The T34/76 definitely under performs. Compared to the P4 and Sherman it has worse AI (even before the pintle gunner upgrade is taken into account) and worse AT with none of the survival abilities both those tanks have. Sure it is 10 fuel less than a Sherman and 25 less than a P4 but it ends being too expensive to spam and too cheap to be useful as a generalist.
The T34/76's were out of production sometime in 1944, long before the timeframe for the WFA expansion. The T34/85's should be the stock unit for WFA, and maybe have SU100's for call-ins.
I think they're fine in 1v1's, and 2v2's if you have the advantage and want to finish it. If the game goes long then they don't scale well. Maybe if you gave them significant vet bonuses to hit points and damage would it become viable. |
 Such a powerful thong-destroyer shouldn't be so cheap. PopCap abuse is another issue which the dev don't know how to fix lol.
Did you kill anything of your opponent's in this game (at least before the TA hit the field)? You spammed five engineers, backed them up with one grenadier and a turbo mortar, probably used all your fuel vetting up your units, bunker spammed like crazy, finally called in your Tiger Ace which cost 0 fuel, most likely lost, then came here and whined about USF cheese. What about that do you want the "clueless" devs to fix? |
No thanks. They aren't Panzerelite. Hummel etc. is not what the OKW's theme is there for. It would bug me.
OKW are the crazy high-tech late-war dudes with infrared stuff, Panzerschrecks on wheels(aka Raketenwerfer), experimental Sturmtigers etc. They have a clear and defined theme and the 'traditional' Hummel doesn't belong there IMO.
Panzerlelite was more of a ''let's put in everything we didn't do yet'' approach, they didn't even have MGs or anything (not even doctrinal).
That being said, I wouldn't have anything against a medium tank. Maybe a Panzer IV with skirts by default? Don't ask me how I got that idea... hehe 
The "infrared" halftrack is the biggest annoyance. Anyone who knows anything about IR knows that it doesn't see through stuff. Most IR can't even see through glass. The IR in this game is straight out of the back of a comic book, and so are the PAK 43's where the shell phases out of existence to go through the forest and then phases back in to destroy a tank. |
Iv been wrong before, and yeah I did fanboy for a while when I first started posting but generally lately Iv tried to really tone things down a lot due to switching to more competitive game modes like 2v2.
With that said; calm down.
EDIT: Like seriously TAB may be making it fashionable to stalk me (Impersonating me on teamspeaks and harassing my friends) and harass me but that shit ain't cool.
I can't speak for all of TAB, but none of the people that I play with stalk you, or really spend any time thinking about you. The biggest reason that you ever get mentioned is that you post an opinion on nearly every thread and it's normally laughable, like your ML-20 comment above. |
If you are decent, then you should be winning the low amount of games you are playing.
If your real skill level is higher to what your rank is showing up, you should be defeating your opponents easily.
People just like to put excusses at everything. If you lose, that's because you could had done something better or your opponent is simply better than you or using stronger tactics (meta).
+1 - If someone who is good is smurfing and they win all 10 games to get a rank, that rank would probably be at worst 3000, and wouldn't drop anyone's elo rank that much, unless it was another elite that they beat.
Creating a second account, comparing the win rate to your primary, and then deciding that your losses were because of noobs is misleading. If you play the second account enough, you'll end up matched against the people who gave your first account its win/loss ratio.
Occasionally, I run into people who aren't even prestige 1 yet they play much better than some of the prestige 3's. It isn't a big deal. Save the replay, watch it, learn, and go on. |
Guards are crap Kappa
They were mostly crap, but were helpful in stopping the fast Luchs. Now they're pretty good except that they like to drop weapons way too much. |
I appreciate all of the replies and helpful suggestions. I'd say, the biggest thing for me is judging whether or not I will win an engagement.
As Australian Magic pointed out in the actual replay thread, he said we didn't communicate. We were on Teamspeak together but didn't talk as much as I'd like. I think it was late (around midnight) and we/I was just tired. If I would've gotten a Sherman instead of a Jackson, or if Newbie would've gotten a Katyusha and I a Jackson, things may have turned out different.
Honestly, I was expecting panthers from the Ostheer player, not stalling for a Tiger Ace... that seemed awfully silly (yet it worked).
We just didn't work together or coordinate well enough after early game, I think.
That loss was my fault, it was late and I was tired and not playing well. Wasted a sniper, was sure that one of their squads was going to get wiped before it could get my 120, but lost the 120 to them. That was huge, because it started the manpower bleed going the other way. |

Please no, unless we get one more veto. |
OKW has snipers? How do i get one?
Maybe Relic will program in a "abandoned" critical for snipers, because more randomness is exactly what this game needs. |
Here is what I think about OKW 1v1s: Dont play it atm.
Soviets wreck you; your best chance is blobbing up your 3-4 volkshreck blob behind a sweeper BUT first; medic truck and Jagdpanzer 4 + elite infantry (falls, jaegers, fusis). Try to hold out against call-ins and slowly creep forward. Dont bother with T4 'cuz you'll just set yourself behind teching even more. The thing is you have to wait for your opponent to make a mistake.
Against USF it's much easier as you can get a kübel + 3 volks and harass his capping; the deal is the same thought: dug in with T2 + T4 and blob and defend.
Btw;. any1 got any idea how to counter Katy?
I've been enjoying playing OKW. I've been winning a little over half, with some maps and combinations really bad. I used to play only US before the Sept 9 patch last year, then switched to Soviets because USF was horrible in large team games. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of choices when playing those factions so it got really boring. |
