Profile of Affe

Upon returning to the front, Bix was assigned to command a JadgPanther with the 88 L/71 gun. In his most significant action, Bix with his two section mates were defending against a Soviet push. When his two mates ran low on armor piercing ammunition (AP), he sent them back about a mile to establish a final defensive line and took up position to blunt the Soviet attack. He was ordered to hole the village, while the German infantry withdrew, he had 20 AP rounds remaining. Two crews without tanks came up to help him. They would act as infantry and guard against the Soviet infantry or pioneers getting with range to attack the lone tank destroyer.

The Soviets sent forward some T-34s to scout the village, Bix destroyed these immediately. Then the Soviets attacked in strength. Bix ordered his gunner to make every shot count, then started to identify targets. He picked off the lead tank, then selected one near the rear, this caused a traffic jam among the attacking Soviets and Bix’s gunner started picking them off as they appeared. While moving to various different firing positions and allowing his gunner to have access to the Soviets, Bix was able to destroy 16 Soviet tanks and allow the German infantry the opportunity to withdraw.

Next day, he was helping the German infantry in the counter attack. He aided the infantry, destroying many machine gun and anti-tank gun emplacements. A few days later his section was dispatched to assist a Grenadier battalion that was surrounded on an estate near Warsaw. He contacted the commander to determine how to be most effective. He then took his 3 JgPanthers to a small hill and positioned to defend as the sun was rising. Bix assigned his mates to positions on the hill and took the prominent position himself. As the sun rose, the Soviet tanks could be seen moving in the village, Bix positioned himself and ordered his team mates to open fire. During the battle that ensued 19 Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks were destroyed, with Bix accounting for 11. The Grenadier Commander offered Bix his personal Iron Cross First Class in appreciation.

In less that 3 weeks, Bix had destroyed 75 Soviet tanks, for these actions he was awarded the Knight’s Cross in March 1945.

In that interview we had here with questions from staff to Quin Duffy (yes, it was a long time ago) I asked if commander redesign was a possibility and the answer was yeah. I'm not saying they are going to, and I doubt it, but what is your source where they said no.

This game is and always will be a second rate RTS with the fucktarded doctrine design. The newer diverse ones are fine, the original and DCE ones need to be scratched completely and redone because they are complete dogshit and I'm not going to pull any punches.

I think the commanders themselves are fine, it's just that they porbably should've gone for a different business model for them.

The commander system is a complete profit win!

Commander overlap and commander system needs fixing...8 pages of people agreeing (fan feedback)...the effort put in would be easily worth it....everybody wants it....instead of making new factions.....please....
