I will cry myself to sleep for a week if there is no sexton. Mobile 25 pounder.... what's not to love? I think Achilles or firefly. Both maybe if one is doctrinal. I'd love to see an SAS style jeep. Great for wiping lone squads/recon. I want no trucks.... I do want a forward retreat point. Give us some non-doctrinal elite infantry. Churchill variants.. 2 or 3 would be good. One standard as nondoc and the others ... crocodile, mine plow, avre, etc doctrinal. Best allied at gun qf 17 pounder. Dunno about emplacements... arty of some sort for sure. perhaps an ability for a quick fusilade of rapid fire from Enfield rifles on infantry. Casualties need to be very costly for Brits.
Please no weird gimmick. Please. |

Flamer half track is amazing for torching structures. I always get one if I'm fighting anything building related... partisans, fhq, etc. It does come late so you have to beat the first one but it's great for eliminating buildings without sacrificing your fighting strength since you almost never use it on the front.
My main strategy to counter without a Mht is 2 flamer pios 2 mgs and a mortar. You can have one pios on it almost constantly while the other is reinforcing and keep the mortar on barrage. I don't attack ground. It'll get More rounds down range using the barrage as soon as cool down is over. It's much much easier with a Mht though. There I go oNE mortar one Mht 2 mgs and do work. It's a bitch on the right map though |

The biggest issue I have with big games is that there is no mid game. Light vehicles have almost no window of opportunity. Medium tanks have the same problem to a lesser degree. Slow down the resources and that should alleviate the problem. Perhaps cut resources from all points by a third.
Wehr feeding okw fuel is an issue. Via caches or drops is irrelevant. It takes the handicap of okw away leaving all of the strengths and none of the weakness. It's a problem when you have too little mp to spend fuel at the 10-12 minute mark. I wants to see more infantry and light vehicle play. 15 minute KT is absurd.
I do however like the way okw/wehr and usf/so synergise.
Matchmaking is troublesome at times. When I'm playing with the guys and we get four randoms and bade pin them it's no fun for either team. Same goes when I'm flying solo in automatch trying something new. Getting stomped by a good AT is a bitch. No notion of how to fix that aside from separate queues and that's a terrible idea. |

Asymmetric balance I guess. Allies have no super heavy tds... elefant & jagdtiger. I attempt to counter them with priests. Allies definitely have a huge advantage in artillery. It's what I fear most as wehrmacht. Panzerwerfer can be very good but extremely situational. Katyusha is better... no doubt. |

We played a CRAZY game on this map today, and it is artilerrifestapaloozicon. 6 priests a major and a ambo with RE's trying to stand on the bridge long enough to tick off a few more vps before roosevelt has to send their folks a condolence letter.
it is a cool map, but i think it feels counter to "normal" 4v4 gameplay.
seems to me its allied favored since allies have the best on map arty.
i do like it though, but i totally get why people hate it |
So basically because you actually are part of the in group you don't hate the in group anymore? Well of course that makes sense.
since papa bear won't say it.... Go fuck yourself Alex.
on topic...... i was the first bear on the official forums to get on that thread! Congrats or my condolences to Napalm, whichever the case may be. |

My favorite para tactic is to have 2 paras w/ lmg do the main assault and one Thompson paras come in on a flank and hopefully the wipe. I think the Thompsons are fine but that lmg are too effective. The grenadiers with a single one are fine. Obersoldaten are crazy. Double lmg rifles are crazy too. Paras with lmg and vet 2-3 are nuts as well. I don't know a solution without ruining lmg entirely. |

I can testify the panzerwerfer melts rifles at point blank.... damn you auzzie! Getting it real close for barrage and gtfo works pretty well if you can micro. If you can't micro.... go play okw. |
|
I'd pay 3-4 grand for rights to kick okw fan boys in the shin every time they said a unit is UP.
I dunno why you guys expect relic to tell us every time they go take a restroom break. We will see what they did soon enough. I'm anxiously anticipating it too. I will say I think they should do more marketing/hyping before big releases.... but patches? Nah. |

I'm all for it. Your 1v1 esports dreams are as dead as Julius Caesar. Give us cool new stuff to play with. Commandos, cruisers, 17 pounder AT guns, Churchills, etc etc. I hope they are similar to the wehrmacht in terms of tech structure. Officers like German ones with an aura. They should almost necessarily be defensive natured except for raiding forces. I'm really hoping commandos can cloak and use demo charges. Artillery is a must for brits as well.
I really hope that brits and custom commanders drop in June. Blow the meta to bits like volks over a demo charge. |
