Para vs USA how could this happen

Holy crapola. That was insane. Best comeback ever.

This game shows you exactly how good OKW is when played with uber mind. How can he win with only a tiny fraction of the map....lol.

I think it shows how weak OKW is since there was an "uber-mind" commanding them but has only a tiny fraction of the map.

Great game though.

Yet he was able to win the game with simply a fraction of the map as OKW. Which makes your statement invalid. Imagine if he had at least half the map as OKW, bet it would hurt more. OKW is the strongest faction atm.

It was nice to see OMGPOP's defensive play-style, as he is usually 100% aggressive. Think the biggest problem here, other than the lack of arty due to doctrine choice, was the fact that Para piece-mealed all his tanks instead of building up a big force to send in and finish the game.

You might be right. Still, every faction can have a come-back. The fact that he lost so much map control despite being a top player also suggests that OKW is not as powerful as you're claiming. My statement isn't "invalid", it's just not possible to prove it (or the opposite opinion) with this replay.

I can agree the comeback suggests the opposite though.

USA lost so much map control because of mistakes he did early in the game including 1. keeping his kubel unsupported at the same spot for too long 2. losing his puma to a mine 3. and losing his hq building so early. On the other hand Para gave him the win by not getting the m8a and constantly rushing and losing his tanks.


edit: sorry I clicked report by mistake on one of the comments

I often think people cut their own throat by spamming m8a, in this case you cut your own throat by not getting it. A single m8a would give you the auto barrage feature at 60 range to kill the infantry around the center vp and would give you the barrage ability to harass his ats and pak43 from 80 range.
