The new retreat radius for the USF base is pretty buggy, causes much more problems than it fixed. I had retreating squads get stuck on other squads constantly in base, requiring me to move them so they could finish their retreat. Seem to get body blocked less than a unit away from the end without pathing around them.
Also had some vehicle crews not auto repairing their vehicle when exiting, even when they not in combat.
- The new retreat distance for USF base causing many problems with units being blocked in the base
- USF vehicle crews not repairing automatically when jumping out of sherman
If you are playing equally you will have t4 and a p4 out before a command panther can come out. If you really need at you get the panther and call-in an ostwind from scavenge doctrine later for ai. Really spec ops is more of a panic doctrine, like armor for usf or the puma doc for Ost. If you lose your t4 or you can't afford one save for that command panther, because fuck it it's your best shot now.
In an even match the extra AT strength of the command panther doesn't justify the doctrine pick over something like scavenge, where every ability is useful. Especially when the t4 also has a panther.
That said, it is still a very popular commander to run with for the situations where you are losing to tanks and need a saving grace.
You picked a terrible build order for this map. You did not need a mortar as your 3rd unit, you didn't even know his army composition yet. If you are going all-in with conscripts you need to go all-in. Keep them moving and try to overwhelm your opponent. In the early game you were throwing 2 conscripts at 2 mgs on one side, you had no hope of winning that. You to either smoke with the mortar, or try to flank them. Head on is useless, a complete waste. While that was going on he was unharrased on the west side of the map and allowed to cap everything. So you are already on the backfoot with no territory control.
Once the mgs were outside your base you still kept trying to frontally assault them. You knew where the mgs were but you kept walking into them. Every time you do this he gets more vet, and you waste time and manpower retreating. Since you had the mortar you need to at least be targeting the mgs with a barrage, it seemed like you always had them on auto fire. Barrage is more accurate and shoots faster, and is free. You could also have fired smoke from the mortar allowing you to close in.
At this point it's pretty much over, he has the whole map, a better position, and more units than you.
Random tips:
- You need to oorah more. It's cheap and lets you get out of the mg arc.
- Instead of trying to avoid the mgs you need to come back from behind and push them off
- Try not to stay too focused on one side of the map
- You lost your engineers and didn't rebuild them, even though he had a bunch of mines down
- Get at-nades if he has vehicles and you have a bunch of cons
- Focus on getting your squads in cover. Fighting the house with cons in the open is a bad idea.
Man... I got nothing about uploading replay after making tons of shit talk everywhere, it's your business, but now you even justify your bad manner...
You boast a lot about this replay everywhere, you can't stop feeling yourself for this lucky game, and this only shows how much of a poor player you actually are.
Don't get me wrong, it was a very good game, but and Neris said it, you were obviously angry at the way I played.
It was really a good game, I don't even understand why you were so annoyed about it.
You were extra mad cuz you had to trash talk in chat by calling other guy 'a noob' and then you got almost rekt like 'a noob' plus you were playing stronger faction on shitty map. Luckily you won but there is nothing to brag about.
This replay is not worth a honor because it was clown fiesta and cheese Brits faction with cheese commander vs underpowered Ostheer who tried some weird strat to prevent fast roflstomp from cheese Brits.
Pls, I obviously almost got rekt before I called him a noob. You are reading way too much into this replay.
Brit player said 'l2p noob' and then lost 2 tanks like a noob. I am so done. Playing such cheese faction and saying BS like this = instant karma. Lol.
Brit player mad because wanted quick rofl stomp vs Ostheer but had to waste 50 minutes on lucky win. xD
Pls, I won. I aint even mad. I didn't post this replay so you could watch my mad skillz. If annoying the other player in chat lets me comeback and win from less than 100 vps then it must be good karma.
