You all know how the song goes so I had little fun with it since its Christmas and all xD
"on the first day of Christmas my game loaded in
a tiger came on the field
on the second day of Christmas my game loaded in
two rushing sturms
and a tiger came on the field
on the third day of Christmas my game loaded in
two rushing sturms
three covering conscripts
and a tiger came on the field
on the fourth day of Christmas my game loaded in
two rushing sturms
three covering conscripts
four blobbing rifleman's
and a tiger came on the field
on the fifth day of Christmas my game loaded in
two rushing sturms
three covering conscripts
four blobbing rifleman's
five gunning flaks
and a tiger came on the field
I just wanna point out that today i played a game with a friend in 4v4 and although early game was hard cause 3 usf and 1 rus vs 4 wermacht mg 42 spam, I essentially played 1.2 vs2 on my flank cause my friend was building caches while i was building up my arms while constantly contesting that flank then at some point our other flank was collapsing so i was left alone vs 2 players i started dealing pain with artillery and ultimativly i wore down their defenses in meantime our other flank which entirely was without any sort of at was getting crushed by tiger spam and best part is when the other 2 americans were complaining that jacksons are crap and were just using zook blobs, and we all know what happens to zook blobs they get crushed, i held on to my part of map for as long as i could hell we wiped everything and then i sent there to help them but what am i supposed to do with 2 jacksons when 2 americans just have rifle blobs that are dieing left and right and they are suiciding their " newly built" shermans to panthers. At that point my friend with 4 t34s gave up after he saw them playing, tehnicly we could have won that game but we had a discussion after that giving those 2 americans wins would have been a waste cause they flamed without knowing their forces and complaining about how bad jacksons are, I defended my flank with 1 jackson and 1 pak gun for 20mins against p4s,flaks,panthers, IS it that hard to learn how to use at properly?
This is my rant from a game I had something like ninjaW said that he had to get it out of the system... Sometimes some people dont deserve to win even if I am forced to lose
punishment like 2 mins or something like low priority of 1-2 games like in dota but make sure that they play it till the end and so on or just give us report button...
or you can ask in begining if he understands english or whatever language you play and then talk about tactics... for example 2 usf players play and one goes tier1 while other goes tier 2 you get ai and at. Then you just have to micro that shit and win... Its not that hard to type in stuff in teamchat
SO i tried no infantry tactic as ostheer and it actually worked 2 pios with 4 mgs and supporting okw dude early game with that, mind you i dont think it would have worked on open field map but you never now. Anyway after that I rushed Flakpanzer and P4 came 1 min later than the enemy t34s but we had 2 volks with shrecks so that went fine. Feels like ostheer has to support while okw just blobs infantry otherwise it doesnt work.
Anyway i was 2 flaks and 3 p4s and we won but the point of all this is that IF I go combined arms with greens,mgs, mortars openings i cant compete cause 1 mg is easily smoked, enemy mortars have more people so your mortar will die first,etc...etc...
Also the price of panzer greens should be lower or they should get buffed for a unit that costs 320 its underperforming greatly and to get 2 shrecks u need 120 ammo for a squad that cant handle being under fire, not to mention t34s oneshoting ost squads cause o their grouping issues
I tried some shinaningans with 222s, what a load of crap. The funny thing the most USED things for me are P4s and Flaks, the rest is kinda tooo rng too weak to compete mid to late game. teching to tier 3 feels a waste cause tiger performs better than panther , and if you are going tiger ace thats even more powerfull so I would rather spend fuel on extra p4 or flak than techin to tier 3, maybe against russians for panther but i feel thats only needed if you dont have tigers in call ins
tiger ace is fine, it rewards patience of ostheer and his unit preservation to do something when he comes on, I mean it gives you a big advantage at a certain point even like regular tiger, although give him fuel cost and reduce the drain by 50% and i would agree to that sort of "nerf" cause no fuel cost for a tank is kinda silly.
Think of tiger ace as overclocked PC it gives you a boost but it shortens your pc life span. In game terms it gives you a advantage but in a prolong battle with attrition and losses you will ultimately lose.
Its like double edge sword it can pay of greatly or destroy you.
And if you know beforehand that the enemy has its TA doctrine, there are mines,grenades to cripple the Tiger and alot of other abilities russians and usf have.
This is gonna be where ill be posting replays, also i tempered on blogs and stuff and i had the playlist going there, but cant seem to make it work here so il be posting it video per video, but I will add separate link for full playlist
Any sort of criticsm is always welcome cause my aim is always to improve myself, and I do learn from my own replays what stupid shit I do... Also keep in mind all these videos are usuallly a non prestige ranked players vs prestige rank 1 or 2 and you can guess whos non prestige.
p.s. game 6 I did actually render and i did actually Upload to youtube but the ingame song got claimed so i have to redo the video and I am kinda lazy to redo it atm, since the update came forth ingame and all. I mean who claims ownership for ingame songs...
reduce the popcap of jackson and wolverine by 1, sherman is fine, major reduction of popcap by 1 aswell since its mostly used as retreat points although his abilities are awesome. reduce scot pop by 2 and thats it. imo that should be enough to balance the paper units of usf in this game. Also fix the decrew / crew thing...
