I'm just a beginner so don't take it seriously ;-)
As a soviet player i would counter this with 2 maxims and 2 cons for the very ealy game. With the right commander, the cons can be upgraded with PPsH for just 120M at 3CP and at 2CP you can add 1-2 shocks pretty quickly. I think that Fallshirmjaeger are a much much bigger pain in the a**. And Soviets don't need muni so much, so starving them from it doesn't hurt them too much.
You're right with the clowncar - it should have come much sooner. I wanted to harrass the right side of the map with it, but i decided to fend off the attackers on my side of the map first. And then the P2 came. But i was able to destroy it at least, which couldn't be the case, if i sent it right to the other side of the map.
Ammo float - yeah, i forgot about the mines and rapid conscription as well. This is something i need to keep an eye on in the future.
I built a 2nd SU-85 when i saw that KonigsTiger. Thank god he jumped on the bait and i was able to destroy it. I kinda start to like those SU-85s, which i didn't built so much before. That gun has a lot of punch. But again you're right .. both SU-85s sat back doing nothing after that. Oh and i didn't know that the Schwerer Panzer HQ can bring out tanks. I thought it's just a defensive building :-) Now i know that i don't need a T-34 or SU-85 to destroy it. As someone else mentioned in the replay section, the OKW player can't select target for the bulding's gun to attack. That can be usefull as well.
T-70 - now i know it's a "must have" unit.. at least against those Fallschirmjaegers, which cost me a lot of MP. Btw. what about the WBP and T-70? I don't pay much attention to it, because i have to learn other things first. But i already know that Penals will loose their flamers. What about T-70? Is it going to be nerfed?
Thanks for the tip with Sturmpios. It's all about this details which you can't read in any guide out there. And thanks everybody who wanted to help! Much appreciated!
I selected the commander at the start, because i knew i was going to use him. And i'm still testing all SU commanders. But yeah .. i will keep the selection for a later stage of the game in the future.
Do you recommend Penals because DPS? Here are stats of Cons and Penals. They both have same health and armor, but Cons are cheaper and faster to build. While Penals have better DPS (btw. do you know what F/N means? Far/Near?). But Cons with the PPsH upgrade have again better DPS and i was having no problems against Volks, even with their STGs. I mostly won engagements 1on1. Only Infantry unit which casued me the most trouble were Fallschirmjaegers. And about the Guards - aren't they doctrine infantry? If so, i can't start with them ..
Yeah i was thinking about T70. But i didn't built it becasue he had his fuel for almost 16 minutes and i lost mine several times by that time. So i felt like there will be a P4 coming soon and didn't want to slow my teching to T4 for another 70F. Maybe i was wrong.
Munitions! You're right! I didn't realized that even after watching the replay. There was so much action, that i forgot about the mines. And rapid conscription .. oh my .. didn't even touched that button.. this is a good point, thank you!
Schwer HQ - what the hell? I thought that's just a defensive building .. and they are coming tanks from this thing? Wow .. maybe i should play the OKW soon, so i know what i'm facing as SU lol! And thx for the tip with destroing it. Didn't knew you can't select which target the gun attacks. May become handy ..
Correct me if i'm wrong, but there are in-game options, that disables the subscription to custom skins, victory strikes and decals .. thus preventing the auto-downloads. It works for the Custom games. And there is only official stuff used in automatch.
Yeah i would be glad if you take a look at it and tell me where can i improve. I mean, i saw that replay and know what i did wrong with my units (basically bad micro), but if you see something wrong with my overall strategy for example .. or if you would have done something differently .. please feel free to point it out. I'm trying to learn from my own mistakes, but obviously bad habits are bad habits for a reason (i can't see them myself). And i want to know about them sooner or later. Thank you in advance.
So after 10 ranked games as Ostheer i focused on Soviet Union. I was really lost the first time, but after playing some 1v1 and team matches, i was going into this match for the first time with head up. I found a good commander to use (Reserve Army) and i didn't lost at the start as my first three matches. Can someone please review and point my errors and give some advice for Soviets overall? I did watched the replay and found out this:
3min - already lost my first Cons (i'm still pretty bad at preserving units)
4min - i built T1 .. but i think T2 would have been a better choice .. i build only Scout car, which i lost pretty quickly and Penals .. maybe Maxim would be a better choice
13min - another Cons lost
The first 15 minutes i was defending left side of the map, while losing VPs. And i totally forgot about right side of the map. If i just sent those Irregulars with Engies to the right side of the map sooner .. but i realized it at about 16 minutes in the match. The next attack at around 18th minute was a success. But a minute later i had to retreat because of unit clumping and one Fallschirmjaeger grenade.
20min - unsupported T34 attacking .. and i did this several times in this match, almost loosing it
23min - i stopped the SU-85 and started to retreat .. and that's why i lost it .. i should have finished the panther and maybe go back through the left side of the map ..
30min - stupid Vet3 Engie lost
32min - T34 doing nothing by uncaptured VP .. it should have captured it .. i forgot about it's ability to do that
33min - another stupid Vet3 Cons loss
34min - lost about 3-4 inf. units at once ...
37min / my last push .. lost 2 Cons and T34 ... unnecessary
So this is what i saw and i hope will learn from it
