This is wrong. I've had multiple games today where they come out around the 6~~ min mark (I think i had it out by 5:15 at one point too), at the latest it's 7-8.
How is that wrong?
If you go for T4 unlock, they will appear between 12th and 15th minute.
T-70 when rushed on good map control arrives around 8th-9th minute.
You need half the resources of T-70 to unlock them on life.
On preview you need a third.
That means you can get it 1-2 minutes earlier then you can get them on life.
Also, this is a lot of assumptions? I'm a top 1v1 player, I've experimented with it a lot, and in probably over 30~~ games used the early at-nade-Molo mobilize reserve rush. Even more bizarelly, thinking ostruppen have served their purpose by the 5th minute??? This is now how coh2 works. Ostruppen generally only become useless by the time 7men come out, in any other matchup they are still extremely strong because of their sandbags and their cover bonus. But 7men makes that completely useless
Then you are very well aware of timing when T3 can be put up and how long it takes to get 40 fuel vs 20 fuel.
Now, if you top players, are still mentally capable of building soviet T3 without pretending that T-70 with a build limit of 1 is the only thing it unlocks, I would advise you to check the reality and the timing to unlock 7th man through T3 instead of T4 on life.
You'll find something very interesting about 7man con timing-mainly, the fact that it arrives 20 fuel earlier on preview then life.
Jeez, I'm getting secondhand embarrassment from you. Please for the love of god actually play the preview before shitting up the thread.
You don't need 2nd hand embarrassments.
You're doing a good job all by yourself, like that HMG42 thing where you didn't knew how animations work and thought it doesn't traverse so yeah, pot, meet the kettle.
Just because you know how to drive car very well does not mean you know how the car actually works.
