Started game with my normal commissar build which is Penal/Clown Car/ x3 penal. The opening is really slow but once the last Penal is built I can usually bully the other player until they get multiple PG.
I used the clown car to decap and harass once I saw his opening Gren was attacking my gas, forced multiple retreats as my Penal bullied his Gren. I avoided his MG as much as possible and harassed it with clown car. He made a 250/1 and attacked with a flame engineer in it, which I promptly chased down with PTRS clown car.
Game starts to swing in my favor when I Satchel his mg in a building and get the wipe. At this point I skipped base healing and used MP for Commissar to force retreats and buff penals for more favorable battles. I then use m5 quad for mobile suppression to make battles as favorable for me as I can. Game is going good until I hit mine that takes out quad and commissar.
We both get our tanks out at the same time but he has AT gun to support while I have PTRS, I try to catch him off guard by rushing him with clown car to try and jump out and satchel but it doesn't work.
I am ahead in gas so I get /my 2nd 76 out and have them spaced out so he is hesistant to push which I end up taking advantage of with a PTRS penal satcheling from behind and clean up with 76.
Little later do the same thing to his 2nd P4 but use AT overwatch for the kill. At this point he switches to PG spam with shreks to deal with my tanks and I use katy to counter but not really successful. I Decide to make flame tank since I have tank advantage, flame tank does its job as it bounces some shreks and causes retreats. I then push him again with tank into base and katy at same time, was unable to wipe but at this point he is MP starved. He brings rest of army to try and kill off KV8 but I protect with 76s. On his last retreat I finally wiped 3-4 squads. GG
Possible Bug:
Radio intercept does not notify when 250/1 is built. |
|
How about ammo toggle like Sherman?
HE rounds can have reduced range like 40 and remove barrage. |
Not sure if intended or a bug but if a weapon crate is picked up with Penal squad that is merged with conscript nothing happens. My guess is game "arms" conscript models with SVT even though they should already have it due to merge.
Happens at about 6 mins.

Started game with conscript, Penal, Clown car. Usual harass and decap while I build more Penal squads. Once I hit CP2 called in weapon crate for SMG penal and call in Dshka. Just kept pressuring and gas stealing so that I could rush T3476. At about 20 mins had sizeable lead 3 tanks and Katy vs 1 P4J
At this point I start to fuck up.
Hit him his tank with AT strafe and rushed his base with 3 tanks to chase and kill. Got the kill but lost all 3 tanks and now my gas and MP advantage is mostly gone. From here on I am getting minimal kills with Katy and his fall are getting Vet to deal with my infantry. I am winning in points but his army is slowly getting stronger.
Finally, my katy starts connecting and getting more kills/wipes so he gets more jumpy and I catch him out of position a few times with either AT strafe or 76 blob.
He tries to hold out for a 3 tank army but his points at this point were to low and I get the win.
POSSIBLE BUG SIGHTING:
At 6 minutes I tried to pick up weapon crate with Penal squad that was merged with conscripts and the weapon crate did nothing. Did it twice to check and then called a 3rd and captured with different squad to see if it was unit or game bug. |

I will respond to scorched earth policy since I have been using it lately.
You are thinking and using it wrong. You should be setting it up on important enemy flags not your own. The damage is a nice bonus but the meat of the ability is a minute or more of being unable to recap. So if you get the enemy gas or cutoff they are screwed for a bit. Do they keep the unit around until they are able to cap or commit to somewhere else. Also, it only stops resource generation when triggered.
The ability is cheap and annoying as hell, booby trap is nice but its good to see different things so the game doesn't get stale. |

Decided to try this commander again, played with it once didn't like it but wanted to give it another try.
Went with Conscript, T1, Penal , clown car opening for decap and scouting. After a early decap of enemy gas got caught out of position by enemy Fussi, byebye scoutcar. Kept testing his gas with my penals and eventually made shock trooper. Little did I know he went for luchs and inflicted some bleed on me along with wiping a Penal with a lucky nade. Against my better judgement I made a T70, which I suck with, and tried to do some bleeding of my own. He in turn makes puma and kills my t70 after I am caught out of position.
At this point things aren't looking the best, he has infantry and vehicle advantage however he isn't making the most of it so I am able to beat him to the first tank.
I am able to hold out to a KV1 and am the first with med/hvy tank out. Slowly able to use the tank to inflict loses and push him back while I build my MP up to make 2nd KV1 and B4. From there he doesn't really have an answer for me, the KV1's are able to bounce some hits and keep him in place while B4 damages and suppresses. Eventually, I catch him out of position probably due to chaos of artillery and destroy both LV along with Jagdpanzer. He decides to make a Jagdtiger which isn't really able to do much due to constant repositioning caused by Recon flight and fear of arty.
He makes a Panther and decides to push, PTRS penal satchel and B4 punish him along with KV1 rush. His panther survives but at this point my KV1 have all survived and 2 are Vet3. I whittle him down more and win.
Thoughts:
I understand why people are so emotional about this commander. B4 suppression area is wide as hell and recon flight allows one to get the most out of the B4.
KV1 works great with Penal/Shocks, less micro is required on tank so allows better infantry play for lower level players such as myself.
Mother Russia works great with Penal shocks, was able to chase down tank destroyer and satchel it along with just being able to catch enemy out of position due to recon.
This commander has all useful abilities and frankly a little too strong if you ask me. Each match is different but it is easy to see why the commander is picked so much. |

