As a (former) pro at CoH, who clawed his way to the top 50 of the 1vs1 ladder (with all factions) between 2009-12 i have to say a few things about the performance of both players: To the wehr player, just a few small tips, as you were on the defensive from the get go, due to constant base rape attempts: make sure your vehicles stay out of sticky range and remember to order them to STOP before they fire their gun. The extra accuracy from standing still can be the difference between firing several times and missing or 1 or 2 shotting a rifle squad. The same applies to MP40 volks - chasing after retreating squads with those is pointless. Their terrible accuracy of 45% at close range (when stationary) gets cut in half from them moving and then by half again (down to about 10%) due to the retreat bonus. MP40 volks are best used alongside MGs, where the MG keeps the rifles in place and volks can move in close to fire at the suppressed infantry. Oh and... try to avoid giving orders manually to your MGs. They really dont like to switch targets and can sometimes pack up in protest to your order, which can royally screw you over in some instances (as it did near that bunker/high fuel). To the ami player... oh boy... the base rape was impressive but youve wasted resources upon the second and later attempts. You were so far ahead that you could basically camp every building next to a VP and win, while at the same time spamming HVAP shermans to (potentially) finish the base rape (the HVAP upgrade would also make your pershing stronger, so a win-win). Instead you were pushed back (for reason i will state later) and couldnt take back the lost territory and resources. Theres a reason why ami players should be aggressive but they should be aggressive in moderation. Securing your hold on the map should be your first priority after the failed base rape. That means mines everywhere, some AT guns and light vehicles to support small scale skirmishes from then on. You mustve seen that wehr went terror when their squads health bumps up when theres 2 men left in a squad. Their unwillingness to vet up should be an indication that theyre going t4. You werent ready and youve paid the price. And one last thing - snipers. Was it really necessary to spam them? One vet 3 sniper is enough. More rifles (by 1, up to 5 total, after SY upgrade 2) or a mortar would have made much more of an impact than several snipers. Finally... losing vetted rifles is unacceptable.

In the good old days I used to be a good player of Coh1, now I'm rusty af but I'm trying to get in shape. I would like to play with you. Considering that we are both out of training, we could have a quiet 1vs1 or 2vs2, with no big demands.

COH1 what a masterpiece: such love that has been put into the game.

watching this reminds me how incredibly good COH1 was, from the sexy tactical map, to the resource system, to the character and feel of the game itself, well done AE

@@TactDB I wouldn't say it is "sad imitation", they had a lot potential from start, then they nerfed the game so it would appeal to more casual rts players, like they deleted snow and mud effects, they deleted Snowstorm effects, they deleted bonfires to warm your troops. But they made a lot of uprades that I like more than in Coh1, like snipers invisible only in cover, you can see your units up in screen corner, so you can manage your army better, they added revers button for vehicles and "target vehicle" button so your tanks and AT guns wont shoot infantry, they added hopping over fences, they added real time view, so you can hide your units behind corner, add more tactical solutions etc. I love the atmosphere of Coh1 better, Sound effects and dialogue are better,the AI of squads seemed more realistic how they reacted to mortar/arty fires, how they seeked cover when exchanging shot with another squad(In coh2 units just stand still in a group), I liked 3 commander option for every army,not like coh2 where you have 20 samelike commanders. I wouldn't say that Coh1>Coh2, since at the moment I am writing this comment, 940 plays coh 1, 4500 plays coh2 on Steam. But Coh 3 is a focking sad imitation of Coh2.

definitely a true analysis. I think he sort of threw after his VERY close base-invasion barely failed. I lost a tournament game doing this exact strategy once and I know how it feels once the invasion costs you. It drains a lot of "chi" from the commander! The reversal the Pershing caused was exciting though!

CoH1 is a total masterpiece. The artwork style and direction + the vibrant color palette makes all the difference for me.

wow, what a game...quality of the map is more realistic than coh2! vehicle die animation even more realistic a little bit. 14:15 OMG...this is very very realistic and never happening in coh2. 16:11 vehicle control...need some work... I think coh2 vehicle is heavier. 38:23 AT missile launcher😂. and wow I fall in love with those bikes😍😂.

Nice cast! And very nice commentry, really enjoyed watching! Brings back so many memories:)

The bounce animations look so great, I still can't believe how they messed it up in COH2 (not even in it). Nice throw btw :-)
