The problem is Brits have now zero option as basic indirect fire to counter mgs/static defense. ZERO INDIRECT FIRE OPTION
How the brits player is supposed to counter a static position such as mg?
Mortar pit? Sniper? nothing really
You just have to get 3 IS and hope to be able to flank etc which is not supposed to be the way combined arms should work.
i can imagine sniper beeing good because of the small troop size of axis mg teams, 3 sniper shoots and he will lose the mg, so effectivily he needs to retreat every mg after 2 sniper shoots. |
Iron sharpens iron, only way to improve is play against those who are better than you. I like playing against top 50 opponents =)
you are top200 or so , u get matched vs top 10 even if ur rank 1500 or 2000. and there is such a big skill gap that both parties wont learn anything from eachother. if that would be the case, every matchmaker in every game would match noobs vs pros. im pretty sure thats why they invented ELO systems, to create fair matchups. |
One even called them cockroaches cuz they hang around the building and multipling.
haha good one made my day sir |
Teach me how to defeat brits, I will teach you how to defeat Soviets with ultimate cheese Kappa.
u need hans, the mighty sniper. or was hans the one driving the ketten? |
I know I shouldn't wind up this much, but after losing to Brits 5 times in a row and then getting my ass handed to me by the Rank 3 British player, is just pure evil relic matchmaking drama
it sucks but thats how it is. im doing great vs brits but im like on a 10 games losing streak versus russians.. i know that feel bro |
its needed against sniper, leig and panther spam

You pretty much do what you'd do with grens, except you get them on field faster and in bigger number, get HMG42 and go for cutoff camp, fast T2 into HT and thats basically it, rarely games last longer.
ty will try that out if i got the commander!
I'll skip MG early on (as your first units), as you want to be aggresive with the sniper with your gren/pios backing up. Preference and map.
I'll say 222 is fine as long as you're aggressive with it by denying any counter harassment and pushing/harrasing Tommies.
It's really important to account for number of units and map presence. You should know by the number of IS/MG/RE/UC when a sniper might show up and when to expect the Centaur.
222 is all about the timing, if it comes to late its 99% useless. i like the mg start personally, u can go very aggressive with it and its a nice safe zone for ur sniper to work. check out the finals, i think there was always a mg in the buildorder vs brits. buts its personal prefence surely

I've heard about that bug too, but never seen it personally. My tellers always seem to do their job if detonated. Invaluable for slowing down a Centaur.
Riflenades are epic against Brits in cover. Seriously. Just make sure to fire them off during large engagements where the Brit player probably won't notice the one Grenadier kneeling amidst the larger chaos, and try to have a flanking squad or squad on the periphery shoot them. Also, try aiming at a piece of cover before the Brit troops actually reach it to cut down on the time he has to dodge.
im sorry but there are no large fights in the first 9mins or so. yes shooting in the path or at the cover can work, but honestly most players did see that coming because they knew i wont fire a grenade at them when they are running towards a cover. it still can win fights because the cover gets nullified for some seconds. and yes there are 3 possibilitys i saw: 1. mine will detonate but no crit 2. mine will just sit there looking at the bottom of the tank 3. mine do its job. centaur seems to have the most hover power(but maybe its just subjective because centaurs are in every game)
Use osttruppen for unlimited amount of autowins unless you fight top 50 players.
care to tell me the tactics? never used osttruppen. u just outcap him or what?

I'm not ok with the don't lay mines, you should always lay mines
Anyways great BO to counter brits
im rally a great fan of mines, but tbh i find myself having trouble upgrading all my 3 grens with lmg (its a must buy vs british inf, really), using 1-2 rifle nade in early game and then have some spare munitions for mines.only when im having excellent mapcontrol i will spam mines. and again mines are VERY VERY VERY risky against british, because they often just hover it. check it out, reported many times from many persons and saw and raged about it myself |

Stay aggressive.
Successfully getting out a Centaur at the earliest possible point (around the ten-eleven minute mark) requires the Brit to have minimal manpower bleed, meaning no more than 3 infantry sections and no upgrades, and a lockdown hold on at least one fuel and a decent portion of the map.
Don't let him do that. Spread out, and challenge his capping power at all points of the map. Use riflenades to punish him for diving into green cover. Rifle nades and teller mines should be your main muni expenditures in the early mid game. Also, Flamer Pios and a mortar- he wants that green cover? Blast him out and burn him out.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but a sniper is absolutely necessary against Brits- if for no other reason than that any competent Brit player will have a sniper of their own and you'll have to countersnipe. 222 simply wastes fuel that could be going toward your Stug and Ostwind.
you dont get gren lmg? im doing pretty good against brits with mg-gren sniper as 3rd or 4th unit and then a gren again. dont lay mines, most british vehicles dont care to much about them, rifle nades are often a waste vs competent players too, animations needs alot of time and 90% of my rifle nades gets dodged. tech fast to t2 and get a 222, with the mapcontrol and man power drain he wont have something to counter the 222 for atleast 30-60sec, its the tiny window where u can cut him off. after that get a pak (or 2 if u think centaur is near) and get atleast 2 stugs, best paired with a ostwind. i dont bother to tech panthers because their dps and pen vs churchills are shit,2 stugs on the other hand take care 1 churchill. |