Decided to use my favorite commander, I know its not the strongest but for me it is the funnest.
Started with conscript for early capping with T1 for penal and scout car. Once scout car was out I killed his kubel and went with some decapping and more penals. Pushed him back hard and controlled/contested both fuel points. Once I got 2 CP airdropped weapon crate and dshka. At this point early concript is paying off with crewing/merge to help with mp bleed.
I then used favorite mainline(PPSH Penal) for clown car antics and eventually found his schwerzer in middle of construction, shot it and finished it off with satchel. At this point game is going heavily in my way with m5 quad providing mobile suppresion on one side of the map while dshka does the other. Later got lucky and found his building again, shot at it with t3476 and yolo'd my clown car to throw a satchel and finished it off.
Game was pretty much over at this point, I would poke and prod his infantry with my t3476 while katy did heavy lifting. He did manage to destroy one but i was so far ahead in gas I dont think he wanted to risk his only tank. Go him a couple times with AT strafe for good measure but no kills with it.
Overall, I think it is a fun commander that is a little different from the other soviet. At strafe is a little to strong if you do get it to hit on the rear but it does take quite a bit of luck for it. Maybe make it twice as wide but half the damage so it is more consistent but not overly punishing for MED tank users. |

What mode you talking about?
In 1v1 its probably to keep pressure up, not sure why in team games especially if a player goes for penals. |

Went with usual 4 penal to commissar build due to pure gren opening from opponent. I guess he didn't realize that gren start weak compared to penal and proceeded to blob his gren to beat me. No big deal once Commissar hits the field, buffs and fear propaganda help a lot. I was in control for most of the game, had unlucky bounces/misses with t3476 but like I have said before live t3476 die by the t3476.
Nothing special aside from the guy complaining that I was blobbing. Cant say I wasn't but he started it just did a horrible job of it.
Thoughts:
G43 gren blob seems to be a lot more potent then LMG blob. G43 can get retreat wipes while I don't fee lmg grens are as consistent.
Panzer Grens are beastly up close, got a penal squad wiped and almost a 2nd one fighting over a decrewed mg.
Stalling for heavy tanks seems like a bad idea, so much map control and pressure is lost unless you are already dominating. Doesn't seem like comeback card it used to be.
For anybody who watches did you think I was living that blob life? |

Started with Penal then clown car build, noticed he made kubel wagen so chased it down to prevent back capping. Went with my normal 4 penal build to commissar. I have been terrible with t70 so went with m5 quad to suppress and keep his decapping in check.
Opp made Batttle groupe and then went mechanized and decided to build a puma. Since my clown car was still alive I decided to use my quad as bait and catch him with a ptrs clown car. Would be a good trade for me since my t3476 would be unopposed once it hit the field unless he made another Puma.
Started to pressure him with decapping and Penal with commisar buffs along with fear propoganda, got a couple wipes and steam rolled from there.
Some thought:
I really like the commander, all the abilities are useful and have a place although KV8 is probably better for team games were team mate can make up for lack of at.
Radio intercept I feel works great with T1, allows you to know if LV is made so you can proactively get PTRS to counter. IF you can keep your m3 alive even better.
Commissar is really good unit with great abilities. Behind green cover, Penal with buff can trade great with any unit. I try to use a Vet2 against elite infantry due to already having bonuses. Against mainline I like to buff lower vet squad since they can drop enemy models quickly to vet up.
Didn't use scorched earth this match, however in my prior match I got enemy cutoff with it. Ability doesn't do much damage but the inability to decap for about a minute throws opp off balance.
AT overwatch helps shitty T3476 deal with heavier tanks.
