Thanks, I'll try another RE vs double Kubels. Looking back at the match on Halbe I probably should of gone mortar to help me dislodge my opponents infantry from their green cover. Didn't even think of it, would of been easier than doing a suicide run every time. What is wrong with getting both an At gun and a Stuart?
They serve overlapping roles getting both back to back was a waste of MP.
I'm having a tough time fighting off double kubel opens and aggressive okw infantry. Any tips, tricks, or advice would be much appreciated.
I'll let one of the strategists do a replay review. Here are my two cents.
VS Kubel:
Since you didn't have the WC51 in your loadout, RE's are better than rifles to start. They have a better cost to damage early. Then upgrade to racks and get zooks on REs. Save the rifflemen's slots for bars. Stick to green cover or buildings early as the kubels will do much less damage. Then tech to M20, AA or .50 cals depending on the situation. Going for M10 or airbourne are the 2nd & 3rd best docs vs Kubel spam imo. Transitioning from the kubels to the luchs is where most players drop but you handled it well so kudos.
On Halbe:
Stick to cover as best as possible. The middle of the map is a negative cover death trap. Too many times you chased into it only to lose models or squads. Other mistakes include waiting over 5min to capture a fuel, getting both an AT gun and a Stuart (choose one) and 2 squads of rangers. I suggest paratroops for elite long range infantry on that map.
Yes! That commander is considered useless except as a counter to kubel spam, but this replay showed it to be pretty effective at killing retreating infantry. I also learned you can perhaps hit a timing with the halftrack followup after retreating the two jeeps.
Your style of response to someone posting a game of you losing is I suspect at least some part of why we have so few replays posted here. People are afraid of being criticized or people complaining. It's a shame imo.
Win or lose the replay should be interesting to watch. If you post a troll replay you shouldn't be surprised by the response.
This forum needs a bot that tells people not to say "pridepost", I swear. Also, pridepost implies that you beat someone who people would be impressed that you beat; not sure if rank 240 OKW players apply there. Sometimes short replays are helpful because they illustrate something about the game. Not every replay has to be a 1hr slugfest.
Right so he posts 6min games against lower rank players. Much better! Did you learn something new Daniel? Was it a learning experience for you? Did you take good notes so you can help other people?
