The Priest is a Beast

I've lived the Stug Lyfe, and I've drunk Sturmtiger blood (aka - the Brummbar's Bigger Brother), but only recently have I come to appreciate the Priest.

One of my favorite things about CoH2 is discovering, even after hundreds of hours of play, a unit and really seeing how it can be used effectively. Because it's doctrinal, some players may not have used the Priest.

So for those not in the know, the Priest is a monster of an artillery unit for USF. Fantastic range compared to the howitzer, and with a lot of killing power. You have to order it to fire, but the cool down time for that ability is relatively quick. I just got done with a game where two of them combined racked up about 80 kills.

If you are USF and in a map with chokepoints or camping, consider joining the Priesthood!

Hmm, now I want to give this a shot. I've heard others say it was an awful unit. Seems like it's time for me to test it myself.

um maybe because it costs 115 fuel and 480 manpwer ? which is ALOT more than both of them and requires 9 CP while they require 8

I posted this because the first time I used them I thought they were useless. I just didn't "get" how to use them properly. I wouldn't build them on an open map mind you, but on less open maps with lots of structures they fill a very big hole in the USF arsenal, particularly after the howitzer was nerfed a bit.

The commander himself is actually pretty good all around. The ability for RF to build structures and lay mines is very useful in the early/mid game, and the M1919 really helps your RF's scale into the later game. The arty barrage also is not terrible.

No, 600 Manpower require you to stand down at offensive for a while.
480 is A LOT Different and USF has Fuel float.

Well because USF tanks catch fire easilly.
In 1v1 games you can still use USF versatility but in 4v4 games you only count on Riflemen spam. in 1v1 game I usually have 1 sherman at very late game when I think I got enough riflemen but in 4v4 games I usually use my extra manpower to buy Jackson and keep it in rear line until a tank show up.

It´s a pretty good unit and a good reason for one US to go for it double US or bigger teams. With the artillery call in and the Priest not many OKW trucks will remain alive.

Priest spam was the beast in Sittard Summer and Lienne forest. Against OKW.

I never see Sittard Summer anymore in the map rotations. It was a problem map, but I still liked its funnel to the center just for the spectacle. I'm really pissed that I didn't discover the Priest when that map was more regularly in the rotation. So many howitzers lost trying to arty across the middle bridge!
