Introduction

Hello there, names Night_Panzerfeuer and no im not German. through the years that Company of Heroes 2 came out and with 1,200 hours on the game, I have experience many different kinds of players despite their play styles and some similarities that they put in their skill to the test through the different selection of the units and reacting to many of the situation that there aware of. Here I will show or rather tell you my perspective of how I each identify different players based on my experiences.

Frontline Player

Frontline Player: The Most Common Player Base in the Competitive field of Company of Heroes 2. These Players will used frontline base/Elite infantry combine with armor support, while also taking most of the Burden and casualties. These players are often good at both defensive and offensive style tactics while also cutting off (Choking) hostile resource points, these players are also often great at spearhead attacks. However their weakness is that they cannot focus on multiple fronts and often that leads to their demise. Exposed to infiltration and flanking.

You mainly want to cooperate with these players if they can hold on their own, but you will have to note their weakness such as state from before with the infiltration and flanking.

However do note this may not be the case since every players who do this have a different focus field of deception.

Support Player

Support Players: These Players are often popular within the Axis Factions, plus the Soviets and British Factions. These players will use emplacement to hold key points of territory such as fuel and checkpoints, while also providing an backup. Most of the time you will see Towed Anti-Tank Guns, Recon units (Such as Jaegers and Pathfinders) and Machine gun emplacement with some base front line infantry. Elite units are rare in some cases and often use Artillery to support offensive tactics. These players also usually support behind/besides the frontline player when in a 4v4 and sometimes 2v2 matches. Drawbacks are usually counter barrage and sudden Rushes.

Cooperating these players are often needed when hassling a heavily defended position or a position that is about to be overrun from the hostile forces.. .

Flankers/Infiltration Players

Flankers/Infiltration: These Players are quite rare and often not seen in Coh2 unless met with a experience player. These players will use Light Vehicles to "poke" their enemies armor, causing a burden to constantly repair and basically becoming a hindrance. Flankers/Infiltration Players can use infiltration units by the commanders they use. Such as infiltration commandos and storm troopers. These players often cut off enemy supply lines and caused a disturbance behind their front line. Drawbacks are that if they suffer heavy casualties, it will take them time to recover and reorganized.

These players are great when cutting off enemy territory or hitting and causing a distraction towards the enemy. Cooperating with them might be best when dealing heavy armor or needing to buy time.

Extra's/Rare Players

Rare:Vehicle/Armor Player: These players are as well sometimes rare in Coh2. Their expertise is Armor Warfare and oftenly at the best at the mid and late stage if the game. They can counter heavy armor and oftenly able to provide support to their allied infantry. The negative side is that the lack of frontline infantry, Anti-Tank Infantry, Anti-Tank Guns and oftenly expensive.

Extra:Infantry User: Oftenly common within Company of Heroes 2 and sometimes group their infantry together to make them more powerful (Blobbing) and will use Specialized infantry such as Fallschirmjäger, Fussilers, Obersoldaten, with small amount of armor. The drawbacks is that there exposed to Artillery (Shell and rocket base) and cost a lot of man power. This player base is often dislike by the community.
