I kinda love this ability... incredibly useful in the lategame whenever you lack manpower or infantry presence on the field ( either lost or sitting in base). I once have won an incredibly close game by capping VP's with an IS2. |
Ya know, lately i was experimenting just what you said here (or anyway, the bigest part). Getting jacksons instead of anything else. But instead 1919s I used regular BARed infantry. And hand grenades of course. Directly teching to captain, ignoring Lt, what you just described. Maybe it's childish, but I built several pathfinders. 2-3 pathfinder blobed squads do a surprising damage to any enemy infantry. Currently, exept for the thing that they can't be spammed from houses and used properly I think they are as good as JLIs at killing infantry. I should give it a try with that 1919 thing though i hate that doctrine because: priest is highly inaccurate and slow, 1919 rifle squad is so vulnerable in front of ostheer rifle nades and balistics, USF mortar Ht is shitty as hell, and so on.
I love the inf doctrine. LMG's give decent firepower (although it does take time for the dps to come in), Priest is amazing, Mortar halftrack sucks, Field defenses are always nice to have (spontaneous sandbags) and the arty strike is the okw - truck - to - half - health - buster. |
The thing is that every people have a different feeling, opinion about the game.
But to be honest the difference that we can see, a clear difference is the rank.
Between a guy top 2 in ladders and a guy top 500 ...
I don't say that i have more the truth than him for exemple but maybe His feelings of the game are more bad because he loose.
And my feelings are good because i win and win, win, win, lost the connection, win Kappa
stop bragging with ur rank alrdy. and writing kappa in a forum thread doesnt make much sense |
i play this game at a skill level that puts me somewere between 200 and 1500 on the ladder depending on practice.
as of this fact i feel that i have very little to say about the balance of this game. the skill range of my opponents is variating so much in my ladder game that it is just impossible for me to judge wich part of the outcome of a game comes from imbalances and wich comes from luck, strategy or differences in skill.
if i was able to judge the balance of this game it would automaticly put me in a way higher position on the ladder. it is simply impossible to have such a deep knowlage of this game that you are able to notice the nuances that diferenciate the factions in terms of strength and still and be ranked below lets say position 50 on the ladder.
my guess would be that a lot of people that have posted here might be as incompetent judging balance in this game as i am - making most of the ongoing discussion pointless.
thanks for the elaborate explanation of why you cant judge balance. |

Ok my fellow balance specialists.
Tell me how to exactly win vs OKW as USF unless you smash him in the first 5 minutes.
Playing against med truck OKW is a nightmare. Youre trying to do fancy tactics, smokes, combined arms, vehicles and everything....and all he does is throwing cheap schreck volks at you, later covered by Obers and a Panther. And a luchs if youre unlucky.
It really isnt that much of a problem when playing Soviets, as you have plenty of nasty things in your arsenal to do to the OKW scumbag.
Honestly, i find OKW incredibly easy to play myself. In 1v1 alone im sitting at +12 streak. The last win was vs ironroman.
And every single time i try to make USF work, it doesnt work. I run into med truck infantry spam play, and now matter how many volks i kill, 3 new will come. Its really frustrating.
Strats pls |

Jagd tiger +4% penetration bulletin, I have two , love these trolletins
PS:for those who don't know, JT has 500pen at max range meanwhile the best allied tank has only 375 frontal armor(JS-2)

Because, just like your posts, it doesn't make any sense to anyone that isn't completely detached from reality.
whats your problem man. youre toxic 99% of the time. its over the top. |

i find okw so easy, honestly... i find usf to be rather lacking in case you dont execute your early game perfectly. ostheer is a stable and solid army but prone to getting overrun. soviets are amazingly good. |
Currently OH Sniper dies accidentally caught on a snag 80-90% of the time. So this is not even soft counter.
experiences may vary. snipers are so nasty vs usf |
