Company of Heroes 2: Tip of the Week #22 Garrisons

[@sanadedixeptar5214]

Jesus im playing for like 500 hours and i didnt realise this game is detailed that much

[@SignorTromboncino]

Very interesting stuff as always! Mostly shooting through the collapsed houses with different heights, which I never bothered to test really. You probably know already about these things, but other important stuff to note are the fact that artillery units like mortars and mostly Katyushas/Werfers/Stukas will end up hitting the house in front of em if they are positioned too close. Or the fact that some units can shoot through non-collapsed houses, mostly notably the PAK43 which doesn't even damage them. Or in the early game, where if a house if wired on both sides, the building can then be used from both doors until one of the 2 doors is cleared. Also, this is a bit of a cheeky one, but if you spot a mine near a house with a sweeper, you can then let him initiate the movement towards the minen and then enter the house afterwards, so he will clear the mines (even multiple minefields) very quickly and in safety :')

[@ex-PARROT]

btw sounds an interesting channel !

[@AnoxiusGames]

Glad to see ur back with your tip of the week vids . Keep up the good work. 😀

[@ex-PARROT]

Thank you for another wery useful and interesting video. My suggestion for a future 'tip of the week' would be based around map tactics. You very experienced players know which locations to rush / plant mines etc. Also certain maps are mentioned as being favourable for particular factions; I think it would be interesting to have this illustrated

[@koin88love]

I think this is a good idea for new video. Map specific tutorials with capping orders, house rushes, early door and cover wiring off, where and why to build cover on key points ect

[@ex-PARROT]

Wiring off and cover on key points would be great

[@patrol2omega]

So true about some maps favoring certain factions, I have ban around 4 maps that simply benefit the OBKW so much, as they can build their buildings so close to the VP, extremely early into the game.

[@dryzd]

I am playing coh2 from beta and I didn't know a lot stuff! Thanks man!

[@Yui_187]

Man the attention to detail Relic made. all the destruction

[@dhameoin]

Thank you Hans, it was really helping :)

[@ericyuan9718]

Thanks HH, I never knew the peculiarities of when shells will get through the house. I always though players that would try to shoot through downed buildings were just stupid until now.

[@KoiBoiRoi]

Always wondered how the flame damage worked. Thanks!

[@patrol2omega]

Thanks a lot for such a great video! Now could you please make one about "Best Intel bulletins and Commanders" per faction and if possible for 1v1 and 2v2 in the current meta. That, in particular, cost me a lot to decipher on which were the best for my faction until this day. Been playing for 3 months.

[@OrisOsiris1]

i got a suggestion of a topic to cover: can you highlight the differences of Bren Guns, BARs, STGs, MG42 (LMG version), MG34 (LMG version), and DP LMG? from my meager experience, i use Rifleman squads with BAR upgrades, but there seems to be not much upgrade in firepower, while there is a marked improvement for a Grenadier squad firepower when an MG 42 LMG is added (cmiiw) another suggestion, can you rate infantry squads based on their effectiveness? i notice the Conscript squad to be the worst squad in trading shots, as they can hardly kill anything unless in 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 scenario. thanks Hans, you are a great help to COH2 players :)

[@winters_4611]

How do u get zoomed out so far? I understand that this is a custom game but even when ur matchmaking, ur game zooms out further than mine

[@Vaccie]

It's Cheat commands mod II option.

[@HelpingHans]

Maybe the resolution you use is lower than mine? What do you use?

[@winters_4611]

I use 1920x1080

[@DamonRX]

it's the mod he is using , there are mods in which you can zoom out so far that you actually won't be able to see your units.

[@HelpingHans]

It's not. The mod I use doesn't make the camera pan out. So I am genuinely not sure why Winters is having this issue. Check the ingame resolutions settings vs your monitor settings.

[@raphaelcavin6038]

hey great vid Hans; just a question. when you speak about the useless house because of lack of windows, can you ram a wall to creat some without collapsing the house ?

[@HelpingHans]

That is true.

[@shaungell4032]

Hi Hans wanted to understand Vetted up units, for example had a OKW p4 vet 4 and missed its target 6 times in a row, at close range. I would have thought that ok with early tank crew but a vet 4 unit should be better than that surely.

