I can’t believe there are still tips I learn from you Hans after 3,000 hours in this game. Here’s one for your fans. The Obersoldaten “gas” grenade works well after a smoke drop on a vp. The enemy often doesn’t recognize the declining health of his unit due to the regular smoke obscuring the effect of the poison gas grenade. Have fun all!
@@HelpingHans Perhaps it had to do with cheat commands, like no ability cooldown or instant building. I double-checked in a normal game, just to be sure, and you really do need to buy Panzer Authorisation every time :P
I've been playing for so long and never really used the smoke grenades on the Obersoldaten. I learned something new today :D Had never realized it does damage too.
Hi Mr Hans, while i really enjoy the Bootcamp series showing what each unit does and what the abilities do etc. Would it be possible to extend the Bootcamp series to cover gameplay in multiplayer also? Maybe some video analysis of games to show what you should be aiming to do in most games, how you should be doing it and examples of you reacting to threats posed by the enemy team. Pausing the video and maybe annotating on screen things that are going on in your head during the gameplay so its easier for us to get a feel of the mindset that leads to the decisions made in the multiplayer game, for a new player such as myself, that would be really helpful. Thanks again.
Free fire for the Jagdpanzer is essential to be toggled on if you order it to Attack Move. I once did Attack Move command with the Prioritize Vehicle toggled on and it driving just ignored all infantry, and it got pummeled by bazookas from left and right
@@minmean3016 yes, i didn't pay attention back then. I grouped my jagdpanzer with a panzer 4 and ordered Attack Move. the panzer 4 engaged both infantry and armor, but the jagdpanzer just beelined to the attack move point , ignoring infantry. learning from the mistake, i always toggle on 'engage all targets' on the Jagdpanzer when ordering Attack Move
I mean, this video practically shows the abysmal state of OKW's late game. Significantly more expensive tank ends up practically equal with a much cheaper tank, Panzer IV vs infantry might as well be a glorified MG42 carrier with an inconsistent main gun. Players don't pay 380MP and 140 fuel for a sniper main gun. Not when shermans, cromwels and t34 have such good AI.
Is there a way to match up with beginners or less experienced players in online skirmish ? Im constantly getting kicked whenever they see my plain/blank loadout background that it took me almost an hour to actually start a match
Forgot to mention that obers do not have reduced accuracy against retreating units. If you can sneak some obers with stgs onto a retreat path they will obliterate those sad sobs.
hello. So I am kinda new to the game and there is something I have been struggling with. Flak emplacement, a definsive structure built by OKW engineers. I always find RUclipsrs using it but the slot is not even there. any ideas?
@@HelpingHans off map arty needs recon, which is a little tricky (or because they shoot it down or because teammates doesn't have any), but thank you very much for your answer!! I love your content
OKW Hard to play, because they are More exp require but normal they with no star was so useless AND with 5 star they ONLY Just Better, not even great , AND the Exp cost Fking so long " they ALL NEED SUPPPOT ALL THE TIME"

12:25 i love that you did not cut that out of the video
Ah crap. Thought I got rid of all my mistakes >.
@@HelpingHans It's funny though I wouldn't worry about it haha.
Great series Hans. Would like to see an new vid on the state of the commanders for all factions.
Oh yes
Agree, I'm having a hard time choosing my ost and soviet commanders
yes i want some tips on which ostheer comanders are best in 1v1 and team games
Great series Hans, i was playing COH series about 14-15 years but i can still learn something about these series.. TY ;)
3:06 is incorrect. You have to buy Panzer Authorisation each time you set up a new Schwerer Panzer HQ. That's why losing the emplacement is so costly.
Quite possibly made that mistake. When I did it on this game mod I did not have to do that but it could have been slightly out of date. Apologies
@@HelpingHans Perhaps it had to do with cheat commands, like no ability cooldown or instant building. I double-checked in a normal game, just to be sure, and you really do need to buy Panzer Authorisation every time :P
watched OKW boot camp. this is very helpful!
Thanks for doing these videos, great little series!
I've been playing for so long and never really used the smoke grenades on the Obersoldaten. I learned something new today :D Had never realized it does damage too.
nice one sir new subs from! ❤🇵🇭👊😎 i really love the COH games! ❤👊😎🤙👌
43:59 - that smile and eyebrows ahahaha
Sturmtiger is not covered?
Thx hanz

Great job man! Thank you!
Great vids bruh
Fantastic thanks Hans!
Thanks Hans !

maybe u should watch out where u click attack move, and keep it away from infantry blob, only order it to engage when u actually sees enemy armor
@@minmean3016 yes, i didn't pay attention back then. I grouped my jagdpanzer with a panzer 4 and ordered Attack Move. the panzer 4 engaged both infantry and armor, but the jagdpanzer just beelined to the attack move point , ignoring infantry.

@@TheOis1984 u should leave the only vehicle on and separate group order from p4, after all u want jp4 to shoot armor, not infantry.
@@minmean3016 yup, i also often group them with a jagdtiger and no allied armor can survive this combo :)
Finally getting ready to start using these guys to slug it out 0.0 wish me luck

Hey great guides! However do you have any estimates on when second part of "How to Play CoH2: USA BootCamp Part #1 (Company of Heroes 2)" is coming? 😅

Also JP4 with vet has 800 hp compared to su85 which only has 640 hp.
Allied TD has 260 pen. Jadpz has only 180. But because of more hp, fast reload, better accuracy..makes Jadpz becomes a dedicated Medium killer

the vehicles in this game move really fast, i wonder if we gonna get the same movement from coh1 in tje third game
Bundle grenade at the back of a light vehicle. Devastating, definitely not AT but more of a stop gap.
Wouldn’t recommend it. Super easy to avoid.
@@HelpingHans yes definitely only for an ambush or snared.
hello. So I am kinda new to the game and there is something I have been struggling with. Flak emplacement, a definsive structure built by OKW engineers. I always find RUclipsrs using it but the slot is not even there. any ideas?
You forgot to mention that the Command Panther can boost Infantry and Armor
Ah my bad, yeah there’s always something I forget haha 😅.
build orders?
RIP USA part 2, also you didnt cover some commander units.
One question: If Hans doesn't recommend static arty, then what is the answer to enemy arty?
Off-map artillery or rushing enemy artillery with a cheap and fast tank.
@@HelpingHans off map arty needs recon, which is a little tricky (or because they shoot it down or because teammates doesn't have any), but thank you very much for your answer!!
I love your content
Jagdpanzer is almost useless.
Better get lower tier at till you have panther or so then Jagdpanzer.
OKW Hard to play, because they are More exp require but normal they with no star was so useless
AND with 5 star they ONLY Just Better, not even great , AND the Exp cost Fking so long
" they ALL NEED SUPPPOT ALL THE TIME"
Help!! When i play CoH2 i cant play with the strumtiger because it doesn't appear to me. does anyone know why?
You have to buy the Elite Armour Commander.
@@pecelot thanks! 😢
3 penal squads with PTRS >>> KT, PANTHER, PANZER 4.
Nah
Panzer 4 >>> 3 Penals with PTRS
@@garlkurzer actually no. Penal shreds panzer 4 like paper
@@benedictjajo
No, PTRS is a very bad anti tank weapon
@@garlkurzer yes, so just try 3 Ptrs vs 2 panzers
@@benedictjajo
No
