Be aggressive in capturing points and seizing control over key buildings. It will all come to make sense as you gain experience, but if you follow the tips below you’ll have a significant strategic advantage. Your knowledge of unit tactics will prove useful, but the pace of matches will seem frenetic and the unpredictable actions of a human opponent will surprise you. This means a few flanks with a tank or something else that requires attention works.No matter how much you have played the campaign or skirmished against the AI in Company of Heroes 2, your first several multiplayer matches will be a jarring experience.

The commandos are good for this but I do tend to go engineers for the defensive abilities. I find it helps if you can keep poking behind the enemy lines so that they can't focus on pushing.

I should at this point be taking a lot of damage so ill just focus on keeping my line up, keeping the point and just harassing where I can. Once I have an AT, Bofors and Mortar I just use it as a luanching base to harass the enemy and draw them back to the front line for some rapeage.Īt this point ill start saving for a tank, ill either go Cromwell or a Churchill, the Centaur and Firefly are a waste of resources IMO. Once at 3 ill look to place an AT bunker then followed by a Bofors. If they are pushing me and I can fully decide on locations ill set up a mortar emplacement followed by a forwad post, if they are giving me breathing space ill stock up on resources, use my IS groups to slap a few fuel caches down and tech to 3. From there ill get either a group of tommies or the HMG depending on what one I got just before and hten I tech up for hte engies.įrom then on it depends on the enemy. So its typical for me to field the starting unit, then a second group of tommies or a HMG depending on whats available at the chokehold I want. Typically however its a rush to T2 for the engineers (why the hell they made them T2 I don't know). My build as with all factions on different maps changes.
