Has this one been posted in here yet? WW2 comic promoting the BOYS Anti Tank Rifle.

Fun fact. One of the animators is a guy who later became famous under the name Dr. Seuss.

Okay.. so I loaded the replay and timestamped everything.. but.. it was the wrong person hahahahaha. Though, to give a quick thought:

You did pretty good, the wehrmacht player had alot of mistakes, yet you maintained most of the fuel control. The problem was,

1. You had no anti tank.
2. You teched WAAAAY to late to T3.
3. When you finaly got a su-76, you drove straight into a mine. Always have minesweepers up and ready.

Also it looks like he tried to do my cheesy strat, but instead of assgrens, he used pgrens. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xycWFiR_mw#t=78s)

- Some advice

Use more mines,
don't fight pios close range,
get a minesweeper,
watch your teching,
when going penals give them ptrs that way you have solid anti tank,
make use of commanders,
knowing that he went pgrens you could 've gone double sniper.

Sorry I haven't responded to this before now. thanks for the advice!

And really an interesting wehr strat you have there. I'm definitely going to try my luck with that at some point, though I expect that I will probably fudge it up

You were clearly upset when you wrote this, but take a deep breath and I'll see if I can look through your match tonight

Before watching I can answer some of your quiesitons up front.

For the 222 I agree that this vehicle is in a bit of a strange spot at the moment, because its main job used to be hunting down snipers and it is horrible at doing that at the moment. In general you should use it like a recon vehicle decent dps at range but also very vulnerable. only close the distance on retreating units, even lighter vehicles or isolated infantry without access to snares.

One of the things that you criticize is in my opinion also one of the greatest strength of this game, this being able to craw your way to victory from the brink of defeat. You are obviously having an advantage when you are ahead on ressources, but you should never feel safe before the second that the match has ended. some good play, flanks and a dabble of blind luck and RNG can turn a match very quickly and you need to always have this in the back of your mind and thinking ahead, not on what unit would be nice right now, but what unit will be absolutely wital 3-4 minutes from now.

The player base certainly would benefit from a few thousand more regulars, but I would say that the balance is still fairly decent unless you are in the absolute top or bottom of the game. It has most of its players in the european time zone, so for optimal match making you should check in at european post-work/school hours. But also both the US and Asia has a decent abount of players so horribly unbalanced games should be the exception rather than the rule.

I can't say much more untill I watched your game, but for future reference (and to keep in line with forum rules), you should post your replay requests in this thread https://www.coh2.org/forum/109/replay-reviews

Humblebundle just released a ton of whale and dolphin skin keys and generous people are sharing them on other forums.

I like the charity part and helping nature, but must it come at a price of butt ugly paintjobs?
