Company of Heroes: How to REALLY Play the American Faction.

- Hello TH-cam. This is a simple demonstration on how to really play the americans in Company of Heroes. This video shows my usual american build order, and how I usually play on the map Gilroy's Harbor. My basic build order is as follows:
(Before reading, I give each engineer unit a specific title/role. Builder is going to be named engineer unit one, Capture/support is engineer two, and lastly Combat engineer will be considered the third.)
Tier 1:
-First Engineer squad is sent out to capture outer-lying points that are far from the HQ
-Queue two engineer squads, the first one queued will be the support engineer, and the second will be combat.
-As soon as the first engineer from the HQ hits the ground, issue a build of a barracks.
-Once the second engineer is made, send it out to help your teammate, make sure to also barb wire any green covered points such as walls, and also barb wire any flank points.
-Once barracks is built, queue first rifleman squad, and let the engineer that built barracks capture any nearby fuel or munitions points closest to the base. (One point will be fine).
-Once the point is captured, send support engineer to either build mg nest if you suspect an infantry rush, or build a medic station close to the main part of the map. Afterwards, send this engineer squad to assist the combat engineer.
-Once the riflemen are out, queue a jeep, OR another rifleman. I more than likely suggest a jeep 90% of the time. Send first Rifleman squad into battle to support teammate. Make sure to capture enemy fuel along the way, since rifleman are the fastest unit capable of capturing points.
-Once jeep is out, queue another rifleman squad, then follow up with grenades. This should be all you need from the barracks for now.
-After a long period of time, your builder engineers should have finished capturing points. Once this has been done, retreat them to your base, and queue a supply yard build when you have 50 fuel lying around. Also, make sure to place an observation post on fuel afterwards(when possible), by holding shift and queuing an observation post build.
-From here, upgrade all engineer units with flamethrowers, even builder engineer. Afterwards, queue a supply yard build.
-After supply yard has been built, depending on if Whermacht has Tier 2 halftracks, either build AT guns, or build an M8 Armored Car. Make sure to upgrade the armored car with armor skirts and the 50 cal machine gun.
-Send support engineer to build an MG nest on vital fuel points if possible. If not, change its role to a combat engineer, and help support the battle.
-If your opponent has gone Tier 3, research sticky bombs, and build one AT. Afterwards, if possible, queue a tank depot build.
-Once the researches have been done, the Tank Depot should be halfway done.
-Once Tank Depot is built, research the MAC gun for the sherman. When possible, queue one sherman.
-Once Sherman is out, upgrade supply yard, or research BARS. 70% of the time i upgrade the supply yard.
-From here, you should have more than enough to combat the Whermacht. Build what you need to, such as AT guns if he has gone veteran tanks+Tier 4.
Tips:
-The American start may not be easy at times. To prevent struggle, research grenades first, then queue a jeep.
-Place mines on the high valued points, or areas where your opponent will most likely go to. They help a lot!
The American faction isn't a defensive faction. Keep up the fight, and put infantry in buildings for greater results!
-The company I choose is airborne most of the time. The second most chosen by me would be infantry, and armor being last.
I hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for reading/watching!
why i move my mouse when i see COH game replay i a mystery ..
steam update has really made this game difficult even on easy. i never played COH online, didn't care to play this competitively. now the AI is smart as hell, as long as the map doesn't have an allie and a couple bridges it gets rough. every game for me I wind up sending all my troops and vehicles back to base to consolidate and rearm because they're getting out matched in fights. it seems like if I bring a knife to what was a fist fight, they bring a gun instantly. my shit always gets countered because the damn ai micro manages so fast.
I knew was not me, I'm a decent voh2 player (900) but I can't against the coh1 ai, is weird BCS spam píos and send them to everywhere and then spams pumas 😂
I feel bad, all these people could be playing COH and it won’t be dead again, people who don’t know how to play wont understand the game. We need to prevent COH from being extinct
The American faction is built only on rush ... That means if the American player fails to cripple the Wehrmacht player by killing most or all Wehrmacht squads ... Or disconnect of all resources these are the 2 main objectives for the Americans ...
They don't fit to pull a long fight since every second benefits the Wehrmacht .
lol.... 1v1 me you sscrub

Sorry bruh mines craked
Fairly enough
Stephen Wethling
wait can i play multi with cracked ??
Rustams Nilobekovs nooo :D
coh armor company master race
Is this 2v1? I see US and Brit, but only one German player? What’s the point if it is 2v1? That’s an easy to win game
You need to preserve ur engineers and rifleman at the near end, it looked like the germans sucked but you should still retreat them
I'll honestly admit, the Germans did suck. This was a video to represent how the American faction is really meant to be used vs how some people build them, (Pure riflemen, and nesting only, tank rushing, etc). At the time of this video, the Americans I met built them completely wrong. This video was made to show the progression an American has to go through.
i seriously don't like the americans and bristish in this game i just play the germans and wehrmacht. the germans are so easy to play, i use to play this game as a kid for fun but know that i'm older there is a huge balance issuse in this game i mean only shit put the computer on hard or expert and the american/british will never win is dumb.
The pure amount of rifles they build on expert difficulty backed up by some m8s is terrifying.
Would anyone teach how to play like a pro with the americans?
PLease :(
Toyo Aygo do you still play COH?
Tyrell Harris Me yes, can you teach me?
1. How to play american and your ally is brittish.. kind of disappointing.
2. The way you captured was weird and you lost lots of time on your resources.
3. Too many fucking engineers and no halftrack to start with.
4. You are way too slow on your micro it's ridiculous.
Realising none of my feedback here was positive so i do wanna say i have nothing against you, i just don't see you making videos like this expecting alot of people to get something out of it.. i do hope you improved alot though.
+Mexuverse San This was years ago, so yes I have improved. In fact, I play a way better American in Company of Heroes 2. I would also like to note that this was back when I had a laptop, so of course things would seem slow and odd to you. The whole purpose of this video was to show what to open with, (or atleast get an idea) in terms of a build and how to execute it to it's full potential. I will get around to making COH2 videos if that's your forte.
GrandofTheftHero Sounds great and i understand more now, i would make a new one and link it in a video notation. :)
Valla eso sí es de negros XD
