USA - how to play them?

[Resyaf]

Hey all, i bought western fron armies to coh2 and i started to play usa. This is the best side for me to play, but i want to play better and learn how to play usa in professional way Maybe some of you know how to play and can you help me beeing better.

I don't know how to play them..... however I know what is a pain in the ass when I play against them....
constant attacks, and non stop pressure. not letting me have a moments rest. masses of infantry that I cant stop, then jacksons to keep me from using my tanks. oh, and those little pack howitzers do pretty good too.

Constant pressure. Don't blob or prepare to lose all of your troops in a panzerwerfer or walking stuka attack.

I prefer to use bazookas over the AT gun, they are more mobile and work great if garrisoned.

There are many strategies for the USF, but that is a small outline of mine.

Yep, you can really count on infantry to do the heavy lifting. I actually use US armor to support infantry, not the other way around, heh. Can be a bit slow going breaking through to the enemy base if you don't have arty like Priests to blow through enemy concentrations. Lack of non-doctrinal heavier artillery can complicate life sometimes.

i used to emphasize on healthy mix of RET and Rifleman to ensure I will have favourable map control. This translated to faster teching which allowed faster light vehicle/armour and multiple BAR/LMG. With nerf on RET this approach is less effective

[The Mailman Thinks I Am Gay]

Since all you can do during the early to middle game is spam riflemen and some rear e or just spam both, there really isnt a lot of changes you can do at that time.

But there some different playstyle like in 1v1 you can pick armor company and not tech major since you can call in m10 and bulldozers, thus saving you fuel for them (You really dont need major unless you can only build stock units. And most 1v1 are small enough to make it back and forth).

Another kinda safe bet would be going to Capt: You get free zooks for the capt and you can get a howiz and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ at gun (better than none), stuart, and you make spawning unit more faster with capt ability.

LT is more of a gamble. You can get those ok mg and plant them somewhere, LTcomes with a thomson and a bar, and the m20 for I guess bunker busting and other things.

But get some rifle and re (for support and map control) and get some zooks and bars (Give RE zooks and bar/zooks for rifle) for starters

this page and you have to replay the recording to better players, the man who introduced me to this game at the beginning told me that one bred match worth more than the two played, and he was right :)

The most important aspect of USF is your Riflemen play, always build 3-4 of them and learn how to use them well and you'll do fine and have a lot of fun, don't forget Riflemen can work as pseudo assault troops to wipe out long range enemies after closing in with smoke or can sit in cover and pummel down enemy assault troops coming from them... Praise the M1 Garand and get used to being called a spammer though since Jerry is expecting you to attack them with REs and Ambulances or something.
