In the large maps I generally play it is most useful on Agermunde.

That often turns into a motor battle and being able to reinforce larger squad sizes and not needing to retreat is very helpful.


Also Angermunde is narrow and dense and I've been on the recieving end of leapfrogging FHQs pushing down the side.

Rostov it's also useful, because the decisive area is the town and that is really far away from the spawn spots.


That said, everything else you get from the Commander is pretty meh:

2CP 45mm Pea shooter

4CP Armoured Vehicle Detection

6CP Boobytrap

7CP Incendiry Barrage


Only one of those is really any good and by the time you can launch Incendiry Barrages the list of things that can kill an FHQ is very long.

In the early game the Germans basically have:

Mortars (but because of the FHQ will usually come off worst in such an exchange)

MHTs

MHTs with Incen (which will, as noted mess up the support weapons and possible set fire to the building)

222s and FHTs



Or ignore it and go somewhere else, then come back when you have things that can kill it.


It is useful as part of a concerted strategy in the early to mid game, but it doesn't have anything that can scale into the late game.

And speaking for ranks, while we're at it, it would be lovely to see lolcake rank. If 2000 player has no saying in balance, then this wiking clone should be put into a rocket and launched into the sun.

Don't you love the way it went from:

Could people who disagree and say "it's easily counterable. PLEASE - post a replay where you easily counter it so we can see how to do it. I'll accept any 1v1 replay where you have to beat 4 or more Maxims against a player with a similar level to yours. If you cannot provide such a replay it means you have not / can not do it (either because you rarely play as Germans or because you cannot actually counter it) and your point is invalid.

To:

Any replay with players less than top 500 is not worth watching, (except MNF for a laugh) and shouldn't come to an argument, a noob smashed a noob, congrats.

My strawman sense tells me that goalposts are being shifted

What, people are complaing about Agrens now?



I suggest you further humiliate these people by base-raping them with half a dozen STUG Es

He is Marshall Bruce Mathers cousin, Andrew Homer Mathers right?

More importantly if you run into an elephant and you have no doctrinal arty (which is many commanders), no guards, and need to damage it, the kat is supposed to be able to do some damage to the elephant.

Um, what?
