I was playing Company Of heroes online just now and, lost 1 won 1, and then, this is the stupid part. Me and this other guy were teamed up against these other guys on the lyon level. Ok, now the game starteed out pretty even with both sides taking there own sides of the river, now we pushed over the river and starting attacking (one player had massive amounts of arty and the other went with infantry/tanks) now we lost out there and were actually pushed all the way back across the river and almost got completely destroyed in the process, I was at one stage down to one panzergren, no hq, which my panzergren was rebuilding and one barracks. Now somehow me and my mate (him being not better off then I was) managed to push the americans back across the river a again and a big battle insued and we slowly and I mean very slowly started taking back ground, in a forward and then back montion. Finally we managed to overcome one of them and destroyed all but a few of one his infanty squads, who he had hiding iin the other guys base.
Now we completely surrounded the last guy, me with my 95 fallshirmjaeger and tank buster units(expain later) and my team mate with a load of tanks, then the inital assualt came. We started to crush him and just before he lost, he kicked us out of the game, I couldn't help but laugh, what can you do. The annoying thing is that we fought so hard to get where we were, to tell the truth 4hrs long, yes I sat here playing against this guy for 4hrs just to be kicked at the end.
We had him too.
I think I annoyed him in the end, becuase all through the game, my tactic was to drop fallshirmjaegers into unoccupied buildings in his territory and just shoot up vehicles and infantry squads just to pull them away from the bridges which in the end worked. At the beginning, seeing that this tactic was working I continued to use it for the last 3 hrs og the game on these guys, making them run backwards and forwards chasing my men. It got so bad for him I noticed that he had a least 4 infantry squads and 4 tanks patrolling his rear just watching for my move.
A hint when playing, Fallshirjaegers are the best. One squad of 4 men 2 with rifles, 1 with a panzershrek, and the other with an FG were able to beat of 3 squads of anmerican GI's from a crater.
Its true.
Also they are very effective agaisnt tanks with the panzerfausts, pluse they have the ability to camofluge into the debris, I love them now, I will use that tactic all the time, even if it takes for ages.
Anyway I am just annoyed at how well we ended up doing considering we were certain we would lose, at the beginning I realised I had chosen the wrong german formation the mechanized infantry one instead od the wehrmacht one, which I consider to be my best side. Now it was probably a good I did chose wrong.
