I bought my keyboard from here: http://www.maxkeyboard.com/

I bought the cherry mx red. They aren't as loud as the blues, but require less pressure than the browns (I believe). They're great. They also have all of the bells and whistles you need and if you really want to get fancy, you could buy different keycaps and what not. They're good, sturdy, and simple keyboards.

Generally, no. OKW and Ostheer are so powerful in the late-game that if you don't try to starve them of resources early, you're just going to have a bad time. It's hard enough trying to maintain pressure in the early game, almost impossible without munitions or fuel in the late game.

When it comes to a well managed kubel, I find it better to block it's line of sight with a smoke nade. I also try to ensure that my units have 2 other units nearby for support. Generally, when OKW rushes kubel, it doesn't have any back up (sturmpioneers are too busy capping). If you do Riflemen then RE, you would have 3 units to fight against the kubel in the early game. Just make sure those 3 units are spread out to take advantage of the narrow firing arc.

I also think you neglect the Capt and their usefulness, but then again it seems you play Airborne so I can understand that perspective. Other than the Stuart and Captain themselves, the Howitzer and 57mm only require manpower, which, if micro managed and given a couple lucky shots, can help you get an opening in the mid-game. The Capt is a great counter to the Puma since they have 2 bazookas. If you have a veteran rifleman, you could disable the Puma and at least get it to retreat.

If you're lucky, they'll try to bunker down - mortars/mg - in which case, grab grenades, save up a bit of munitions and approach the defensive line. Drop the smoke in front of the mgs to block their LOS, run up and throw the grenades at their positions.

I think the Manpower is worth it if you can't get the gas to grab the Major and the M8A1 in short manner. The Capt costs 80 gas, a nice chunk. If you rushed it, you sacrificed the LT's early anti-inf for anti-armor. In this scenario, I can understand getting the 75mm, especially if you decided not to unlock the BAR for your riflemen.

However, if you grabbed the LT and skipped CPT for the Major for tanks, I would be hard-pressed to justify the 75mm.

My first replay upload, please be gentle. My teammate dropped at the beginning of the match. Fortunately, I was paired against the weaker teammate who kept falling into ambushes, but with the AI against the other, better player, it left a lot of room for him to build up Panthers and wreck me at times.

Suggestions are welcome. I know my micro-ing isn't that great and I made plenty of mistakes.

I use it as a last resort, Area of Denial when faced against a blob of infantry and my infantry is retreating or trying to heal. It doesn't really offer much beyond that, imo.
