Pls play more games thats all i can say. You havent even played 100 games yet and making thread like this. You dont even know if axis have static artillery...pfff
I remember watching and playing COH1 and seeing a lot more static artillery being built in that game. Rifle Doctrine would have their howitzer, Brits had Royal Artillery and the Germans had an 88. The players used these artillery options a lot in order to win games.
I haven't seen an ML-120 the entire time I have been playing. I don't know if Germans have their own static artillery piece (maybe ISG? but that's not really big caliber gun), and I am not sure if Americans have their own static howitzer. Sometimes a see a B4 but only if they have the counterattack doctrine. Most games just become infantry + HMGs + AT guns + heavy tanks
What is the deal with this? It would be nice to see some unit variety on the field!! My theory for why this is happening is:
1. A lot of commanders have some sort of bombing run or artillery strike
2. Stuka and Katyusha (kat never built anymore lol) is just better?
I think you are exactly right. the search function keeps broadening its search until it gets the right players. If they can't find a player of equal skill, they will keep searching.
I will need to try this. the field presence seems good. It seems like you need good micro and awareness to pull it off. I think flanking is very important for this strat because I an HMG can shut you down
