Got slapped bad but fun game

Havent played in a few days fet matched up with this guy. Just saw a cast with him so I knew I was in for an ass whipping. I did fairly well for the first 10-12 mins but several mistakes and his superior skill beat me down.

I saw he had elite armor so I guessed that he was gonna rush car. I tried to take his gas but he pushed me back sent another unit around and when he pushed I decapped. He rushed out car and I hung out in building to reduce damage which he also sent sturm to help with. I scared them both off and started decaping. I eventually got 4 penals which did decent since he rushed car he was low on infantry. I get ptrs to kill his car which I do but he kills my car also and gets my engi due to lack of micro. He rushes mg which causes me to make some key mistakes, I call in Airborne Guards and force a retreat and cause him to reposition. I also push his gas and see single MG so I call in ANOTHER Airborne. At this point I have 6 INF squads and also called MG. Even though I have great map control I have no MP and this many units is gonna stress micro. I get him off guard and push his in progress schwerer. I rush penal in and get off satchel but forced to retreat and have no muni. I bring in SMG penal wipe his VG and kill MG but I cant do damage to schwerer so need to retreat. Finally PTRS Penal make it but they don't fire and decide to move in a bit closer, they fire and get him down to 1 pixel of health but his strums beat me back and I can't destroy it. At this point we are about even in K/D but I am massively behind in MP and TECH so I need to save MP which gives him time to get the OBER spam rolling and steal the map back. By the time I get T34 out he has counters and I am unable to get any momentum back. He proceeds to steam roll me with his Ober play and P4J. GG

My plan was to get Schwerer since I have seen others use similar strat of stalling for 2-3 Obers, If I got it straight for Katy to deal with support weapons while inf mop up and make SU85 since KT would be on the menu. Fun game hope you guys like it.

EDIT: Looking back my biggest mistake was calling in unneeded MG due to his inf vs mine. That 50 muni would have been what I needed to get HQ building. At that point I could have calmed myself down reinforced and stuck to my strat. The 6 INF squads was a bit much but I would have been able to make it work especially if I could steal or destroy his RAKS.
