I didn't watch the replay but the M5 comes from T3 and not T2. From where the T70 and the S76 come from. Maybe you miss clicked?

Siegfried3991 Have you rewatched your own replay and ensured that this is in fact not the case or did you in fact mean t3 in your post? Because it is true what Sandreas said, as t2 does not give any veichles, only maxim, mortar and Zis-gun.

... didn't go well for those first I think those pretty much lost their sense, you might check it up.

Were osttruppen doctrine not always less than ideal vs. soviets? I personally use it almost exclusively against UKF and USF and try to use fuel drop for rushing an ostwind.

This new change in the december patch will make both t34 useless now. Who would get a t34 75 when you get a m4c which is a way better AI and AT..

I can see all t34-85 commander take a hit aswell.

#save my t34s

I don't know how you reached that conclusion but I must say that I disagree wholeheartedly.

This is a definitive (and resonable) nerf for the lend lease sherman as before you could field it without ever having to tech for t4. Now it has to compete with the t-34 which is a whopping 50 fuel cheaper.

If anything I agree with tightropes assertion that the sherman should probably get a very slight decrease in fuel cost now that it is tied to t4 which takes away one of the main appeals from the lend lease doctrine.

If okw bases are giving you trouble just do the Demo trick or smoke the flak and throw 3 satchels at it.

Forgot to add: katyushas and SU 76 barrages are your friends

I actually tried something like this pretty much immediately after getting the first feedback and it worked like a charm.

The only downside to it was that I was called a retarded turbo-autist by my opponent who also told me to uninstall my game :/

And last thing. I know that my mistakes snowballed the match, but, what was the best antiblobbing thing that I could have used when I watched his blobbing playstile? I was watching where his blob where going with the IR-HT, but didn't have ideas of how to hard countering that (asuming I had enough MP, which was not the case).

Again, thank you very much for your help!!

Your opponent was actually also going off-meta with cons over penals, which was a rare but refreshing sight. Unless the conscripts get the ptrs upgrade they are actually a pretty horrendeous blobbing unit as their moving accuracy is extremely bad. This means that you should basically just make your volks stand out behind hard cover and pick them off as they approach you. when they get within grenade range you can increase the bleed further with the incindary grenade or the doctrinal infiltration grenades. Just remember to target the squad with the fewest men, which will force him to retreat the squad og loosing it. the moment the conscripts have closed the distance and are still outnumbering you, simply retreat. if you have bled him of more manpower than you lost, you still won the engagement even if you had to give some ground.

one piece of advice to tip the scales further in your favor would be to build sandbags with your volks everytime you're capping a point. As you have probably seen from casts, the best place for sandbags are right up againt the centre of a point, as that will make you benefit from the green cover without your opponent being able to. On faymontville there are some very vital buildings, especially the stone house in the centre, which would have been a perfect spot to camp your mg for a while at least and this would also help you with blob control, at least until the mortars had taken care of it.
