On that map,The pit was fine, it was in his base, and couldve reached the middle VP. his bofors placement was awful, and he didnt have advanced emplacements to make up for it.

Watching it you outplayed him pretty hard really, you couldve been more efficient but you took them out.
Only thing i can say is use the mortar halftrack, normal mortar AND some paks if they go that heavy on emplacements, especially if you see BOFORS first, which means he cant really respond to your Mortar halftrack with anything mobile until a cromwell comes out. Except when he plays advanced emplacements and can counter battery you to shit, but thats a different story

You had spearhead doctrine so.... could've been an Ez game, ez life. Which it kinda was anyway, so wp.

(Dont do anything I said vs advanced emplacements)

moved to coh2 balance

There is no difference in DPS. The stats are exactly the same.

Regarding which one to buy, pick whatever's convenient for you. Vickers K does indeed sound more epic and aims a hair faster.

The Vickers K costs 35-40 fuel to field but comes with a MOBILE reinforcement platform.

Brens only cost 15 fuel, but you need to spend more manpower to get an accompanying forward reinforcement that obviously can't move like a halftrack can.

It all depends on what you want to do really.

Rush the church

with your starting section so this doesnt happen.

Attacking the fuel

If youre gonna do this, bring your vickers with you so your sections dont get bodied.



Relying on those AT sections was ballsy and led to you floating waiting on 2cp. Really as brits you always need the AT gun before you buy any emplacement(unless its the advanced emplacement bofors)or the sniper. Without it, and then the follow up mortar pit, the brit early game is just way too weedy.

really just as I watch this game..I ponder and wonder, Why no emplacements? playing without them, makes it really much more difficult than it needs to be.

They're your indirect, your anti garrison, your anti stalemate, your 100 range schewer hq. They prevent your expensive infantry from bleeding more than they need to. They're everything. They're the essence of life itself.

Your float gave me cancer

You seem to be allergic to making economic choices, last time I watched your replay, you did the same thing.

You had 800-900 manpower forever. Buy some caches. Buy a doggone emplacement.

one pit here where the Sync error message is couldve covered the middle vp top VP and munitions, basically winning you the game.
Probably couldve slapped their cutoff with a few 3 inch shells too.

Im not saying buy advanced emplacements doc and spam emplacements like a **** head, but god bless, at least get 1 pit each.
The first emplacement didnt come up until doggone near the 40 min mark and it was from ur teammate. Naturally, it got vet 3 in like 45 seconds and gave decent influence over the middle.

Yeah you had the most kills, most damage and won the game but losing 241 models, leading the game in units lost as BRITS vs OKW and ostheer is unheard of. even during losses. The ostheer player picked a super bad doctrine as well and basically threw the game, in my opinion. even though to be fair he made an epic play on your sniper with his stg stormtroopers.

Gr8 play

Just buy a pit or two and literally that game would've ended in your favor in 25 mins flat.

To answer your questions,

Is Special Weapons a competitive commander? Yes
Is it worth using "Hold the line" or offmap arty?the arty offmap is one of the best HQ killers in the game. It doesnt kill them outright anymore but it still leaves them pretty lit.

I was always starved for munitions so didn't try either ability.Probably because you let them have double muni all game because you didnt go pits or even muni caches
Are the UKF grenades always as bad as they seemed to be in this match?If you ever tech british nades over a cache and emplacements ever again im gonna reach through your computer screen and slap you with a noodle. Pretend section nades dont exist.
I lost a bunch of Cromwells. Should I have tried getting some Comets out? See above...get some damn pits out
I used tank hunter infantry a lot. Are they normally considered okay?Pair them with pyrotechnics supplies instead of the medic upgtade and you got yourself a quality AT squad

Also ONE final thing, I direct you to another brick of text


Test the build orders here for your early game.

literally every vehicle flamer and its accompanying DOT do the same damage.

Yeah, the UC does the same damage as the hetzer. Yes the they all have identical modifiers against the different cover types.

next time, If theres something you dont understand, visit the state office and ask about it there first at least. locked.
