l2p, all of you

Wash your mouth out with soap Hmmm...

I was under the assumption L2P meant learn to post.

Would you were correct! Maybe originally it carried that connotation, but not now. Sadly

You are way to diplomatic.

Uh Uh! Left to my own devices on Twitch stream, I am as capable of being timed out as anybody else, even for gentle ribbing

How could you ever analyse that amount of rage.

Well, if the poster plays straight and hoists up the replay, as ofc he should - and if it discloses obvious faults - you do not have to analyse the whole vid. Many effective replay commentaries I have read, often start with a detailed commentary,squad by squad, pointing out the deficiencies as they occur, then tail off after approx 6 minutes, with something like " You lost 2 Rifles by this stage and you were always going to be on the back foot etc etc "

And there is nothing wrong with that - if a novice is faring poorly, it will help him, and if the analysis is objective and not spiteful - then almost always, the poster who erred will thank the critic. Which is how it should be. Practical advice,administered dispassionately. That is partly why this board exists.

And this is a Mentor who sets a prime example

His style is different to what I have I described -but you can see a positive mentor shining through.

L2P is not abusive its the thruth.

Goldraeder did not need to use this phrase with his Mentees. If he had even thought about it, I am pretty certain he would have rejected the phrase as "crushing". 'L2P' is abusive,in the same way as "noob" is abusive. Good players, confident in themselves, do not need to be so disparaging

@OP

Sadly, L2P is used to abuse right now, so I highly doubt your suggestion will succeed.

More posters on this board should go back to the hallowed practice, when encountering a rage thread, by asking "Replay please, or it did not happen". If the OP then responds, you can start a serious analysis of the replay, which is good practice for you, and will help the errant poster.

Keep your grens together at basically all times, get lmg upgrades on them asap (only other thing to spend ammo on should be the healing bunker and the Scoutcar upgun).

I would recommend getting 1 MG 3 Grens or 4 Grens. But that is up to you.

I also recommend going for T2 asap. Get a scoutcar out (it murders the M20, but care for the crew, it has a bazooka) and gain back mapcontrol. If he goes for a stuart, a pak is the way to go (maybe 2 if you dont feel comfortable microing it). You should probably get 1 or 2 PGs as well for more infantry fire power.

Still remember to keep your units together as much as possible (and make sure you focus fire on one squad at a time).

If you feel you need midgame tanks, you can go for a P4 (more than 1 is not worth it basically all of the time). Heavy Tiger call-in should seal the deal, as the US player has nothing that can compare to it.

Since you seem to struggle with the early game especially, I would recommend posting a replay to see where you are making mistakes. Mistakes in early game are often devestating.

Some general thigns to keep in mind:

Try to go for the side of the map that has more open areas. Those are better for MGs and long range fights (which your Grens excell at).

Normally you want to send all your units to the same side. If you have to retreat a pio early, you might wanna send it to the other side of the map to cap (it can 1v1 a RE squad if you get close without getting supressed).

Holding a fuel point is important, so your opponent cannot pump out a sherman or 2 early in the game.

Don't lose units!! It is better to full retreat sometimes, so you have enough units left to regain map control once your Scoutcar is out (upgun asap)

Try to get a hold of buildings. USF does not have as many good ways to clear a buliding as Soviets and the USF nade can be dodge with quick reactions.

Hope this helps a bit.
