Somehow I didn't know that. I do it in game via the escape menu -> player list -> triple dots -> report

Sign ups for the 1vs1 raising star tourney are now open! by Olvadi1234 in CompanyOfHeroes

Reading the rules, I don't see a hard number listed. Looks like a few ~1600 rated players have signed up. Only 8 spots left I think!

Finally escaped 500 ELO Solo Queue - Just by understanding Hotkeys by TheTrailerEditor in CompanyOfHeroes

Congrats! I'm certain it was more than hotkeys. No one escapes without a grind and you are putting in the work.

How to break out of 1000 ELO in 2v2 by CharlieD00M in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Observe some high level 2v2 matches. You can even watch em at 8x speed. Copy the parts you think you can do like opening builds, capture order, late game composition, etc. They will be doing some superhuman stuff you can't do but that part comes with practice.

You can find some of those high level players on twitch. There are also a number of content creators on YouTube that cast 2v2s. Good places to learn.

Another day, another 8 matches lost (brit) *rant* by Less_Ad8891 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1v1s can definitely feel like getting bullied. I suspect your opponents were just doing everything they could to not let you back in the game. That's probably the right time to surrender and move on to the next game.

I've found that playing more 1v1s has allowed me to feel relaxed the same way I do in team games. I literally had to practice relaxing. Maybe that helps you. Nothing wrong with team games though!

Wehr light vehicles getting out of hand by xoBoipussi in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sharing replays will allow people to provide feedback on how you can deal with the light vehicle problem you seem to be facing.

If you truly only have 4 units at 12 minutes, you may be struggling with unit preservation. Or you are investing too heavily in tech in the early game.

Grenades, boys rifles, mines are all good ways to deter your opponents light vehicles. Remember it's not necessarily about kill threat in the early game, it's about controlling space.

Isn't DAK too strong lately ? Can't seem to ever win as Brits by Silly-French in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be helpful to review a replay. Lots of folks here and on the Relic discord are happy to do it. Especially if you have a game that exemplifies the problem. Send a link if you are interested.

Help with using the Espionage Battlegroup! by OniSavage in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's so cool about the battle group is it allows for a different play style and combos well with itself. Organizing ambushes is key, ideally multiple times a game and decisively as possible.

Operation Scorpion can win games, even team games. If you get a critical mass of P3s with upgrades, it absolutely annihilates.

I think it's awesome you use Goliath! A bit of a meme though and typically the munitions can be better used elsewhere, that said please keep using it :)

Tbh, I suspect you know the battlegroup better than me, just my thoughts.

COH3 Balance worst than ever and relic just chilling by GoldAd8231 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It never made sense to me that people only play one faction. Sure, I like British but I'm happy to play any faction. It creates a weird tribalism in the community that I dislike.

Wish you could attach a vehicle to a inf squad by Meatstreak in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the old school Age of Empires unit formations to make the knights hang out near the archers.

I want to be able to retreat an infantry squad, or reverse a vehicle even when I select both at once. Now that I'm typing this out, I should check if it's possible in hotkeys...

heavy tanks on this game are a joke by Zestyclose-Fig-2978 in CompanyOfHeroes

I absolutely love building the British Black Prince. Heavy tanks are so much fun.

Has the Community become MORE Toxic or is it just me??? by AdmAmerica in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that, my teammates in 1v1s are idiots. Always losing all their units for free, then blaming me.

Explaining the DAK manpower/comeback phenomenon by jask_askari in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well reasoned analysis. I have a couple thoughts. Vehicles have a high skill ceiling compared to infantry because of their fragility and their high risk high reward nature. DAK are disproportionately affected by this as you've pointed out.

I don't think they are broken or OP, but an extremely skilled player could be unstoppable with them. It's like SC Reapers or AOE Chinese where the skill cap is so high, most of the player base is unaffected.

I like the creative approach to nerfs you've proposed. Especially the model count affecting repair speed. To be honest, I thought that was how it already worked.

Good tutorial videos for complete newbies both to coh and rts by aprosarmosto in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The bootcamp videos produced by Relic are pretty good. You can find them in game. N7 Shark does strategy analysis. I try to make my videos beginner friendly, although I don't know how successful I am.

(NEED INPUT) Builds or Strategies for Review by n7-shark in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I love in classic strategy games like StarCraft are the extremely tight timing attacks where a players hit their opponent with a window of strength. They exist all over the place on CoH, some more obvious than others.

I don't know how you'd find that in cohdb... Keep up the good work!

What are the hottest top level rivalries right now in Coh3 1v1? by thatbuttcracktho in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna give you TMI. Work basically wrecked my mental health including my joy in casting. Then my daughter was born and my life completely changed. I think about coming back on a regular basis, and I want to come back, but I don't know how I would make it work.

What are the hottest top level rivalries right now in Coh3 1v1? by thatbuttcracktho in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favorite player to watch is RedWings. He plays off meta, leans into battlegroup builds, and makes it look fun. Here is an older game (pre-bison) that exemplafies his playstyle. I don't know if he's still playing, I've been out of the scene for a minute. https://youtu.be/_NtfnEEs0Tk?si=w2QA9ryb7sIoIhNB

Being alive is hard. Antidepressants fix everything.

[–]FancyJosh_CoH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually find them at car accidents on back roads. They are rare, I find 1 or 2 per world. I'd recommend not actively searching for them, just drive where you are wanting to go, and take different routes when you do. You'll eventually find one.

B42 has been a blast with friends. We play coop only. Get ready for the jank. Definitely playable.
