Profile of Ace of Swords

Honestly I don't know why it's so hard to belive, soviet have always been better or easy mode (when all you had to do was cons spam into 34/85s) as much as OKW at the time, they have all the tools and a very good earl/mid/late game, their doctrines range from good to stupidly powerful (if before it was guard motor now it's shock rifle) and generally speaking and this goes for USF aswell, allies lead the flow of the game, they dominate the early which results in increased resources for mid/late game, thus if the allied player will play propely he'll also have a late game advantage.

In other words, axis factions need to play defensively still they can snowball, but this snowballing can only be achieved by exploiting allied fuck ups, for example losing core units or their early tanks without trading effectively, thus to put it simply, an allied player that plays perfectly will always win against an axis player that also plays perfectly, an axis player that plays perfectly will always win against an allied player that fucks up at some point.

Obviously players aren't perfect machines and there's always opportunity for errors, but when playing axis you can feel the pressure and it's easier to make mistakes, this was incredibly evident in the old OST vs USF MU where ost would literally get raped for the first 10 minutes of the game without a way out and often lose in the first 20 minutes.

Atleast that's my 2 cents and that's also an issue I've observed since I started playing.


Edit: this is talking about 1v1, but everything said here can be applied to all other game modes, it's just that the snowballing effect kicks in earlier for axis in 2s,3s,4s thus allies need to be faster in their moves, but usually they fail considering that the general quality for 3s/4s only players is way lower than people who play abit of all modes.

I took it to mean that he wasn't calling Symbiosis (nor Price) a scrub, but rather the people in this thread saying that Price's strategy was cheap / unfair.

Which still misses the point, the strategy was fine, if blobbing works why not blob? That's alright, problem comes when we factor in the manpower he gained unjustly, he fielded X units, he should have upkeep for X units.

For how abstract this might seem I wouldn't consider it different than pretty much hacking in extra resources that you wouldn't normally have, the pop cap isn't the problem, the MP is, he could keep up with symbiosis so much because he could keep re-buying and reinforcing all of his units no problem, had he kept the crews inside the vehicles, I belive he would have lost much, much sooner.

Coldtech has always been a retarded mechanic that added nothing except for a huge annoyance that kept the players AFK near a bonfire still it was over.
