Hey guys, just played a really fun but frustrating 1v1 on The Pocket and I was holding my own until my opponent busted out an elephant. I couldn't seem to counter. Late in the game I got a ram off but at that point I had been holding out at <100 points for about 10 minutes. I tried to stretch the map around the middle and hold the outside vps, but I just couldn't keep it together.

Here is a link to the replay:

Any ideas on what I could have done better?

When I'm having issues with the local wildlife, I just upgrade my snipers with tranquilizer dart upgrade. They're so easy to deal with once they're immobilized.

Yeah maybe aggressive T70 I don't think T4 is really helpful because of Elefant...I usually try to deny ammo so you don't have as many LMG grens running around, but it's tough, as PzIVs and Ostwinds will control the sides. Dunno nothing really viable in my opinion, so yeah, it's the map.

Eh, Soviet doublesniper (possibly an M3 too. M3 sniper is a beast to deal with on the middle of this map), guards, ton of mines at the sides of the maps -> SU-85 then sit on the fuel is my usual thing for the map. Once an elephant rolls in you have trouble but you can just make it so costly for the Ostheer to do anything that you have a big advantage by that point.

Not a fan of the map but don't think it favours Ostheer more than Soviet T1-4.

Thanks for the advice, I think next time I'll go T1-T4 and try to pressure the german fuel harder, then back tech to t3 for the T34 to ram it if he gets an elefant out.
