If your opponent has AA, call the recon plane on the edges of the map so its flight path would be partially outside of the map boundary. Units can't fire on it when its outside the map boundary, and even AA units might end up just endlessly turning their turret on it, because when it leaves the map the AA unit will reset its barrel position back to normal. So just call it on your enemies's side on the map edge, where the huge sight of the P47 means it can still see a lot of the enemy.
It wasn't mentioned in the video, but the Major is actually a really good M1919 carrier. He usually won't usually drop it unless the squad gets wiped, and it turns him into a legitimate damage threat while keeping him at a safe range. While you are indeed paying a premium for the 1919 compared to the LMG42, the ability to field 6-7 in your army is a huge upside, and gives USF a massive boost to its long range firepower. I'm glad you noted the effectiveness of the M1919 + Bazooka pairing in big teamgames. Its not something you should do every game to be sure, but it does have its place on occasion.
Thanks Tightrope! I play a lot of USF but struggle to maximize their commanders and get stuck using the same few. This is really helpful. Thanks for all your hard work!
Your editing is so clean, love the sound effects and transitions, it's the small efforts like this that often are left unappreciated. Keep up the great stuff tightrope.
I can only imagine how many hours a video like this takes to make. Keep it up TR, you're the best creator this game has ever had as far as i'm concerned!!!
I think USF are the best late game because they never peak, they are extremely versatile and I think this is the faction with the most variables. Only you as the player playing USF are the deciding factor.
Hi TR, this was absolutely fantastic. Tac support is my absolute goto in teamgames unless the faction setup requires priest. Sometimes I like to build the AA flak rather than the quad to be able to fend off a luchs/222. m1919 save you weapon rack, and as you said you get away with AT guns easier in teamgames. Keep up the good work and much love from Europe!! :)
Love these guides of yours. I've been curious about the kv-2 build with soviet industry you did the other day. Do you think it's a worthy off meta build for a guide or too meh to put effort into it?
I don't play USF in 1v1 as I find the officer tech System to be flawed and the lack of mines kills me but this video makes me want to try. good Job Tightrope.
I comment here because it's the USF video, I don't know about old patches about the captain or how he was before but his production speed ability is impressive and it's incredible that they don't take advantage of it, I don't see any tutorial that talks about it even though the game is 9 years old!
My favorite thing about the anti aircraft half track is when an enemy is detected and the driver decides on his own to point the front of the vehicle towards them, leaving the vehicle defenseless
Flak halftrack is higher risk but also has much greater rewards than a stuart. Damage and Kill potential is double or triple that of a stuart and it has suppression, it might be worth learning to master it
Does the Rear Echelon Supress every infantry unit in the same time? Or does it need longer, for example on a PGren cause they have Armour Plates which makes Suppression less effective on them.
As far as I know, suppression depends on the received accuracy of the unit you are shooting at. Mainline infantry units generally get decent reductions in received accuracy with veterancy, making vetted up infantry squads harder to suppress. As for Pgrens, they also get a received accuracy bonus when near Axis vehicles, so if they attack combines arms style, it might be harder to supress them as well.
No sorry this took me about 5 weeks to make so I don't have time to spend on that before COH3 release, especially when there is so much overlap with this guide already.
Great guide but I wouldn't call it "off meta" since you start with a pretty standard build order. Although due to the nature of USF's tech structure you cant really deviate from it much.
Fantastic editing and format bro, you've really came a long way, looking really professional. I hope your channel takes off like a rocket with the release of coh3, bec you definitely deserve a slice of the coh popularity pie, even if it seems a bit small at the moment. I would say you're perfectly inline to rake in from the popularity of coh3.
All class mate. Love the production quality, no fluff, full of evidence based content.
Well said, totally agree.

I never thought I'd be learning new things about COH2 in 2022. Great video!

I've been rocking tactical support since that one FPV you did a month ago or so. It's great.
Bought it cause of him as well so I'm trying to learn it
i have no idea why, but hearing your voice just makes feel soothed.
Exactly. He should start a business reading audiobooks or something. He would make a fortune!

Great video as always! Very informative, well-presented, and easy to follow.
I can only imagine how many hours a video like this takes to make. Keep it up TR, you're the best creator this game has ever had as far as i'm concerned!!!
This guide increases your IQ by 10.
Very exciting, it makes you want to try USF and see if they have a better chance late game.

I've been doing Tactical support for a while, got a lot of good pointers in this guide! Excellent video, as usual!
thanks for the upload and all the work tightrope!

Thanks. Yeah it plays a bit more similarly to other factions so it is a good onramp to start USF.
Class work ... you still the best
I really like this kind of videos. Pls make more for the others factions.

Awesome，great video.
thank you very much! please more of this stuff =)
Very well explaining good job
This is just the video I needed
thanks for the vid
Great video, another strategy to try out in 1v1s. I'm getting sick of missing either the MG/AT gun from compositions (w/o using airborne of course).
My favorite thing about the anti aircraft half track is when an enemy is detected and the driver decides on his own to point the front of the vehicle towards them, leaving the vehicle defenseless
Fantastic video
Good stuff tightrope
soldiers at 11:18: Helicopter Helicopter XD
wow thank you so much!!
Insane video, one for okw would make the perfect opposite faction
Flak halftrack is higher risk but also has much greater rewards than a stuart. Damage and Kill potential is double or triple that of a stuart and it has suppression, it might be worth learning to master it
true but once enemy knows its there. they usually come back prepared with AT and HT is not that fast to change spot and go else where undefended.
17 Seconds to 4 men Sections.
Volks and Rifles got 90 seconds/men buildtime(max : 8 men) but Tommies got 68 Seconds/men Buildtime(Max : 8 men)
the Major sight increase has somehow eluded me despite playing for so long
It got added in one of the last couple patches.
a true pillar of the community
Hi I’m ranked 14 in 2’s but struggle in 1’s a lot as OKW. Could you please do a video about builds and strategy as OKW in 1’s?
Lol, that rambo scene
I'm glad you liked it. No joke I think you are the first person to comment about it.

Can you do one of these for infantry doctrine or urban assault doctrine
No sorry this took me about 5 weeks to make so I don't have time to spend on that before COH3 release, especially when there is so much overlap with this guide already.
Will you post some games with you using this strategy?
You can just search FPV and tactical support on my channel you will find a few games. Also can check out those world championships games.
@@tightropegaming thanks mate!
@@tightropegaming those championship games on your channel?
where do you open a Health table? I want to know in 2:01
what's the verdict on scotts vs the calliope?
How to counter map hackers? Sometimes it's so obvious they are using it, a thing u can verify on reply.
Great guide but I wouldn't call it "off meta" since you start with a pretty standard build order. Although due to the nature of USF's tech structure you cant really deviate from it much.
wow that's awesome video! i don't have this commander tho
It's sad to see you share this strat D'x
At least I can say I ran it before it was cool B)
Oddly, the video won't load for me.
Just destroyed my friend twice with this.
Easy win. Thanks
I just wanna beat the expert A.I poor me 😢
Tactical Support.. Airborne.. do you even need a third commander?
you want to learn coh? go to the bald guy channel

that's assuming coh3 is any good... :(
