Dumbest logic ive ever heared.
So if i see a KT. i shouldnt go t4 for jacksons? by ur logic, i shoulndt be forced to tech to jacksons
If i see p47's i shouldnt go Flak HT to shoot them down? By ur logic, i shouldnt have to get a flak HT
If i see snipers, i shouldnt rush a luchs or scout car? By ur logic i shouldnt have to do this
If i see maxim sapm i shouldnt go stuka? By ur logic, i should just let the maxims gain vet
If i see con spam, i shouldnt get an mg? By, ur logic i should just let the cons overwhelm me
Sorry to burst ur bubble. But this is how this game works
Actually it not how the game works, how you respond to a threat is your choice, some factions have more than one answer so do not, but for such a basic game mechanic as already stated you should not have to go to such a level. so lets try this.
1.No you're not forced to, but it is the obvious choice.
2.No again Flak HT is not your only option so again you're not being forced to.
3.No you have other options so very many in fact, that again your not forced to.
4.No this is not your only counter to maxim spam you have many other options.
5.No again this is not your only option, you have many counters, and by well known fact an mg in CoH2 would be one of the stupidest things to get. A complete waste of MP.
So for the question at hand if your opponent is entering every building possible at the start of engagements in the early game with the most basic of units should you be FORCED to pick a tier to counter that?
FYI By your logic, basically all OKW build orders should be flat lined to rely on FLAK HT if there is even one house on the map. Which logic sounds stupider now?
