It suppoused to be spammed, it designed to be spammed, that's problem! MG-42 doesn't need to be spammed for to perform effectively, Vikkers doesn't need to be spammed for to perform effectively, but Maxim does, because of "assymetrical balance" and wierd design ideas.
Maxim right now it "Osttrupen" of HMG, so poor designed it is.
Speak for yourself.
Cons + Maxim support has always been effective, and is still good now. What makes you think the Maxim is designed to be spammed with only other Maxims? Why would you want it to be?
I would like to know what i could have done better early in game.. I threw it at the end as i dint know what to do..
So the game starts and you saw he went a sniper, you don't need to get a vickers. You want to have more infantry to push off the sniper, and he's not going to have enough infantry for you to need an mg. This really fucked you when you teched up and got a sniper. You just don't have enough squads to send out capping, should have got an engineer unit and sent him to the east. For the first 8 minutes of the match neither you nor your opponent even tried to cap the East. What a waste. You can send one squad and grab all of that. Throughout the whole match you never even tried to take the East. He never had it defended.
Losing the bren was bad, just avoid the grens with it. It's got shit accuracy when it's moving, so you will have to get lucky chasing the sniper like that. Just use it to keep pushing his squads around from long range. At this point you bought another sniper. Bro. You need infantry, stop getting support units. Get engineers so you can cap. Once the AEC comes out you still didn't have engineers, so it just got fausted and sat there not doing anything.
Push his cut off. It would have been so simple, he never had any units in the East. Please man, you need to use your infantry. Another vickers... why? You don't need 4 support units and only 2 squads of real infantry. This is why your opponent won, because he actually had the infantry to cap stuff. Then you got a mortar pit.... You could have teched up and got a cromwell long before he had any tanks.
In the end by the time your crocodile came out you had 600 manpower and 400 fuel float. One crocodile is good, 2 cromwells 5 minutes ago is better. It got surrounded by the other guy's tanks and killed, that's how it goes. The guy guy teched up and had infantry, that is why he won.
Random tips:
Don't get so many support weapons.
Send a cheap squad to cap the other side of the map.
Get Royal engineers early, they are amazing. You can use them to cap, too.
Try not to retreat your snipers so early. Only when they are in real danger.
Try to take the opponents cutoff so he loses all of his income.
Replace your infantry squads when you lose them.
Why is the poll so biased again? Nobody is ok with current mortars, but in most cases only becouse of usf mortar bug. Mods, can we have something like biased poll report button?
No, because then i would get banned for my Hotchkiss thread
Some times you have to start anew, if you merely want to get an idea of your actual skill level, which is directly linked to you win/loss ratio.
Otherwise you just have to win all of yo matches till your w/l ratio is balanced around %65-%70.
Imagine someone having 500 losses and 500 wins. Yes a hard road that can be cut short by buying the game again (on sale now) and start playing more competitively.
That's awful advice, how would that help at all? Beating up on noobs with a smurf account wont help you improve.
Switch it up a bit, try some new commanders and strats. Take a break from the game if you want, it's not worth getting burned out on the game. You're just going to need practice to get better at this point. You can't really shortcut it.
Would love if the 45mm light AT-gun could be given the same gun as a t-70. Make it decent against both lights and a unique gun that can help with infantry, when it loses its usefulness against vehicles.
Why can we only veto 4 maps out of all current maps? Semoisky is a must so thats 1 gone already, minsk is another so thats 2 vetos you have left.
If you haven't played Minsk since the last update, they made significant changes to the map. It is much better now, give it a try. Lost Glider deserves your veto far more.
