Why?

Six man Con squads are easily wiped. Even 7 man sometimes get wiped to a Walking Stuka. These upgrades shouldn't be exclusive. If a Con pick up any other weapon then I could see it blocking the MR upgrade but PTRS doesn't play the same. The PPSH upgrade would make 7 man Cons too powerful, but 7 man PTRS would be only slightly more usable.

Ah right. Supposedly in that situation, wire blocking both exits will result in passable wire (haven't tried it out). But as you've seen, if the V is far enough from the door then it doesn't register. Some will prob say that you should have spotted it being both exits blocked off, pretty unpleasant trick either way.

Making a Stormtrooper petting zoo isn't any more unpleasant than Close the Pocket.

Hi there,
I am just curious because it seems a bit unjust. Suppose if a player dropped in your 2v2 pvp automatch in the first seconds but you won that match against the other 2 opponents having a dumb A.I. in team, will the dropped the player in your team get win 1+ point in his playercard and rank up?


and is there any rule to report "early dropper" in automatch in relic enforcement about such incidents?

For example this one which I watched :

Your text..

I think they get a loss unless they are part of a team with at least one player in the match.

The gun is an RNG cannon now, it is slow, but it is very durable when supported. With that I'll say it is very good at holding singular points, usually VPs and can hold lanes well when coupled with an elephant/jt etc. Beyond that though it's pretty meh. Sometimes it'll knock 70% HP off squads and sometimes it'll miss entirely. I almost wish it had a substantially worse reload for better scatter because as we all know when we use it, it misses repeatedly, but when our opponent uses it, it wipes squads left and right.

That being said, I think the 2 points I mentioned above is what the KT must be used for in 4v4s; there's too many players and targets for it to move around the map as if it were a 2v2 or 3v3.

TL: DR: Use it as a defensive tank.

It's really good on the top or bottom of Port of Hamburg, as well as the city side of City 17, or almost anywhere on Essen. If I don't YOLO it, I often rack up 50-80 kills. It's mostly worthless on Red Ball, White Ball, etc. unless paired with a teammate that has a JT. It's kind of slow to vet, but once it hits vet 4 it seems pretty good.

85 minute game... I think my shoulder would give out before I could finish that 😂

If you play 4v4 randoms, you have to expect those to happen sometimes. This was on Hill 400 where I had to fight over the mid while players on both sides wanted an arty fest. Considering the number of Katy or Calliope rounds I took, it felt fine that my JT got over 100 kills. I used the JT barrage to keep them from capping mid while they used their rocket arty to keep me from capping. Eventually I capped it enough to tick down the VP's.

BTW - it's games like that one that make me want arty of any type to not be decrewed or abandoned and a hard cap of 2. When I look up from the scrum in the middle, where it feels like I've been fighting 1v2 for the last 30 minutes, when I see half of some of my teammates pop cap is in arty, it's hard not to get pissed. I then understand why it feels like I've been fighting 1v2. If you watch the replay in the Arty Rant, you'll see the same thing. It's the same when I play allies, look back, and see my teammate running around with 3 Katy's. I then start hoping for the Puma........

Lastly, I've tried diving with the JT and using the barrage to push around AT guns. It doesn't work in a 4v4 as there is always too much AT around. After having both used the ability and fought against it, it really doesn't seem OP.
