I cant show u how to counter truck pushing.
When I play as USF and SOVIET I never got truck push till death.
(but not in north of road to Kharkov))
I know that it is counterable, I've countered it. That's not relevant--it's the principal. If you pay nothing for a unit, it should not be an effective combat unit. |
but instead truck killing award about 2000 exp, enough for any units to gain veteran.
I'd support reducing or eliminating the exp award, but free units winning fights simply isn't reasonable. |
|
A free unit shouldn't be deciding engagements, full stop. If truck pushing is indeed a legitimate tactic, then trucks should cost. |

You made a series of small-to-middling sized mistakes against an opponent who punished you, and RNGesus frowned upon you. This is how the game should work. Next time you should stagger your retreats or unblob at your medical base ASAP. (Or protect w/mines. Or avoid getting mass-suppressed in the first place.) |
Vehicles are a different story and what you said can be applied to PZIV also vs IS2.
Yes, exactly. A P4 beating an is2 is also crazy. So you must agree that simply attaching tech costs to unit cost is absurd. |
Dismissing tiering cost for units like Obers is wrong especialy when you compare them with units that don't require extra resources for tiering because they are just call-ins.
So then t-34/76s (50 fuel + 120 fuel + 100 fuel) should outperform Tiger Is (230 fuel)? |
Because OKW get absolutely nothing good for that first 120 fuel...
LOL. With his math a t-34 should be better than a Tiger I. 50 + 120 + 100 vs 230 |
Hmmm I'm very surprised at the results of the poll! Nip is most definitely a racial slur and was used to garner hatred against the Japanese during world war II. Most western countries considered the Japanese to be small, weak and not suitable for soldiering. The British didn't think the Japanese could take Singapore and severely underestimated the Japanese soldiers capabilities. Going so far as to say that perhaps the Japanese could fight Chinese soldiers who were just as terrible as the Japanese but against the might of the British Empire they have no chance.... Well look how Singapore turned out. The United States were shocked when it came down to fighting island to island against nearly always fanatical enemies.
The earliest occurrence of the ethnic slur was probably in the Time magazine of 5 January 1942. The American, British, and Australian entry of the Pacific Ocean theatre of World War II heightened the use of racial slurs against the Japanese, such as jap and nip.
Generals in the south west pacific went so far as to say Nips are just vermin for exterminating.
In fact most of the terms that the Allies used were for the very purpose of instilling hatred of the enemy in the troops, including the term Kraut (a reference to sauerkraut or them sauerkraut eating Germans). It was particularly favoured by the Americans, the British preferred the term Jerry or sometimes Fritz.
That's what a little research has shown me.
"Nip" seems a lot less ambiguous than "Jap." There were some positive uses of "Jap" before the war. According to wikipedia a road in Jefferson County Texas was called "Jap Road" in honor of the Mayumi brothers (who brought rice farming to the county.) This apparently was regarded as enough of a compliment that the Mayumi Bros' descendants resisted the efforts of Japanese-American groups to get the name changed. ASFAICT "Nip" never had a complimentary use.

Except your point would not wash, I think, if I wrote certain British Forces colloquial terms of the period wrt to people from the Middle East or thereabouts - which I am not going to.
The name of Guy Gibson's dog is central to this kind of argument, I think: it was the genuine code word for a successful attack on the German dams - it is pretty well all in, or all out. But if you retrospectively apply conventions which are 70 years on, you will get get mired in controversies which simply did not exist at the time .
That's a fair point. I think that it becomes a question of focus--a historical work should include the bad with the good, but it shouldn't go out of its way to shock or offend. So a work centered upon the British presence in the Middle East should deal with their various imperfections, casual racism included, as well as their very real heroism. But a work centered upon Europe shouldn't just throw that stuff in there without really dealing with it.

In the game the US and soviet Units calling the Germans "krauts" is this also racistic? Relic have no Problems with it it seems.
There's a big difference between units/characters in the game using those words and us (modern people talking on a forum) using those words. I'd say that the first is necessary for an accurate representation of the time period whereas the second is just people being rude.
That said, it is a bit odd to enforce what appears to be an Australian/New Zealand/Canadian/American thing on a global forum. |
