Yeah the stuka is rubbish in 1v1

I didn't play this well, of course emplacements are beat-able however i was trying something new. As the new stug E has a really long range and can fire over some things i was trying to see if it was a good emplacement counter. In this case not due mostly to the building in the way and the nature of the map.

I do think this game is a good way to illustrate how incredibly powerful the mortar pits in particular are. As as OST player i have NO indirect fire options available to counter them (other than very specific commander units which often are not that effective anyway).

The mortar half track has a short range and is damaged by counter fire from the mortars. The short range makes them very vulnerable to AT gun snipes or dives with tanks.

The Lefh is a late game counter meaning the damage is often already done and is easy for brits to counter with either a tank heavy dive or counter arty (off map or on).

If i was going full try-hard mode i would have focused on the VP's that were outside of the mortar pit range however that leaves me weak in the middle where my cut off was, and weak on the flanks as his forces will ALWAYS be together and mine will ALWAYS be divided.

In terms of the argument about 'no top players build emplacements' it not a very good argument as many top players don't really play brits at all, and those that do kinda just play them coz they are there, and not as a serious competitive (lol) faction. Spamming emplacements is also a really boring way to play and so often not done for those reasons. For instance Luvnest refuses to use maxim spam for the same reason.

Also Nosliw if one game cant prove emplacements are OP then our one game cant prove you are or are not a better player than me.

the Pgren spam worked a little better this time but still not too effective

I got some lucky wipes which maybe lead to me winning the game but i still think agren spam is only semi effective. I think Hector needed at least a one mg.

In terms of balance i think the penals are good enough up close anyway that they dont need the flamer ppsh 'sidegrade' to be effective. Personally i think the ppsh flamer is such a weird upgrade that i would rather not have the added complication of figuring out how best to position them in the mid and late game. I think give them 3/4 ppsh's and no flamer or just give up on the flamer idea anyway. The flamers are not OP (as far as i have played) but i dont think people will use them due to gimping that comes with the ppsh.
