How to Open as the Wehrmacht - Company of Heroes 2 Faction Guide

[@andygee2254]

"The MG42 is the most stolen item in the game" I felt that as a wehrmacht player. Ally or foe.

[@Ovolukzzz]

HAHAHAHA I feel you buddy, thankyou for your MG🫡 (I’m an OKW main)

[@BryanAM7]

Lol its funny cause is true

[@hekkura]

Wehr armor : StuG 3G : very Good against tanks, crap against infantry Ostwind : very good against infantry, bad against tanks Panther : tanky, good against tanks, crap against infantry Brummbar : excellent against infantry, crap against tanks Panzer 4 : Good against all targets

[@demolition4654]

True, they kinda skipped Panzer IV

[@swamplife3148]

But only when stationary

[@jabloko992]

Tiger...

[@Argentoratum68]

Soviet players when they see a MG42 on the ground : "Ivan grab the big gun"

[@taytertot9382]

This is a good guide. You may want to make it clear that some of these are for bigger games. Getting an early mortar in a 1v1 is likely to get your frontline infantry overrun.

[@rockmcdwayne1710]

MG-42 is pretty good at pinning the infantry though. In theory, if one can micro manage it good enough, its gonna be very difficult to rush that position with infantry alone.

[@rainbowstarunicornprincess4391]

Clearly you havent heard of the lesser known 4 mgs into shrek pgren strat

[@m1garandMUSIC]

lmao bro it's amazing how well it works when the enemy strat is to turtle up for tanks

[@redplains7972]

I used pgren with the German infantry doctrine, and it was interesting. Flanking from Sturmtruupen, massive amount of infantry. Thanks for showing me the opening

[@akooma3694]

Can we get a video like this on every faction?

[@TylerJ954]

That is the goal! Hoping to do the Soviets next.

[@aleksaradojicic8114]

Sniper build is strong into UKF. Only difference whit me is that I first go for grenadier then for sniper and try to pair those two always as they complement each nicely.

[@moaydalshaqri7930]

So it works ??!

[@aleksaradojicic8114]

@@moaydalshaqri7930 Yep. Sniper gives you ability to have good trades whit Brits. Did not played it much into USF, but considering they do not have sniper, it should also work.

[@ultravioletsus]

@@aleksaradojicic8114 ukf can countersnipe though.

[@chitipatutrapiromsook9447]

Update cmd tier list pls. Many have change a short video on recommend for buy would be nice^^ great content.

[@TylerJ954]

After I go through the How to Open every faction, we will be redoing ALL Tier lists based on the current meta.

[@Szakterix]

thx for the help guys :) I think an Officer (Luftwaffe or Artillery) could help to the sniper as well - maybe after the 222, or 222 then Pak40 then an Officer. Also, doctrines with recon plane (or with Spotting scope upgrade) are better sniper starters i guess (Joint Operations has both Recon plane and Officer, or Jaeger Armor has Recon plane and Spotting scope). Or just build double 222s XD

[@danberan02]

Awesome, swift video, great formate, thanks for all the advice

[@Speedblazin]

This video has helped me soo much! Thank you

[@sherlocksinha2435]

I do go a different variations of the sniper opener by going double gren , teaching up and then getting either 222 first or mg first depending on who I'm up against. The reason I open like this is because 2 grens is better as an anti vehicle screen and I'm not usually worried about allied infantry early game so this trade off works for me . If you open with a okw on your flank you have to get a MG to hold the front . On the other hand if it's double OST one guy can do a Pgren stall with double mg while you can support him quite well with a T1 sniper,gren and Mortar build.

[@volimcvarke8437]

Thank you for the vids great job, also one of the cleanest intros ever love it

[@Mark-xh8md]

I've been eying CoH for a bit, but can't really figure out if it's just a historical simulator which predetermines the actual outcome, or if you can actually change history. Say, win as Germany, or have more success as the Allies and beat the Red Army to Berlin, or have more success as the USSR and drive all the way into France and meet the Allies at Paris instead of Berlin, etc?

[@GreyshotProductions]

CoH2 isn't that. It's an RTS with a set scripted singleplayer campaign.

[@Mark-xh8md]

@@GreyshotProductions - Ah, okay. So no matter what you do, it always ends up the same way it did historically?

