Also, I've never seen the game carry on playing for a minute or so after somebody has bug splatted.
That is a new one for me.
I've seen plenty of times someone losing connection to the game with their internet, and the connection timer showing.

I see multiple times in that chat log, the call for restarts to be made by Hooligan.
I have to assume DevM didn't restart the game, hence the bug splat. Even though Hooligan and the rules both call for restarts, and DevM has a history with bugsplats.
Therefore, in my opinion, all other circumstances are immaterial.
DevM should have had the loss, and VonIvan should have had his choice, as the VP's (overall) were in his favour.
Bad decision making on behalf of the tourney organisers. |
Gameplay > Historical accuracy.
False.
Krupp steel > Staluminium |
Tank are not meant to be used against units like a Panther a unit that is actually meant to counter tanks itself.
GL trying to kill a tank with that speed, armour and health with AT guns. |
Try 3 accuracy bulletins for the OST mortar. It is downright broken lol.
I know lol |

Still no hard counter to Elephant and JT.
Only 2 units in the game that don't get a hardcounter by either A) another unit B) an offmap. |
Against double mortar pit, it is pure RNG. The mortar pit might counter fire and hit the halftrack, killing it instantly. That is not a real counter. Especially since it costs fuel, too.
What? lol |
Have you read the post? The mortar pits could reach every VP, both fuels and both munis. He had a pretty decent army. I guess that is what happens when you can just sit back and recruit more stuff. All he had to do was get vision and I was immediately hit by 2 mortar pits, not to mention he sat on my cut-off with that SimCity, so even if I wanted to cap the other fuel, it would be useless and I just would get wiped by a Bofors on retreat. Even if you avoid the vision from the point, he can just bombard it blindly, it costs nothing, and with 2 mortar pits, he will hit something eventually. Like I said, I beat him eventually, that is not the problem. The problem is that someone with this little skill, with only his one "strategy", could waste 50 minutes of my time by an incredibly boring gameplay, while he himself had to do almost nothing. THAT is what infuriates me about this bullshit! It ruins the quality of the game, not the balance per se.
He was sat on your cut off with all this stuff, and you were unable to dislodge him to damage the emplacements for the entire game?
Have you got a replay of this infamous game? It's starting to sound a little like you need to step up your game. |
But that is the problem in 1v1. Maps are generally very small. If you build them in the center, where exactly can the enemy go to ignore them? "until he counters them" May I ask you how exactly can you counter a SimCity made of a Bofors, 2 Mortar Pits, Forward Assembly, AT gun, PIAT Sappers/IS and Vickers? I have actually encountered this with Ostheer on Angoville, about a week ago. He rushed straight for my cut-off by the haystacks, capped it and built a SimCity directly in the center of the map(and yes, mortar pits could reach almost the whole map). I beat him in the end, but only just, while his only tactic was charging blobs into MGs and hoping the Mortar Pits would clear out all the resistance. It didn´t matter where I went, I was always under constant bombardment, and whenever he wanted, he just unleashed his blob. The amount of squad wipes that I suffered without him using any tactics or micro is just cancerous. People SHOULD NOT get away with stuff like that.
I'm not claiming they are ok for 1v1. They need work. Limiting them is not the answer though. I think brits would actually like a mobile alternative themselves.
OKW has the easiest time with ISG. Ost has harder time, but there are counters. Mortar halftrack being the best imo. |

The drawback is you can't move the thing lol.
If you want to get rid of them, the only thing you can do is make a mobile variant of each.., (except mbe AT gun, which needs to have its pop adjusted).
Simply limiting them is not fair. The other player (if he has any brain whatsoever) will just move to the other side of the map until he counters them.
