Hey guys I got a a game for you guys an interesting 2v2. OKW, Wher and 2 USF.

You really made a few key mistakes

1) Non aggressive counter plays. You needed to play more aggressively early game if you wanted to have an easier more artillery centric late game. This wouldn't be an issue if not for the next point.

2) Your build orders were strange. Getting Rocket artillery before you have a solid armoured force is a risky move. In all the games I've seen and watched it takes incredible Fortune to get artillery before you get a solid armoured force. What's more your partner should have gone for Armour while you went for a Panzerwerfer. They're harder to dodge than Stuka Za fuss' even though they do less burst.

3) Your Elephant sinking cost you that game. Without the Elephant you could no longer keep the American Armour at bay which when combined with all the other elements led to your centre - which was already buckling under the weight of constant assault - collapsing.

4) Just a final point. 10-5 Minutes past before a seingle Medic arrived... that's a lot of wasted manpower.

My I recorded my thoughts like I usually do when giving tips - some of them may be... disjointed. But there may be some I missed.

I'm using them as sweepers and back up forces.

I thow em in buildings and use suppressive fire against everything except MP44 troops in which case I just run.

Overall the unit is a bit pricey for what it does and it's best to avoid using in in combat unless it is supported by riflemen.

This....granted its easier to replace a truck now that its not timer based..but come on how would you feel if a single strike(or a single strike plus a few more small hits) could kill one of your tech structure? Which is what would happen if the HP is lowered.

I'm in favour of the status quo for building health. Arty counters them nicely - if used in conjunction with some armour and infantry, hell even mortars.

However we must remember, the game is player differently at top 150 top 500 and 1000+. as a player who can still get placed in those tier 750 for my pleb faction I can say that a lot of the lower tier players struggle to deal with a bunker until tanks come out...


I think alot of the 1000+ don't build a solid combined arms army (like they spam arty or armour) and wonder how a building backed up by defenders can be so hard to dislodge. I can see why lower tier players could think them OP. Especially if you are only running Sherman's or /34's at em. This can lead to frustration and calls of plz nerf.

Removing the AA-capabilities of the Flak-Base is a must to reach the goal. Wasn't the AA already removed from the Base defences?

I don't believe so all the replays I've watched post patch still have 20mm AA guns in OKW bases.

Because Relic hates light vehicle harassment. (I'm joking)

Edit: Unless pre-December patch games are still working when watched in replays.
