Does JLI Viable?i mean they can spawn behind the sniper
Not really. British sniper is very resistant and if tommies are close they will open fire on your JLIs => you need to instaretreat or lose the squad. I wouldn't advise, unless the sniper is alone situation that you will almost never encounter, except noobs cases. |
Strange, I seem to make it work every single time and I go with the defensive doctrine with the mg34, bunkers and smines etc.
Indeed form me there are only 2 viable doctrines as OKW against brits: fortifications and breaktrough. Maybe special operations to some extent, because you need very strong late game to properly retaliate. But even so, against brits OKW is verry punishing if you made the wrong choices. The units you talked about are not as important as your teching choice. For instance if you start with puma building and he is making emplacements, you have nothing to deal with them.
Further, I am not a fan of investing amo in mines and upgrades for bunkers, the resource income is low, and you will need every amo drop for incendiaries and shrecks, even for lategame arty strykes which are something that OKW is good at. But that's just my opinion. |
Its not in my interest to make you defend your reputation, so why would I?
But hey, you can always ask Barton!
Hey, why not? Aren't we best friends, could you deny it?

Coming from axis exclusively player who never once in his life played allies
If I prove you otherwise will you eat a bar of soap and post the video here? |
Pak howie is a lot weaker and doesn't get the benefit of the med truck "strat". It's helluva a lot more vulnerable and not as robust. Shot power, sure, it's near on par, but not the unit itself nor being able to be "stationed".
I truly dislike having to use the howies, myself, but there's no other decent counter to the ISGs. Sadly, you have counter arty with arty. I'd rather use the mortar truck, but it can't reach the ISG without really exposing itself.
Play Axis once in your life - any faction. How can you call your opinion a valid one if you played just allied (one faction from 3) and didn't even touch axis? |
Look at Leigs and Howitzers, just generally not fun to play against and require little to no micro and people want more of stuff like this?
People will allways want something that grants them victories against better opponents. So if you can lock an area with no trubble at all, why not doing it? If there is an easy way to win, why not pick that way? |
Just ignore/evade the sniper, until you can blob the right amount of forces to blob it away, works every single time.
Btw if he has 3-4 tommie squads plus a sniper, you can bet pretty safely his manpower income is even lower than that of OKW
This works in theory. On the field, a few massed volk squads won't be able to defeat the tommies especialy if suported from behind by the sniper. What you said may work with a pfusies "blob" and that blocks you in one doctrine.... |
recived accuracy -20% something like most infantry squad do, and no you want to overnerf them
No nerf for bitish commandos please. Oh, and bring Obersoldaten to their initial status, too. Deal? |
Lol I can't believe people actually defend this grossly overperforming unit.
And what did you expect? Brits came with the biggest cheese ever, give you nice wins against stronger opponents while laughing at their efforts. |
I would be fully agree to rework/buff brits early game IF british sniper would receive some kind of nerf.
Currently, when using 3-4 tommy squads backed by sniper/s feels like rather a strong early game, not a weak one especialy against OKW. |
