I've never used emplacements that much, though in general I think you'll find they are a way of getting around the inherent manpower problems the Brits had without infantry Vet. Lose a model and it costs to replace, lose 95% of a pit and it cracks on as normal and just needs some engineer time.
Now that Vet 2 IS and Vet 3 engineers are a bit more survivable you will hopefully see a more mobile playstyle become the meta. |
Having some immense battles that finally make a bit of sense. Still not winning that much but quite a few hour long games with both sides under 100 VPs. Bloody good fun.
Good job Relic. |
Obers are bad.... |
I haven't tried a FRP so might give that a go... |
Not sure what the deflection damage is on a PIV but even when it doesn't pen it seems to do considerable damage.
Little 25 ton tank has the same armour as a Churchill and a better AI gun to boot. One of the last units in the game I would consider to be underpowered.... |
Faced some Vet 4 Sturms earlier.... 3 double Brenned 5 man Tommy squads couldn't stop them. |
"One of them is LEIG. Which is getting 0.77^5 = 0.27 received accuracy at vet2"
I thought 7 shots plus MG to take a single model off a Leig was a bit much... |
My problem map, or the problem map I don't have vetoed...
Can't remember the last time I won on this one, from the South seems particularly hard. OKW or Ostheer, doesn't seem to matter, particularly nasty game against the low level Axis players that dig in. No room to flank, no good locations for a pit and Axis armour are always front on. I'm even considering a 17pdr somewhere central... Please save me from this!
Any tips? |
Having built at least one UC in every game I can't recall one making it past the 10 minute mark unless they sat in base rotting or were turned into command vehicles and wrapped in cotton wool.
Not sure how many games I've played but a grand total of 2 UCs have made it to Vet 1, one of which was instantly vapourised by a bastid AT gun.
Increasing the dps by 50%, from not a lot at all, won't help this.
If you got Vet on your recent UC shenanigans then the UC challenge is still open....
Also I've yet to see a UC suppress anything, do you have a replay? |
"80 range + tank disable is wonderful against fatty Axis tank"
WP disables Axis tanks? |
