If i were to use T1 there are 3 things i'd use them for,
1,clown cars with flame throws of course.
2,the sniper can be potent
3, when the enemy is dug in and i need some satchels |
this unit used to be a godlike machine, but now i never really get it because to me it's more or less so dead, i'm better off with a kubel |
it will be neither it will just be broken as fuck, i mean so broken that no one will know what to do with it for a long while. so it will be both yet not both, for it will plain out right be broken |
it's like the flamertrack for ostheer, same thing, but who goes for that anyway kappa.
in all forms yes i get this alot on the receiving and the delivering.
Please hand the lube |
Also for the commander it was in,
I love that doctorine.
Heat rounds are love,
crit reps are love
the i can see your stuff ability is amazing (especially amazing in team games)
the commander is a nice little sight buff ( mostly use it on the panther because the panther is for me meant to kill tanks, never use it against infantry often)
|
My honest opinion is that the sturm tiger was in a very good spot where it was to begin with.
It didn't need the over buff that it had gotten, aside from maybe a slight pen. not this uber i can pen all that is everything.
I love okw and i loved that unit. I mean I do abuse it still. But honestly it never should have gotten the buff it had.
If they had done that because it is A commander, I think that was the wrong approach in a whole. |
Keep in mind that OKW has a 66% fuel gain, meaning you gain 50% more per minute, also meaning any loss a fuel based unit hurts even more for OKW.
Their design / advantage here is the rather cost effective teching with goodies - in case of T3 it's obv. an HQ with a fancy flak gun on top, while losing it will also mean a complete (!) loss of teching and buildable units.
A forward position has several weakspots:
- AT guns and vehicles can attack ground at max range, they do not need vision for this, so Zis & SU76 are quite good there
- you can also smoke the HQ, and then attack it
- off & on map arty helps a lot on speeding up the process, or just killing it by itself
(current meta vs. OKW often involves ML20s)
- SU85 can self spot and securely attack it
- mortars outrange it by far, but you should of course prepare yourself for a counter attack
(you also force him to send his 320mp Pios to repair it, which often bleed while doing so)
Overall the effort is rather small, and you should never try to overcommit your army by pushing against fortified positions if you can't achieve anything. So just take everything else on the map, and box him in.
Also I want to add, that you can get a co-ordinated attack on in letting a tank take a few hits while your everything else destroys it. Such as PTRS gaurds AT guns and whatever else you can think up to take out this thing,
I had done this to a few OKW players after forcing his units into a retreat. |
I'm not the best at this game, hell i might be fairly bad, who gives a shit if i'm a noob or not i just want to put this out. because hey, opinions
I have had a great deal of awesomeness as well as a greater deal of headaches with this game.
Just thought I'd share the list since everyone else does as I hope it contributes.
My pros:
First why I had enjoyed this game I had found it amazing and stunning at the detail. the amount of awesome explosions and that feeling when things just turned out right.
My cons:
firstly I'd add the part where there is the lack of optimization or trying to make the game run better, this game has been out for how long and it even makes MY computer lag. And yes it is a very high end computer with the beefiest of beef inside of it
Second would most likely be the game breaking bugs that has continued to pop up during the countless of times I've played this game, from men getting stuck in retreat hanging on dead bodies, which turns quickly into a manpower loss if worse a squad wipe, or worse abilities eating your munitions, such as throwing a grenade/molotov, only for a squad to sit there with no actions or reactions for a good 10-15 seconds only for you having to stop the squad in order for it to move and the munitions vanish.
Third are more or less well... the vehicle mechanics, I probably don't need to explain myself on how horrible these things are in the whole bug department. I mean seriously, you'd think this would have been fixed a long time ago, but nope. not happening, and i doubt there will be any effort at all in looking into this.
forth is the fun and good old mg stuck setting up in building bugs. I get to watch an HMG have fun setting up inside of a building for more then a minute, sometimes it just being completely wiped out because it fails to set up inside a building, the bar doesn't move on set up time it freezes in time as if it went into cryo sleep or some nonsense.
this last bit i have to apologize but i just have to say it to get it off my chest. I don't want to be an asshole in saying this but I feel like I need to. again sorry to those who I insult.
more forward would have to be the amounts of ignorance that the community has put into this forum,
I mean sure i can hand it down to that there are a select few out there somewhere that are cool headed, but i got to throw out the mods for not being aggressive enough to root out the bads. I constantly see flame threads that only heat up more people and everyone gets on the band wagon.
nerf this buff that, op this op that. relic is this relic is that. It is a wonder why the game company hasn't just thrown the game out yet and dumped the servers with disgust of how many people flame and fume and constantly smash them for not being on top of every single detail of the game. and those who use there charts and maths, fuck all your maths and charts, it don't make you a good player, it just shows how ignorant you are to try and make an actual argument for why you lost to your own fail of a self. you only insult those who are better.
on top of that for those who do flame and fume about how it isn't there fault but the games, in which people have consistantly tried to help but instead get a mass amounts of flack from the OP it just don't help anything aside from you look like an idiot, so stop. for god sakes stop. |
Is it just me or are these flame threads popping up more often |
M5 is a really great unit, not only can it cut down dudes, it can reinforce your dudes as well. it's mobility is really great, and the cost is just amazing for what it can do. |
