Hey folks,

Just discovered this mod. I'm pretty new to CoH in general as well, so I don't know this much yet.

I can't decide on which doctrine to choose... Which is the best one? My playstyle in games is usually beeing a supporter and defending stuff.

You should go Allied Infantry. sicne we dont have many allies. and welcome to the mod

[lionel23]

Do you like tanks and vehicles or are you more infantry/support weapons?

For allies I would highly recommend US Infantry if you like infantry, and they have the addition of a heavily armored Sherman tank to 'support' your own men and teammates.  Otherwise US Armor is good with the fast rolling Pershings, Calliopes and various Sherman/Croc buffs.

For axis, I personally find I like Blitz as it gives you the toughest infantry in the game (also stormtroopers) due to elite armor, and their buffs to axis armor in general OR the good ol' Tiger tank.  For PE I would recommend Luft as they have a good many options to deal with heavy infantry via riflenades and FG42s, though they will be heavily anti-inf focused.  My suggestions anyway.

I'm more into infantry, don't really like tanks

I like infantry, who can fortify stuff and then camp in it xD That's why I chose Wehrmacht Defence Doctrine for now. They got 88s... Damn I love 88s

As a my start batallion I got the following:

1x Pios
2x Grens with double MG42
2x AT Gun
1x Mortar
1x HMG

Is that OK? I think it should be able to counter Tanks as well as Infantry...

Its a good core, just looks like a lot of hassle to manage and very expensive.

[LeoPhone]

yeah you might want to get something easier to micro in your core like a stug or some panzerfaust volks. I can already see the light vehicles rushing trough your two still moving paks...

[Malgoroth]

Yeah, you'll need more mobile AT assets than 2 ATGs. One is fine, but you'll want at the very least a shreck squad as well.

Even then, always be on the lookout for gimmicks and dirty tricks. IE a double sherman start or a LV heavy start. A single Pak and shreck might not fair so well in that case.

yea the biggest issue with EiR is Gimmick and spam. Ruins it a little, but the games you do get without gimmick and spam are fun

fixed.

[Smokaz]

The big problem is that no matter how hard you beat someone its always your units and your spam almost never the admittance that you did in fact control your units better.

"I wont play you because you have 2 pershings" etc

Well shombaladom doopeti doop? I paid 3 unlock points which I could have spent on other stuff, and I'm going to to use a single pershing?

Yeah right, because thats what people get with FSJ/AB/T17/Churchill Crocodile. A single unit of them. Derp.

[Malgoroth]

2 Pershings is all well and good. Expensive and pay off hugely if used well. Even a handful of crocs is fair game, even though, at times, they're indistinguishable from the hand of God dispensing fiery wrath upon Sodom and Gomorrah. It's the smaller things... namely ToV units that gay the game up to an obnoxious degree.

Not even AB or Rangers or FSJs compare to the amount of faggotry wrought by spammed and half assedly micro'd Stags and T-17s. (yes, I am on a crusade to have them removed completely and the people who use them burned at the stake)
