Let's talk about vanilla commanders please... no sense in comparing commanders that you have to pay to get an advantage. |
Does anyone find this largely unbalanced? They just come way too soon and can counter every T1 german unit except for a sniper. With double CP income this means that they will come out before T2 and you will lose map control. The MP drain from them coming so early also screws you until you get a P4. You don't need to really kill anything to get them either. Just shoot a few grens and build a building and there you have 1 CP. They should be pushed back to 2 CP. |
Does anyone know how exactly it increases defense down to the number by any chance? About the paks, it almost seems like your pak becomes unflankable by T34s with the defense buff because it takes forever to kill the crew. Anyone have this experience? |
Just wondering if this tank is really worth it. For some reason it can't shoot tanks like a p4 and it's anti infantry is just as good as a p4, but it costs 10 more fuel. It feels like I'd rather just get another P4 or choose another doctrine w/ tiger. Are the defense bonuses worth it?
Thanks for responses! |
Hey all,
What's the best way to ram super heavy tanks like the tiger ace, normal tigers, and panthers? Usually a rear hit with panthers can do some damage but ramming tiger aces to counter elite unit doctrines is just throwing away fuel! Especially when you don't have a super heavy tank doctrine. Is the rear the best place to hit them? I heard it's actually really heavily armored.
Just trying to make other choices work against tiger commanders... ie tiger ace for vanilla commanders w/o having to choose IS152/IS2 commanders every game. |
Hey guys,
Just wanted to get the facts on T-34 Ram now. What exactly does it do? In my experience for P4 it criticals the main gun and sometimes just damages the engine. For panthers I'm not sure and for tigers it just does nothing or a temporary crew shock for a few seconds and a dead t-34. |
Hey all,
Anyone been using these guys lateley? I've started using them but they're really fragile. Maybe a T2 strat with these guys instead of conscripts? |
What happened to the MG42? It takes so long to suppress and can't kill anything (we're talking 6 man squads here)..now what am I going to do against shocks? Get a PIV and wait for 5 minutes for it to wittle all the shocks down? If you don't kill them all they'll just start aggregating until the whole map is filled with 2-3 shock squads.. Even a vet 3 LMG gren isn't going to kill these things. So what now? gg? |
When using this commander, do you pick between G43 or MG42? Or do you guys usually do both? Doing both usually squeezes me out on munitions. Also, this strat is probably best with gren spam? |
Germans can just spam MG's or sit at a muni point and get double flame HT. Intensively microing 8 squads at once to flank and surround vehicles with AT grenades seems pretty tiring for me. If you mess up and let MG's start digging in supported by flame HT/tanks this could get ugly for you. |
