How well does the Eastern Front mod work these days? Is it still plagued by constant desyncs?

edit: VVVV I see. What is wrong with it that no one is playing it?

Dont play CoH until the patch.

So i'm not sure how to handle a Stuart as PE in 2v2s. ATHTs don't last against riflemen, schreck Pgrens are easily suppressed and have a hard time catching it unless you get the jump on it (nevermind being vulnerable to that shotgun shell Stuarts have), and AT grenades are rubbish against anything not immobilized until the patch hits. Marders are no good unless paired up.

The only thing I can think of is putting shreck Pgrens into IHTs or just telling my Wehr partner to be ready for it. Putting mines everywhere would probably work too.

You should be rolling Hetzers vs brits right after an early AC. Just don't let anything be buttoned like a retard.

Regarding the ATHT threadbreaker. As Beans already pointed out, defensive operations upgrade at your HQ also instantly removes the cooldown on the threadbreaker. Just shift-click to your base and back to the front.

You're throwing your rifle blob into the front of an HMG, until proven otherwise.

How the gently caress did CoH:O cost 10M bux? I guess chinese hookers don't come so cheap anymore.

edit: vvv Still, no way that's only development cost.

Seriously, strafe has been nerfed and needs another buff vs PE infantry.

Quotin' dis.

Seriously though, go wash your face with sulphuric acid for suggesting something like that. Strafe does damage proportional to the number of infantry caught in its area, a 4+ PG blob gets instantly raped.

In hindsight I should probably have moved my HQ truck way back once I saw the wher player was turtling and nebeling. Losing your tommy blob and 2 lt in one nebel strike is pretty much gg.

What's the pro way of playing PE these days.

Besides not playing them, that is.

Brit blobs are dealt with with 2 or more ACs micro'd to perfection. Get in button range, you die. Get flanked you die. Step on a mine, you die.

I had some success last night by having a flakvierling to retreat my ACs to though.

I consistently lose 2v2 and 3v3 team games as PE. There is little I can seem to do to dent a halfway competent US player.

Get a mortar to deal with his rifle blobs? He has a fast m8 or T17 coming out at the same time where you only have shrecks if you saw it coming.

Mines ... everywhere. And PE has to spend fuel on a god awful ability to make PG detect mines when standing still, awesome. Ah and get a muni halftrack if you want to set mines yourself.

I don't even see strafes anymore, one mini-nuke coming from the insta-pin bar riflemen will do the trick.

So what do you do against a half-way decent player?
1. don't play PE
2. ???
