Patched 1.31: The kettenkrad communication cables upgrade no longer give boosted resources. It gives a capture rate bonus and extra vision around the flag of the point once captured.
A word of advice for newer players: When capturing on the opponent's side, don't fall into the 'capture at all costs' pitfall. Even if you are about to complete the capture, losing a squad or multiple models for it is often not worth the few seconds of ressources denied. Instead, try to neutralize the point (when it goes back to white) and get to the closest and heaviest cover. It'll force your opponent into 2 situations where you'll win a lot more: -Either the opponent will try to capture the point which means his units will have to get closer and often outside of cover where you can deal some good damage. -Or he'll stay behind cover to fight your squad which means he won't be able to capture until your squad retreats which may even force him to send another squad and it denies the ressource even longer than if you capped and retreated.
For the last two weeks I have been looking at loads and loads of videos for improving my gameplay. I can honestly say that yours are amongst the most informative and useful on UA-cam. I have become a bettter player. Both macro and micro. Great bunch of thanks!
You have consistently produced top quality content for coh2 tightrope and I hope coh3 is successful and brings your content the attention it deserves. Keep up the good work.
My first thought was "oh, that will work like an OP and give resources while hes in a circle, thats pretty good". Then I realized what it actually does.
I'm looking forward to the new game economy and the utility vehicle cap bonus I think plays a good part in it. The wait to cap crowd might be getting a rude awakening when opponents rush your major fuel/muni points and take out the ketten helped by the resource deficit you run yourself into at the start. On the other hand, the cool thing about that delayed capping order is you'll see axis wehrmacht rush manpower/vp more often than just both the fuel points on the map.
Real beaut video TR, nice and clear on every point! You're going to have the tutorial/tips market cornered for launch :D Great help to all the newbs! That ketten upgrade is really bizarre, so weird to have something passively effect a point for the whole game from such a simple and early upgrade.
@@tightropegaming After so long of CoH2 faction mechanics being settled it's going to be a wild ride going back to a super actively balanced game! Memories of clown cars and tiger aces all over again.
Thanks, originally I was going to make it a section of a different video but it got too long so I decided to make it stand alone. Easier for people to find it this way as well.
Hey, two questions regarding the attack-move command (Default Key: Q): 1. Can this be used to swap targets? So if two enemy units are in range of my unit, does using attack-move on/near one of them have my squad prioritize them? If yes: Does this also hold true for MGs, Mortars and PAKs? 2. Does a unit "chase" after a unit they have engaged when I used attack-move? In case I simply right-clicked an enemy; if that enemy retreats, my unit will chase them down, which is not desireable. Will attack-move keep my unit glued to their spot until further commands (which would be desireable)? This is especially important to prevent MGs from packing up.
The beta was ridiculous. I don't know if they've updated it, but you could combine the Ketten upgrade with an obs point and a scout car if I remember right and go from +5 fuel on one point to like +20.
Is there a difference between capping with all character models standing in the circle vs only one model? This way you could get even closer to the next point to cap
I still can't over how similar it looks to previous games. I don't know what i expected but this looks like basically an interface mod. Granted, previous games already looked great so it's not a problem anyway.
@@tightropegaming Ok ok, was thinking creaters would get the game a day before us or something. But I was having the idea I slept over some update or something.
Right ... new game ... we need to break out the day1 CoH2 tutorials again ... :DDDDD The literally single only thing here that is new is the information-bit about exact cap-speeds and the Kettenkrad-upgrade
@@tightropegaming capture time/capture rate 0:20. What i missing in coh 3 is actual stats about unit like reload time/capture rate etc.. We probably need have some 3th party webside again

Wow! Extremely informative and well-structured video. Thanks, Tightrope
A new era of Tightrope vids has begun! Thanks!

That kettenkrad upgrade feels impossible to balance
They will remove it eventually lol
It dies before you can even get the upgrade lmao
Broken AF.
Yeah it isn't very well thought out.
My first thought was "oh, that will work like an OP and give resources while hes in a circle, thats pretty good". Then I realized what it actually does.
Tightrope always delivers. Awesome tips for beginners! I've been using this tips for weeks now.
nice, please continue doing videos like this for COH3 👍
Thanks for the tips! I loved how no-nonsense & genuinely informative they were. I look forward to future videos!
Patched: The Kettenkrad communication cables upgrade had a 10 munition cost increase so you can no longer upgrade it immediately
Yes, thats so sad. Yesterday i wasnt aware of that change. Lose the whole game within minutes cause my early routine was ruined^^'
the tutorial lord has returned
Well, that is exactly what I was hoping for / great analytic vid, from the best coh caster! Thumps up! Greets, Smartie
Perfect start for the Guide Emperor, looking forward to more
Looking forward to this next iteration of coh3 vids. Cheers bud.

USF has the same upgrade as a vet 1 ability for the weasel.
really good tips, your videos are a great help!
I was thinking "no way you can make a whole video on capturing"
I was proven wrong. good vid

looking forward to your content for coh3 :)
Subscribed . I'm gonna a be streaming this game and these tips were really helpful
I love this feeling of a completely new game, despite being, essentially, the same game for almost 20 years
Agreed
Great stuff tightrope !! :)
Great video!
I only play singleplayer and yet this were actually useful for the campaign..
great video, really high quality.
Great way to start the release!
Awesome tips. Love your content.
Oh this is cool, thanks!

Excellent as always!
Ketten upgrade seems OP already haha. I hope the Ket can't spot mines while moving again either, that seemed pretty ridiculous in CoH1

Great tutorial, out of curiosity, is this footage from the Tech Test or the launch build?
Wait to dak motorcicle does not cap faster? but is it a recon unit. good to know
Nice buff to kettenkrad, fuck building caches
I still can't over how similar it looks to previous games. I don't know what i expected but this looks like basically an interface mod. Granted, previous games already looked great so it's not a problem anyway.
I hope you cast COH3 games.
Wait tight u got the game 2 days early or how did you get in. Steam says i am able to get in on the 24th.
I have had the game for a few days and I was allowed to release content for it about 32 hours before the official release

Hi Tightrope! where did you get the stats of units? :)
what stats?
@@tightropegaming capture time/capture rate 0:20. What i missing in coh 3 is actual stats about unit like reload time/capture rate etc.. We probably need have some 3th party webside again
@@ProstenalChannel- He timed them in-game
How's the campaign? Is it fun and replayable?
I haven't played it
literrarly 0.75 speed was more comprehenisble
Tightrope the amazing
lmao and this game is 60$
