I keep on losing every game

[Braz]

Hello,

Im playing as brit, mostly in 3vs3 or 4vs4.
I know Im not very good at rts in general but Im still OK and know how to play basically

But I keep losing every game I play, like 10 lose for 1 win.
Every tim being destroyed by arti, or mass mg against camping ennemies, so its not very fun.

Should I just leave the game, as it's perhaps not for me ?

You know what. I will explain. MG's are the easiest thing to counter. All you need is 1-2 mortars. Simplest and fastest way, is just send a smoke barage. That's it. MG is now useless. You walk up to it with your infintry, walk behind it, and it can't shoot you. If it's in a building even easier, just grenade in as it sits in the smoke. Or even easier, you can clear the building, there is a button that tells your squad to just clear it. In addition to this, you have arty, smoke droped from arty and planes, other units that make smoke, airplanes, tanks, etc. Hope this helps. As far as ARTY, arty is deeply unfair in real life. Did you know arty has always been called king of battlefield? Arty just shows you how horrible war is, you can be the most skilled amazing warrior, but one arty strike, and all your skill is useless.

Brits have some good arti options so you can always fight fire with fire. The other thing to note is that as a fellow bad player at brits it gets better once the ELO matchmaking adjusts for your skill.

Your overall win-rate is 37%; not high, but certainly not as low as 10% (per www.coh3stats.com).

First, CoH has a pretty longstanding dedicated PVP community. Lots of people playing have thousands upon thousands of hours in COH2. Combine this with the fact that COH has an extremely high learning curve and MP PVP play can be pretty punishing for people. However, like with anything, the only way to get better is to practice and learn. You can also always do things like watch replays/videos of better players to see what they do, or get advice on things you struggle with.

That said, COH3 is a videogame. You should leave the game if it isn't fun for you, and keep playing if it is fun for you. Unless you're one of the hypercompetitive player with the goal of winning eSports tournaments, the point of playing COH3 is to enjoy the experience. Meeting some arbitrary bar of being "good" at it isn't necessary for that.

yeah i understand but when i try to arti mg with brit inf recce pack they go into mg line of fire, even if i flare before.
And after first encounters are lost, ennemy entrenches near VP, and its gg

At this point I regret having bought the game, the solo campaign is dull and the multi is not very fun since I am matched up with far better players than me.
And too late for refund :(

Knowing the MG is there doesn't mean you can just run up to it. You have a bunch of options, though. The easiest is of course to just attack somewhere else; MGs can't be everywhere and they're at their strongest defending. You can flank (if you see the MG you can just attack from its side and focus it down). You can get a mortar and either barrage the HMG or drop smoke on it before you attack.

The easiest and most reliable MG counter is probably the mortar. If you want something even heavier, you could go Indian Artillery and grab the 4-inch mortar. You could also just tech straight to Bishop which is a pretty incredible hard counter to any form of entrenchment, though you'd need to careful since it would likely mean your enemy gets tanks before you.

Play against AI less stressful and more fun in some peoples opinion.

It's not just you. The game is not balanced at least not yet.

We'll see if it ever will be. At this rate i wouldn't be surprised that more people just stop playing because of how one sided the matches usually are.

I know i play every week or 2 just because i have to be in the right state of mind to play against Axis. Have to have that sweat mode feeling that you wanna beat yourself by trying to play something difficult while the odds are stacked against you.
