He have stop to play soviet because he wants not loose his place number one or because are more difficult to play and need more skill now after the patch Kappa
Ccart- I like this KV-8 strat of yours. You stomped me twice with it and it's pretty sweet. I use a similar strat with Germans w/ timed in base Strafe + Ostwind rush like this Incendiary Barrage + KV-8 with good success may have to try this out for Soviet. The trick is lasting to 4 VP I suppose.
Xelor had really bad Scout Car Micro this game, and although he knew you were making clowns and had munitions he failed to upgrade his subsequent scout cars or repair them. This is what lost him the game IMO. Maybe he hasn't checked out patch notes and didn’t realize Scout cars with upgrade own now?
