That commander with the little Dodge trucks is great against a Soviet player who chooses shocks. Like I say he's pretty meh versus OKW but up against Russians it takes on a new dynamic entirely.
Ditto the Greyhound, all of a sudden a meh unit gets a new lease of life and utility.
A small tourney 1 v 1 and 2 v 2 would be great fun, something fresh. I don't know how the top tier players would feel about it, but I urge them to give it a go. It's really growing on me, and as a Soviet player you can have fun with some of the lesser-used commanders too.
Snipers and Guards are tough for early USF indeed. The mortar halfie is a good solution and USF infantry is superior to guards. Early armoured car spam goes both way in this match-up, though.
Hi guys. I know I've mentioned this before, but how are people finding the USF / Sov match-up? Is anyone playing these semi-mirrors or wants to (friend me, I'm AirfixPanzer on steam)?
For me at least it's a pretty fun match-up and the early game is great. Even Russian call-ins don't have that 'oh fuck' effect OKW ones do.
I'd love to see a counterfactual mod with an imaginary WW3 set in the immediate aftermath of WW2, not least with Pershings and IS2s as well as German volunteers as an 'Allied' faction.
And Episode 501 follows up with a 2v2 on Rails and metals as the Axis clash with the Soviets and the old jaeger infantry doctrine gets dusted off to an excellent degree as Heavy assault guns and tank destroyers roll out on the battlefield :
Hey Dane I loved this replay. Lots of fun, breaks some of the usual 2 v 2 meta and loads of interesting ways to destroy OKW heavies. Plus - Brummbars!
Thanks to the players for sharing it and to you for a fun cast. Keep it going.
I build a Puma about fifty per cent of the time as OKW. I have only so-so micro skillz so I don't get the utility out of it other players do.
Volks OTOH are a no-brainer as they have decent AT and scale very, very well with veterancy. My first building is always the one the puma comes out of though, so it's tempting and I struggle to keep the AA halfie alive.
