care to elaborate? just curious
I am referring more into team games. 1v1 is a much different style.
In team games, there are so many factors that come into play. Map, teammates, factions. Commanders.
It's sad but blobbing CAN be so efficient (yet can also be completely smashed) that sending one unit or two units on a flank could just lose you the engagement due to that blob focusing each squad one by one.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't flank, never flanking, its useless! But there is a time and a place for it and other times a massed blob spearhead can crush your enemy when a flank would lose you the battle.
I bet all of us as players have done a "perfect" flank and it was crushed due to abilities (for the fatherland) or an OKW medic truck that you can't destroy so they just come back to the field and push you off.
As for the axis side, they don't have many squads that can flank well or as much as allies. Axis weapon profiles are more or less long range weapons that promote attack move tactics unfortunately Which make it better to basically blob up with 3 LMG grens for example and "mow down Ivan with our MG-42s". (falls, STG obers, Sturmpios, PGs) as kind of the only ones that can.
