Thank you for not having your bar brawl in this thread.

I've used this doctrine a few times now, and I have to say that it always ends losing to tanks unless I go T2 anyway.

But my playstyle isn't rushy and for someone with a more offensive style it may be different.

I'd like to see replays of successfull early advances with this doctrine.

I suppose this does not come as a surprise to anyone, but....in team games think about what happens if more than one player goes Tiger Ace?

Germans allready sweep the floor with tanks if they manage to hold on to end game. It's hard enough to stem the Steel Train allready. Throw in two Tiger Ace and it's absolutely non sensical.

The problem IMO is not so much that it is hard to counter. I trust that counters have been tested and found viable. What bugs me is more that it transforms the gameplay into something completely different.

From being a squad based game based on combined forces meeting eachother in an intriguing rock-paper-scissors kind of game, it turns into a 'Sink the Bismarck' kind of a game. Everything is about destroying ONE particular unit.



Now, counters: I read that ram is possible? I just tried and as well ram as AT nades failed completely from behind and sides. Plus it is almost impossible to get within nading range.

Is this unit like every other tank wrt chance of ram and AT nades failing? Or does it somehow have a better chance of repelling those two counters?

you still can't afford to go mortars when facing assgrens.
guards is the best choice to take down bunkers, and they remain useful as light vehicle counters afterwards.
same for ZiS but it forces you T2

Point taken, but guards also forces you into specific commanders.

Greed of possesion is what is ruining you.

Who said you have to have every single commander?

Buy the one or two you need. Screw the rest.

I'm referring to the fade in the event announcement (e.g. 'One of our squads has been.....[inaudible]' Say what? They were run over by a truck? Or have they been nominated for an Oscar? Pray tell).
