So your mind absolutely rang no bells whatsoever when you suddenly saw a vet 3 MG42 appear out of nowhere ? As a strategist you'd not even remotely researched the new doctrines now out for 2 weeks or so ?.
I have not played a lot of games since the release of Turning Point because of school, being a Strategist is not my job, it's something I applied for to eventually write a guide to help introduce new players to 1v1 because I wanted to help.
Plus I really don't agree that because I do not pay for a feature, that I need to do research in order to be able to win. If you agree with this, then you agree that it is Pay to Win. I've never agreed with the commander model and never will and will never purchase any of them.
And again, you were hardly winning the game. You kept losing units. In rather silly manners too. Your T34s were too easily disabled or completely knocked out. And if your 2 shock trooper units were enough. How come you never actually beat him before the Tiger ace arrived ?
If you were winning. How could he drive a Tiger Ace straight into the heart of your base ?
What he did was merely deliver the killing blow. it didn't matter if he was playing another doctrine or had sent in regular tiger tanks. You would have lost.
I agree with you, I did lose some units in bad ways.
Where I don't agree with you is who was winning this game.
Like I said, I did lose some units but so did he... but he also lost total map control during most of the game.
If you look at the resources and VPs throughout the whole game, I was in total control.
I don't mind losing a game, but I lost this game because of ONE mistake, letting that ONE single unit drive into my base. If it was another tank, it would of died, it was almost dead anyways.
BTW, even with mines, AtGuns and AT Grenades that unit could of entered my base. Mines can be destroyed by infantries, AT grenades might not penetrate and it can easily just pass by at-guns.
The reason of my title is because this unit is too forgiving, way too much power for too little risk.