[@HelpingHans]

Shaun Gell Looks like you had a really bad spot of RNG there mate all I can say. :/

[@eddragon2264]

P4 suffers big on accuracy if you fire on the move. Were you moving?

[@shaungell4032]

@@eddragon2264 hi yes I was need to remember they are poor shot on the move. Thanks for getting back to me

[@shaungell4032]

@@HelpingHans hi thank you for getting back to me so quickly

[@turtelshoty9149]

Are light tanks\armored car spam considered as op? Cuz when i play osther i allways try to make mgs and this sdkfz as fast as possible and then i can easy push enemies to base controlling all map

[@bufaloguerreiro7573]

Not its an strategic choice for agressive early game dominance, since any fuel use put you further into reaching late game tanks if you gonna rely on them you'd be wise to make them last while preventing the opponents fuel bleeding enemy manpower and VP for fuel isn't worth

[@turtelshoty9149]

@@bufaloguerreiro7573 not really if u do this correctly you still get adventage capturing most cps will make serious diffrence and repair your fuel when enemy will struggle at fighting with your lights i most times and up having tanks faster than enemy do for me its op af

[@Yui_187]

Perfect. I was about to play

[@Anaderious]

Great vid!

[@SimulatorKing7]

Pretty good lookin gane

[@tightropegaming]

4 bursts from a flamethower to kill asquad inside a building.

[@MrPhiliu]

Had no Idea, small flamers could set a house ablaze as well, great to know. I think you should have stated whether the forward base reinforcement costs more than at base like with the half-tracks or not. (EDIT: I was wrong about reinforcement costs...)

[@HelpingHans]

All reinforcement costs are the same where ever you reinforce from.

[@MrPhiliu]

Good to know I was wrong about forward reinforcement, always avoided it as much as I could, I was so certain it would cost more. Turns out, I am actually happy to have embarrassed myself on the internet, 'cause I have learned something.

[@koin88love]

I think it was planned to be more expensive in one of the previous balance patches whcih never went ahead due to resources being diverted to the new AOE game. So not so embarrassing as you think :)

[@kapoozdra498]

Kapooz again！ very useful tips make a video with 1.7 Mod, show all the new things and your opinions to them XD

[@HelpingHans]

Will do!

[@mrhype1616]

Ik it's kinda simple but how do you customize hotkeys and reset camera?

[@HelpingHans]

Mitchell Hoffman hit double backspace to reset camera. Again for hotkeys I just use the setting in the main options of the game no fancy software.

[@mrhype1616]

Thank you

[@samwu1836]

Infiltration units will disagree about the usefulness of #useless buildings and trenches. Super dirty strats, but infiltration commandos can come out of trenches. Basically, get your infantry sections to build one on the corner of the map in enemy territory early in the game and start spawning commandos behind the enemy's lines.

[@CodeB4US10]

Thanks!

[@donovan4340]

Hi Hans, which Russian commander is that?

[@Vaccie]

It is official revamped commander mod "Urban Defense Tactic". Commanders changed there will be in official patch. Note things are going to change based on feedback.

[@donovan4340]

Thanx! That seems like a solid revamp!

[@maxpenny-barrow5837]

The commander had that garrison ability pre-revamp

[@stefantheconqueror8710]

Stone house?

[@Kraflyn]

always unload HMG out of a house as far away from the bloody house as possible: hmg are retarded since drinking schnapps this morning, and so they will start setting bloody mg right where you sent them. if you sent them just outside the burning house surrounded by enemies, that's usually bye-bye for the merry hmg team :D Cheers! o/ :D

[@chummykomi5224]

penal’s charges!！！（best way to clean）

[@seanchen7391]

A little slow to throw and take a long time to explode, pretty expensive too. But unlike normal grenade, they just destroy the whole house. Super satisfying. :)

[@alexadre2142]

cant the russian small at get in the house?

[@Vaccie]

No, it cannot sadly.

[@bobbulat1393]

Its more than 20 sec

[@Yui_187]

also FIRST

[@dustinjones868]

Make a 5 minute version of all your videos so the non noobs wont pull their hair out learning about MG face positions overview.
