I really like OKW and i was quite allright at playing them, got to position 400-something on the ladder but lately i've just been losing and losing and i don't know why. This is my typical OKW vs Soviet game. I start out allright and then the damn mortars come and then the T-34/85's and then it's GG.
I refuse to blob so volksblobs are out of the question, i am bad at handling the flak so i try to keep away from that also. What more can i do? |
I never had it before but today i got it and all of a sudden the mine-explosions are silent. Related or coincidence? |
What is your favourite unit in the game and why?
For me the axis units have more personality, it feels like the allied units are more utility and less flair. The Command Panther, Sturmpioniere, Ostwind... They are more characters to me than say the T-34, Riflemen or the Sherman. Lately i've come to love the puma. It is so nimble and hits so hard, i freaking love that unit, it is my favourite right now. What about you? |
I love using the command panther in tandem with a puma or two. The enemy will probably target your panther as it looks like a bigger threat, that is fine. Stay back with the panther on long range and flank with the puma. This is very effective against all medium tanks and many heavy tanks as well. The puma deals surprisingly big damage, especially with vet, and the command panther can soak up many hits and make the puma even better. This works with a regular panther too.
This is how i use the panthers. Never alone but always in combination with a puma or a jagdpanzer IV. Try to always fight at the edge of your range. |
The puma eats T34's for lunch. You should keep him at range and if possible, attack his flanks. I have been falling in serious love with the puma lately. It's one hell of a machine if used correctly. |
Wow, i had no idea people still played Day of Defeat. That makes me kind of happy. |
there will be more post like these for other items but we want targeted feedback on certain issues on at a time
What happened with this? |
Hey Dane. Do you know of any casts you've done recently that featured the Mobile Defence commander of Ostheer? |
1. Remove shreks from Volks, replace with Fausts (~35muni each).
2. Put shreks on Obers (1 for 60-75muni).
3. Put the OST's Pak on the T2 truck (thing needs a 4th unit, anyway).
4. Make the Raketten-thing not miss 95% of the time.
This.
1. Agreed for 25 MU each (OST fausts are also 25MU)
2. Wut? Shrecks on Obers? I think giving Sturms the shreck upgrade is probably the better solution. Obers really don't need amazing AI AND AT.
3. Why does the medic truck need a 4th unit? If OKW really needed a PaK, why not simply put it into the base building?
4. Yeah, the Raketenwerfer just needs some love. A PaK is not needed for OKW IMO.
And this.
