A slow ass unarmed light armour truck drives across the map to spend 2 minutes slowly demolishing a house and suddenly the game is a joke?

You got outplayed son

Would it be any different if it was done to an opponent using a tank with a damaged main weapon? Obviously not driving around the whole thing but in the sense of trying to finish building off to kill squad leaving the tank to retreat to safety for repairs.

Y'know when I was younger I saw an accident where a truck had gone through the front of a house and was only stopped by the retaining wall on the side of the property. It's odd how large vehicles tend to do that isn't it.

Are you two kidding me? Lmao you are both total morons.

This shouldn't be possible

if you think it is you need to check into a mental health clinic


What else can OKW do against buildings in early game?

If you truck abuse, you deserve to burn in hell.

Simple as that.

It's not abuse if it was intended by devs. Learn to play.

Lesson: don't get inside houses when an SwS is nearby crushing the walls.

You can always go 3 Cons AT nade against someone who uses SwS agressively.

It's sorta sad people defending this tactic, it's really frustrating to play against. I highly doubt this was ever supposed to be used as an offensive threat before it's built into anything(if I'm wrong please link some sources so I know). When it's the beginning of the game you don't have many troops to take this thing on as well as the other OKW units rushing toward you. Having a truck demolishing a key building is just abuse, or when the truck is constantly moving between you and and your cover breaking up your unit formations causing them to just run around getting shot at by volks/sturm/kubel. It's noob play and I doubt it'll ever be looked into. At least it's not as durable as it was before.

Sadly as a OKW player you are forced to crush buildings with your trucks, since you can not clear buildings with your units until fuel intensive units arrive.
Every faction has a flame-thrower with exception of OKW.

The OKW is a badly designed faction, almost troll like by design, but blaming the player for using it is pointless.

Verbal articulation has never been my specialty. I apologize for raging.

But I still feel that anyone who makes the argument "OKW doesn't have any other building clearing capabilities" needs to wake up and realize that this is not a reasonable solution. That's like saying "USF doesn't have any heavy tanks so let's just make all their mediums stupidly OP".

Btw vs OKW in 2v2 it's usually my normal modus operandi as Soviets to go AT nades as soon as I see a truck abuser but this particular match I attempted to deviate from that plan, and was severely punished for doing so.

I don't think you're forced to do it, you choose to do it because it gives you an advantage in game. I find using sturmpioneers right next to the building chews up whatever is garrisoning it pretty quickly, but I'm only talking about the first few engagements of the match not all game cause that would leave sturms pretty vulnerable to squad wiping vehicles and upgraded infantry.

It was not in this replay, but against a maxim that wouldn't work and against Riflemen you run in danger to have a squad wipe. Especially on maps like Semoski this can be really hard to deal with, since the LeIG takes far too long to clear any building.

You can do it with every vehicle in the game, except the Kubel (practiced crushing with M3s, M20s and even ambulance).
I'm not sure if it's the size of the Kubel or the properties, so if the Kubel has something magical avoiding house crush, you could give it to the other light vehicles IF this was intended.

Please refrain from saying dumb shit in this thread.

Well my problem with the fact is that the sWs truck is actually a pretty durable vehicle; it has 100 more HP than the M3A1 (vs less DPS early game units i.e. Cons and RE), their target size is similar, and you get one right as the game begins for free, and if you lose it you get another one for free 3 minutes later, which most smart OKW players will go MG34 to help tide them over till it arrives. Very little risk for the ability to completely destroy houses within first 3 minutes of game. Allies don't have anything that does that for free.

If this was truly intended, I'd like to hear it from the devs personally.
