If you are decent, then you should be winning the low amount of games you are playing.
If your real skill level is higher to what your rank is showing up, you should be defeating your opponents easily.
People just like to put excusses at everything. If you lose, that's because you could had done something better or your opponent is simply better than you or using stronger tactics (meta).
+1 - If someone who is good is smurfing and they win all 10 games to get a rank, that rank would probably be at worst 3000, and wouldn't drop anyone's elo rank that much, unless it was another elite that they beat.
Creating a second account, comparing the win rate to your primary, and then deciding that your losses were because of noobs is misleading. If you play the second account enough, you'll end up matched against the people who gave your first account its win/loss ratio.
Occasionally, I run into people who aren't even prestige 1 yet they play much better than some of the prestige 3's. It isn't a big deal. Save the replay, watch it, learn, and go on. |
Guards are crap Kappa
They were mostly crap, but were helpful in stopping the fast Luchs. Now they're pretty good except that they like to drop weapons way too much. |
I appreciate all of the replies and helpful suggestions. I'd say, the biggest thing for me is judging whether or not I will win an engagement.
As Australian Magic pointed out in the actual replay thread, he said we didn't communicate. We were on Teamspeak together but didn't talk as much as I'd like. I think it was late (around midnight) and we/I was just tired. If I would've gotten a Sherman instead of a Jackson, or if Newbie would've gotten a Katyusha and I a Jackson, things may have turned out different.
Honestly, I was expecting panthers from the Ostheer player, not stalling for a Tiger Ace... that seemed awfully silly (yet it worked).
We just didn't work together or coordinate well enough after early game, I think.
That loss was my fault, it was late and I was tired and not playing well. Wasted a sniper, was sure that one of their squads was going to get wiped before it could get my 120, but lost the 120 to them. That was huge, because it started the manpower bleed going the other way. |

Please no, unless we get one more veto. |
OKW has snipers? How do i get one?
Maybe Relic will program in a "abandoned" critical for snipers, because more randomness is exactly what this game needs. |
Here is what I think about OKW 1v1s: Dont play it atm.
Soviets wreck you; your best chance is blobbing up your 3-4 volkshreck blob behind a sweeper BUT first; medic truck and Jagdpanzer 4 + elite infantry (falls, jaegers, fusis). Try to hold out against call-ins and slowly creep forward. Dont bother with T4 'cuz you'll just set yourself behind teching even more. The thing is you have to wait for your opponent to make a mistake.
Against USF it's much easier as you can get a kübel + 3 volks and harass his capping; the deal is the same thought: dug in with T2 + T4 and blob and defend.
Btw;. any1 got any idea how to counter Katy?
I've been enjoying playing OKW. I've been winning a little over half, with some maps and combinations really bad. I used to play only US before the Sept 9 patch last year, then switched to Soviets because USF was horrible in large team games. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of choices when playing those factions so it got really boring. |
You only need 1 fuel and half the map for 4-5 mins to rush a Luchs
Just set up med truck near fuel or between cutoff and fuel... Preferably behind those buildings .(hopefully you know what I'm talking about)
Then just hold on for dear life until T4 which you should probably set up near those buildings as well, then poop out the Luchs.
You pretty much have to go Pak43 and MG34s though.
Thx, I'll try that the next time I'm on Langreskaya. |
The discussion has kinda evolved from there Kwen. If we could move behind all the fanboyismo (the Allied one, centered around imaginary "Krupp Steel" and "Axis tears" too, not every balance complaint is an L2P issue), would be kinda beneficial.
So two Jacksons that cost the same as a Tiger shouldn't counter it, even when they have no AI ability? Are two Jacksons considered spam? I'd be surprised if anyone built three because they have no AI.
More than anything else, the problem right now is that a lot of the better players were in the alpha, and a lot of the remaining random automatch players (particularly in 4v4) are really bad.

If im being more aggresive, like fussie spam etc, dont get an ISG. If your playing a more defensive style around your trucks, the enemy will push on you, so the ISG works absolute wonders then at defending you. Its generally so much safer having it in close proximity to your HQs.
Snipers and mortars can be wrecked by a fast Luchs, so long as you can support it with shreks when a counter comes running.
Don't you have to have fairly decent map control to go fast Luchs? I usually play defensively when playing OKW, but that's probably part of my problem (53% win rate in 1v1 after about 40 games since last patch). Is there anyplace where someone has strategies that work for Langreskaya? I've lost on it almost every time when starting on the top.
