Hey everyone! just wanna give you guys a quick tip that Hans forgot to mention. when using the Saxton-Artillery barrage ability its CD rate is quite long but you can call the Saxton-Artillery to fire once more by using the Valentine Tank ability. By doing this you will be allowed to rain down artillery for much longer duration. so once again first use the Saxton-Artillery ability from the unit itself, then use the Valentine's artillery ability to extend the time period a little longer for a barrage. I really enjoy playing the Brits a lot and they are so OP with artillery. You're welcome.
Although the valentine arty call in does activate the sextons barrage cool down the sexton can do it’s regular barrage and still immediately fire on the valentine call in, effectively giving you two barrages.
Hans i started playing coh 2 few days ago and was looking for some tips on YT and since i came across of your video once i started watching every fucking video 😂 love it man.
Good show! Interesting and informative viewing, as always. Perhaps anyone with English as second language might want to reduce the play speed when Hans is talking 'ten to the dozen'!
Quick question, if you use the sextons to fire first and then use the Valentine coordinated sexton barrage do their barrage abilities recharge instantly like the ostheer arty officer on Werfers?
In the next patch the Valentine barrage and the Sexton barrage will have their own cooldown "Valentine Supercharge barrage no longer shares a cooldown with the regular barrage. Valentine Coordinated Barrage from 35 to 60"
@@mattdimuzio9710 God I have been waiting for so long for this to happen. Makes Sextons from shitty to pretty lit ! Hope so anyways. Will moss def try it.
The fact pak 43 shells ALL Ignore cover like the Jagdtiger ability makes them the best static AT guns as you can hide them deep in a city and nuke tanks who have no clue where the shot came from
OKW fortifications is the late game doctrine. (it can't drop fallshimjaegers near AT gun/mortar that is destroying your defences), you need many ammo to plant mines (but it's impossible to have many ammo from the start), enemies can destroy you till 8 CP abilities will unlock (and even after that you need someone with recon). I think that noobs like me need something earlier (how to use 221 or Opel Blitz; grenades from special operations and grenades from doctrine with Ostwind). Maybe you play mass regimes only, so thank to caches, recon from your teammates you can realise abilities of that doctrine, but it's not mean that this is useful doctrine.
Иван Коваль they are very much the game but at 3cp volks can build mg42 bunkers and those cost 150 manpower and 60 muni to build and add a mg too. You can also garrison your racketen in them, any infantry will find it hard to walk around these as you can put them EVERYWHERE and will force the enemy to waste resources on indirect weapons you can prepare something to assault said weapons I’ll usually turtle on a point with fortifications, I will SPAM as many bunkers in every avenue of approach possible, they don’t contribute to my pop cap so I can make as many as I want, I can you a couple of racketen to protect them until I get the 88s. Which admittedly while they come late game. They also can hit your own fortifications and buildings so it’s best to build bunkers directly behind and to the sides of them so if infantry try to push into your expensive and very easily damaged guns they will be suppressed/pinned quickly, usually build them near your medic HQ too if you lose a model you can replenish them if it’s near enough to the HQ this makes it harder for the enemy to wipe veterancy off the gun and if you drop medical bags with your sturms and heal and injured squad with those bags near the gun it’s models will also be healed. A vet 5 pak 43 is the scariest thing in the game. I was fighting soviets and Americans on ettlebruck station and the Soviets decided to spam meat choppers and su-76s and regular halftracks to reinforce and were pressing on the main road between the mid point and the “market” point and I managed to build a pak43 behind the building on our side and EVERY vehicle there got wiped because they can’t hide around corners. If there is no fog or I get a good fire ground you WILL hit them. And those halftracks get oneshotted by the pak 43. They have not a chance in hell.
StayFrosty -ReckerPlays not only is it “like the Jagdtiger” it’s better since it’s not an ability, it’s passive EVERY shot penetrates hard cover just like the ability on the jag does. So it never runs out, doesn’t cost extra, and the thing gets AMAZING vet bonuses. You hide that thing in a clever spot it’s going to piss off better players since they have to get LOS to do anything to it or they have to spam mortars/indirect and while they MIGHT kill your gun if you happen to have a lefh built and on counter battery it will automatically fire on anything in range that’s indirect fires at anyone so if you aren’t being bothered but your buddy is getting mortar spammed your lefh will start barraging directly on those mortars in the FOW, no more needing to find them yourself
Also the sextons will fire if they have cd on their ability. So you can let them bombarda a hq for example, and while they are shooting push with Valentine use his ability so the sextons can shoot again. Ignoring their cd
Very lucid and instructive video Hans. With latest changes tough Wer Zookas were not nerfed... I have serious problems how to stop those bloobs... Any quick hint on that?
Whats the diffrence between the abilitie for 100 and the sections artillery flare ability for 45 ammunition? Are you getting more shells out of it or something? For me the sections abilitie seems like a cheaper variant. You getting the air burst shells without tec the Amboss headquarter upgrade which seems good if you wanna go for comets but i think only in 1v1 since in team games youre wanna getting sextons out... sure the abilitie is good if you cant reach a target with your sections but if you can section abiltie seems to be allways better if you got that commander. Only if like the barrage abilitie fires more shells out but i dont know.
@@HelpingHans my dude, it could have taken you all of a second to tell him rather than responding with a sassy reply. If he isn't a native english speaker it is gonna be more difficult. Vinh, he said 2x Infantry Section, 1x MG, 1x Bren Carrier (upgraded with MG -- flamers if the map is close range) -- Upgrade base, get 5th man for squads, Engineers --> Armored Car + Valentine.
Guardbuddy Not a sassy reply. If I speak too fast that’s not my fault. UA-cam has the option of reducing the speed of a video for a reason. I’m not about to speak slower and make my videos twice as long.
@@HelpingHans That's fair. I misinterpreted your intent -- without tone of voice it came across as a snarky comment to me. Anyway, just wanted to give an honest reply. That said, I do appreciate your videos and gameplay -- it really has helped me develop better micro skills.
Considering that other videos may also talk objectively "fast", it is good to learn that YT videos may be slowed down. Many times I also increase the speed :)
Recent nerfs have left the Brit faction less competitive and so is rarely if ever seen in top level 1v1. However the forthcoming patch is supposed to redress this, at least to some extent.
@@danbilzerian2052 tommies that oblitirate every single OKW infantry at any range. Even i cant get the sturm pio up close. Bec as soon as they are seen. Even if they flank. They get concentrated fire upon
valentines used to able to see where the enemy is just like the OKW but now they find that over powered, yet its not over powered on OKW. Loving the COH2 game makers, fcking twats. you cant hit the bases with british but everyone else can hit it. Like wermach and okw, talking about howitzer arty. the friendly territory artillery! what a twat invention , absolutely useless even top COH2 gamers not using it %85 of the time. i dont understand why there is so much hate for this function, it is a difficult function to play with, need alot of man power and brain power, you cant just blob with Brits

