Profile of Lady Xenarra

Maus was never more than 1 assembled vehicle.

Black Prince was both a series, and it actually worked. Slowly, but it worked.

More practically speaking, there's no real need to reach for a super heavy in that way when, all things considered, wehr already has end game heavy tanks that fit that bill. UKF doesn't have anything that's a functional equivalent to the BP in service.

I'd say it's a step from plausible into absurdity, but if they wanted to introduce some absurdist wunder waffen, all the more power to them. My royal artillery regiment will appreciate the target practice.

V-1 would like a word with the RA and its many many many pieces afterwards.

In any case it's incredibly unlikely Relic will remove the BP because of some mixed feedback towards it.

DAMN I haven't seen such bouncing since 2015 . I had to actually check the date of the video to make sure. As others said, just bad RNG. I've seen Comets swiss cheesed by Ausf Js and almost every shot in return failed to pen.

I've noticed that post-commander update there's been a lot more blobbing from all factions. Is this the meta now?

I'm not sure blobbing ever left the meta tbh but you're far from the only one to have told me that, albeit after the Winter patch. I think it all really kicked off though after the rocket vet arty nerf and it became much harder to just click away a blob every time it showed up.

OKW must blob vs SOV T1 or risk a squad picked off imho, learnt that the hard way with Artem. Pzfusilier blob is as daunting to deal with as ever. UKF IS blob became more viable imho as sapper is T0 now and you have lower chance of a LV raping your entire army with zero threat. USF blob, as I've been complaining for years, is USF things. Then (for Axis) many USF players became afraid to use the Calliope because it requires care now as opposed to in-your-face-ignore-AT memes. I think the last one is prob the greatest contributor to the increasing Axis blobs.

psa: HTL costs 250 muni


And, as you can see in the video, the ability was active for over 10 to 15 seconds by the time the squad jumped into the kill zone

It is 150 muni.

Yes and you can chain the ability very easily with a friend, resulting in up to 82% uptime. The ability is a two stage process. These guys in the video did that, though thankfully myself and the other left person had rolled their teammates. Clicking the button sets the 2nd stage to active - then anything sighted within single digit seconds on territory is deleted, before the flares even fade out. There is no other ability that has such lethality, speed and auto-targets. Strafing runs can be dodged and zeroing/Sector Assault/Sector Artillery circles can be walked out of whilst taking your sweet time about it.

I mostly play allies, so I dont really have much experience dealing with HTL, but with your video, it looks pretty disgusting. That being said, I don't think Either HTL or Secter arti should exist, but HTL shouldnt exist the mostest. Both are lazy area denial tools that basically are "haha I clicked a button and you dont get to play the game and capture VPs for a minute!" which just gets abused, especially in larger modes where you see these mass desperate pushes for the VPS and people dying for the points to squeeze out the last remaining VPs. Both are far too spammable, and are often the deciding factor in games when they have absolutely no right to be.

Hell, I'd honestly also lump Sector Assault with those two since its gigantic and takes forever to shoot down with even mass AA

Well I don't know how some other people can justify the video tbh, but I think I've made the point. I agree that they are lazy area denial tools and I suspect that they're mainly behind very specific (meh) commanders (and 4v4 mainly) that they aren't considered a bigger problem.

Sector Assault did get nerfed last patch but all three require a minimum of ramping up on the target once sighted imho. To that end SA sort of gets that right as you don't get vehicles deleted in single digit seconds and really have to sit there and thumb your nose at the planes for a very long time before they actually kill a full hp medium/TD. I am not a fan of Sector Artillery either but I don't play OST much. There's also the matter that those two only work for one sector at most (roughly) whereas HTL affects all frontline sectors.

Was playing a fairly serious game as UKF earlier on La Gleize (tons of shot blockers) and on one occasion 2 out of 3 vetted squads were wiped by the thing. But it had been rolling around for a while and I heard it moving into position to boot so I could only blame myself for that. A lot of one shots on the Allied team but predictable approaches and if I was awake we'd have that thing vaporised. In any case, after SPGs flattened the repair HQs we didn't see it for a long LONG time.
