should do it). Also I just want to cause massive carnage. Unless stuka is for barraging infantry ONLY! In COH1 with stuka Hotchkiss light tank you could spam as many as your heart desires then go NUKE mode. Is there a reason why they made it like that in COH2? I would like someone to change it at least in a mod or something.... i.e. in All Units (172 Added) or something. Also I personally find that directional arrow annoying esp when I want to launch a barrage ASAP - maybe am not that deeply strategic as you are

[@publiusscipio5697]

See, these tips are all well and good, but I’ve been playing coh since I was 7. I don’t want to put this much though. I just want to brainlessly play against hard ai from muscle memory. This meta stuff is cool and all but too much effort