Feels like this commander is really good counter against any OKW
14:55 was actually kinda funny when he just mentioned that the artillery will stop firing but an extra shell landed
"Uh... Sorry guys! I'm late."

Hans do OKW Fortifications Doctrine! They are amongst the best of the OKW with those Pak 43s and bunkers that cost no pop cap!
The fact pak 43 shells ALL Ignore cover like the Jagdtiger ability makes them the best static AT guns as you can hide them deep in a city and nuke tanks who have no clue where the shot came from
I didnot know the pak43 do that. I just hated it. And always wanted to put it along main roads. I didnot know it is like the jagditiger. Oof

You can get airburst if you unloc anvil tactik. 🙂
Thnx agains Hans 🤩🤩🤩

Commander provides sextons, recommended build order doesn't include a single one
Seems bit off
Very lucid and instructive video Hans. With latest changes tough Wer Zookas were not nerfed... I have serious problems how to stop those bloobs... Any quick hint on that?
Matija Remec Vs blobs: arty, mgs, good tank kiting

It actually fires half the shells, 3 instead of the 6 sections arty does
@@celtoucan4956 Oh so you pay more for less bang? cool. That kinda balance out the no-los-needed thing on the ability arty
defensive doctrine next pls
I think If you go anvil tactics you also get airburst with your coordianted barrage
Yes you do.
Yeah, thanks!
No Sexton in the recommended build, says a lot I guess
So there is no sextons in your prefered unit selection in the end?
The main army is just the infantry. The rest you can could be swapped easily for your needs

they take longer to build and tech up but they are more powerful late game with great tanks and strong defensive emplacements.