[@blitzzgaming5183]

@@Mark-xh8md people get coh2 for the multiplayer

[@DrTarte]

I can hardly hear greyshot, and your friend burst my eardrums 😂

[@draftchizy7733]

Love this video, really helped, thank you

[@GreyshotProductions]

Glad it helped!

[@muhdazim5608]

I hust started playing COH2 and COH3 playtest yesterday and having hard time with build and stuff.. can someone explain what does tht mean by build 1-1-1 and as mention like Mg42 and Pioneer stuff..

[@aunghtetmyetkyaw1843]

I see that there is also a stug variant of 3E which acts as a infantry support gun rather than anit-tank role. Is it also good for using as a anti-infantry cheap version of Brummbar?

[@lucasbravo8922]

Yes, stug ausf f is great for 1v1 2v2 because of the límited resources AND smoke shot

[@Wolf_Actual]

Extremely helpful.

[@GreyshotProductions]

Glad to hear!

[@JaHail-oy6vq]

Man only replied to certified females or female pfp, Nice work!@@GreyshotProductions

[@humunug]

This video format.... great idea!! Good job guys but next time better mix sound. Greyshot is low volume and other guy ear rape :D

[@punisher5792]

can you activate the subtitles pls?? is a interesting video

[@messageinthebottle1673]

Not gonna lie as player who enjoy playing supportive, I enjoy playing Ostheer over the OKW. Yes its true that Ostheer is more specialized but in my opinion their better at 3v3 and 4v4 games where they support thier OKW brothers. I love the pioneers squad where by default they basically terra-form the map and turn it to your favor while panzergrenadiers in my opinion are very versatile and scales fantastic in late game where they can push with vehicles. Right now I'm enjoy the joint operations commander and encircle doctrine (also by default i always keep my blitzkrieg commander) definitely the fun faction for me.

[@Cakeman]

I have Johnny, Johnny: HELLO

[@ІванКоваль-й5ж]

I should show respect to Jonny's existence (his analyse of differences between standard Panzer 4 and WM's Panzer 4 J proofed that his opinion is worth to be taken into account). But in general this guide is TOO short.

[@ІванКоваль-й5ж]

I don't know about "mortar opening", so 👍 for information

[@ІванКоваль-й5ж]

HMG+3 grenadiers - popular, but not the best: 4 LMG grenadiers is even stronger, especially with abusing strikes from camouflage. But this "perfect" build has 2 serious problems: -early soviet Sniper (fourth squad of grenadiers will disable early 222 to counter sniper); - HIGH requirement for your micro (person whose build I am speaking about is 18 rank for every faction (top 42 or so)). If your micro isn't as good, it's better not to try it (you will have manpower looses, but didn't get resources superiority/VP superiority in exchange).

[@ІванКоваль-й5ж]

Double MG double pioneers - also great (I saw as it ANNIHILATED conscripts opening in 1 vs 1). The problems: HIGH micro requirements (at the level, similar to 4 grenadiers opening). If your enemy isn't just idling - your pioneers should not just capture, but also provide recon for HMG's, and try to deal as much as possible damage to supressed squads (so, enemy would be forced to retreat). Another "requirement is open map (winter crossroad is great for it). P.S. according to what I heart, this is "jaeger infantry strategy" (to compensate lack of Faust by grenadiers).

[@andygee2254]

So there are other ways to start other than assault grens Edit: made it shorter

[@pickledblowfish6178]

Nice video but ughh.. get a better mic Johnny. Audio quality is the most important thing on this platform, snd this balance/spiking is absolute murder on ear users. Seriously helpful stuff, great overview. Glad I found the channel.

[@ReiP95]

if you dont suppres ewery inf squad the enmy has from min1 with t0 mg you are doing it wron if you dont wipe 2 murrican squad with ewery pgren's bundle granade you are doing it wrong (gunning down the 1 or 2 retreating survivor from second squad in close range is accetable) if you dont wipe at leas 2 at gun with ewery p4 you get you are making it wrong (p4 can kill a at gun in close range faster than most inf unit can) I say that if you dont win as wermacht player you are doing it wrong I feel like they are just so good they are wersatile yet they excel at so many things

[@uramnaros2830]

Thanks for vid! Your friend is a bit louder than you, kinda annoying

[@kaponeboss8914]

Ironic to see player talking about wehrmacht who barely even play with wehrmacht lol i said that for 117 not johny
