I've seen Tightrope using REs with M1919 in his FPV with quite some success, but I haven't tried it myself yet. Though considering Echelons get their offensive Vet a lot earlier than Riflemen, I guess this could be well worth it.
I've looked at few TR's 1919 games and with confidence can say that RE and .30 cal is not an effective match. Maybe if they get to vet3, but otherwise, you'd rather give it to anyone but REs. |

You either deserve the rank or not. Nothing in between. |

Guys, every faction "spams" infantry. Only OST can have less of it, because of efficiency of 2x HMG42 build. I think the problem is that both cons and Grens scale better/efficiently then volks and rifles. Volks being mediocre once their power spike wears off and rifles being very expensive to scale and maintain. |
well stacking "negative RA" aura kind of make sense as the most simple solution (in theory), while incremental accuracy is a weird one, since it stacks with models (AFAIK) not squads.
Also, as was pointed out earlier, what is actually a blob? 3 or more squads in a "tight formation"? Maybe 4 or more? Also if I spread my 4 squads with gaps between them and move them in that formation, should this also be punished? |
Thank you for the answers. I'm aware of this elevation, covers, etc.
This is just one unit very exceptional and dodging hits even though its parked raketeen and P4s (very close both stopped) are unable to hit it.
I'm guessing there's a buff on it size when it hits veterancy? it's almost invincible in vet3 with its speed, acceleration, and sight.
Why bother asking, if you put a lot more weight in several unlucky encounters, then in what people may answer you? This is a game of odds or RNG. You can have both unlucky rolls and extremely lucky rolls in one game, but nobody remembers lucky once, since this is how our perception works.

Airguards became a thing during community suggested commanders patch in 2019 (I think), so if you wanted your input to be heard you are sadly (or not) way to late.

anti tank guns miss their shots exceptionally more if there is a green cover portion between the AT gun and the tank.
this also works the other way around, with exceptions (namely brummbar)
you can place a sandbag in front of a t70, put AT at max range, give both sandbag and t70 invulnerability and test it yourself, if you don't believe me.
This "works" other way around only vs infantry, since almost all infantry hits are scatter rolls, opposed to armor hits, which are mostly accuracy hits. |
|
the only difference from other units is the actual size of the unit. This makes scatter shots from AT guns miss more, especially if there is an obstacle between t70 and AT, like green cover (e.g. car or a brick fence). But that's only scatter. All hit rolls should connect, like with any other unit, since they ignore obstacles, armored units in front of the target, elevation etc. |
I meant that if you play against OKW, it is a viable tactic for you to use hmg on them because for the first 5-10mins of the game (barring some masterful micro of kubel that only <1% of players possess) they cannot under any circumstances respond to that. No mortar, no smoke. Maybe flanking I guess, but a good player will make 2 hmgs to defend mid and flank.
starting solution is same as UKF - sandbags. Dug in, counterattack from green cover, setup a med Battlegroup and then just spam smoke with leig. Then build hmg42, AAHT and rak to solidify your position. Just to be on the safe side vs MG spammer JLIs are great as well. You can also get a 221 and efficiently bleed the enemy. |
psa: the is-2 he shell is accurate because the tank has to be stationary and the AoE is huge, but the isu-152 HE hits just as hard, and at longer ranges
Frag round has a rather tight scatter, as well as having excellent aoe, in fact better then isu/kv2. But it is expected, since you pay for it |
