Remember that Cpt Molo guy that just spammed flamer clown cars so hard until they were finally nerfed?

I wonder where he is now, all those scout car flamers lost.... like tears in the rain

Yeah, i miss those good old days. It could wipe OKW out of the map in first few minutes. Against wehr, while not as potent, it could still lead to a few easily forced retreats.

Another wonderful thing were flares in doorway, just waitin for that expensive fallschirmjager squad...

Also wehr sniper incediary round could wipe entire blobs.

Or five calliopes per match as USF, if you had a good teammate to protect them... poor opponents.


Yeah, theres a lotta stuff that will certainly (not) be missed.

I miss the days when Heavy Tanks actually did more damage than Medium Tanks. Heavies like the Tiger and IS2 feel like a novelty now. :/

Literally the only way you could bring lethality in the game was fire, bombs, and tank crush.

Peter Qumsieh's lethality and weapon profile patch in Q2 2014 saved the game in my opinion.

The very brief Grenpocalpyse when G43 grens became miniguns on wheels. I beat Cataclaw once in 1v1 that patch :)

Also there was an early patch where MG42s were so uber powerful you could literally just spam them and attack move across the map.

I disagree the weapons profile patch in 2014 saved the game, it just changed it. Before it was a game of maneuver and army composition, after that it has become much more about fast multitasking and fast reflexes, where faster micro would beat maneuvers and tactics that might take a while to execute. Since lethality was increased, it has generally been better to go for shorter maneuvers and blobbing became more powerful because players quickly learned that the way to win was not by maneuver but by wiping units. The best way to wipe units is to focus fire on weak squads with a blob. The best counter to that is faster reflexes (fast retreats).

The change in playerpool sizes and the activity in 1v1 speak for themselves go through steam charts and compared before and after that patch!

Yeah, I know most people prefer the fast-paced game, being older and slower, I preferred the old game :)
