I dunno it just seems like this tank is "too good". It's basically Anti-Everything. It consistently kills both tanks and infantry, but what saddens me is the StuG is the best tank killer the OstHeer has, and a large percentage of the time, my shots just bounce off of it.

If he's got 2 comets, I need close to 5 pieces of AT weaponry to make sure they die if they rush forward. Just seems to be a godlike tank, like a Tiger but only much faster, and much cheaper.

As a side note, I wish the P4 wasn't so easily shit on by every single British tank they have

Often times in a round, occasionally I will purposefully kill off units in late game. For example, IMO mortars lose their vitality in the late game, when superior artillery units become available, since I often pick the LFH18, I find 1 LFH18 15 popcap, to be more viable than 2 mortars requiring 12 popcap.

Or lets say my opponents kills all my gren squads, in a massive Katyusha/Land Mattress/Caliope barrage. Well grens are hard countered by these units, they don't stand up well to these barrages. So I figure it's best to lose them all together and not invest more mp/resources in keeping the grens alive or equipping new squads with MG42's, and just transition to vehicles which aren't hard countered by the Katyusha/Land Mattress/Caliope, like the StuG for example if I need AT, of the P4/Brumbar if I need AI (with a slight amount of AT as well).

Usually I will then pop out a 3rd pioneer, and then just mainly focus my army on tanks, and keeping them repaired and such.

I just find that vehicles don't produce MP Bleed, they're often cheaper overall mp-wise, the fuel costs of them in a way saves mp both in being slightly cheaper and performing the same function as a pure MP unit, and no MP bleed.

On the other hand, if I'm floating a lot of MP late game, and am a bit short on fuel, and I desperately need an AT unit, and I have plenty of munitions, sometimes I will go with say 2 squads of Pgrens, since Stug's are hard countered by other tanks like the Firefly/SU85/M36, however the Pgren is not.

Usually when deciding to purchase a unit, I look at my MP/Muni/Fuel reserves. If one is higher than the other, that dictates what the next unit I need will be.

On the other hand, since MP is crucial for purchasing all units, if I'm light on those, and need say, AT, I will just lay Teller Mines if I'm floating some Muni.

Do you guys also replace lost units in the late game, once popcap is freed up, with superior late game units?

You are pretty on point. There was simply NO WAY Germany could invade the UK. FIrst of all, they couldn't win the Battle of Britain regardless of their tactics. The British were outproducing the Germans in aircraft. Second, the Germans had no amphibious landing doctrine or experience. Amphibious landings are complicated. The British and Americans had been practicing them and refining them for decades prior even to WW2 and they still knew they weren't ready to invade until a few years of preparation had been made.

And finally there is the Royal Navy. At the time of Operation Sea Lion the KriegsMarine had 3 cruisers and a handful of destroyers. The British, between the HOme Fleet and the Med. Fleet had that many capital ships alone, not to mention a couple of aircraft carriers, a dozen cruisers and a couple dozen destroyers. Do you know what a destroyer alone can do to a flotilla of river barges pulled by river tugs moving at 5 knots in the English Channel? (because that was the composition of the force the Germans were going to use.)

I visited the Imperial War Museum in the UK< and they had a whole exhibit for just the Battle of Britain alone.

And IIRC, this was over 20 years ago, the BF109, was largely a "defensive" role fighter, it was never meant for long flight operations or crossing vast amounts of territory before it got to it's destination, by the time it flew from Normandy France, to London, they only had 15 minutes of spare fuel left over, before they immediately had to turn back.

If the Germans were going to have a shred of HOPE of winning the Battle of Britain, my best guess, they needed the FW190 to already be their main fighter aircraft, because again, IIRC, they had a much longer range than the BF109.

Spitfire and Hurricane on the other hand, every base was local, and didn't have to cross the English channel before it could start fighting, they could keep those planes in the air nearly non-stop, even if at a numerical disadvantage to the Luftwaffe's airforce, they could get the men and material where it needed to go practically immediately by WWII standards, compared to the brief amount of combat a BF109 was allowed before being forced to turn back.

And the German Fighter-Bombers of the era, mandated that they had fighter-aircraft support, everything was extremely vulnerable to Spitfires/Hurricanes without fighter aircraft escorting them.

Sorry for your loss. Your grandpa sounded like a boss =)

He was. He was a great person. After the war, he dedicated his life to "peace" as much as he could. He was even against the first Gulf War, even if the whole nation was in favor of it.

He had seen too much war for one man's life alone. He dedicated his life to peace, even if he was heavily invested in "war" early into life. His church even erected a "peace pole" due to how much effort him and his wife had done to advancing "peace" in their lifetimes.

I wish I had been a better grandson, that's all I can say. Without the old man in the picture, life is hard.

There isn't a single person on my mom's side of the family who had the same appreciation for "history" as my grandpa. And it's sad because this nation, as a whole, has cultivated itself to denigrate people who actually know wtf they're talking about.

I got a 4 year degree in Criminal Justice, but no one gives a "FLYING FUCK" what I have to say about our nations CCJ system, if it runs counter-intuitive to people like Amiri King or Tomi Lahren.

I think the old man was saddened by the time he died, with how much the country had denigrated people who were actual "experts" in their field, and instead favored charlatans, and people who had no "educational backround" to talk about, what they were talking about.

Even if he was 97, I know I should expect him to be close to dying by then, but the man was truly a national treasure, and I have not taken it easy. I wish I hadn't been such a PISS POOR GRAND CHILD looking back, I wish I had done more while he was with us on planet earth.

If you're from Japan, I use to LOVE Japanese sports cars, still do. Thought I'd share a couple pics of mine. I mostly built mine for quartermile drag racing, but they could go around corners really good too.
