I just had to watch this as i've never ever tought that spamming grens is viable tactic. And i rly don't understand much about how to play with soviets. (I do understand a lot about losing against them.)

Biggest factor for losing i saw was that you fought always against superiority in units and you just kept fighting much lesser troops.
This is easily seen on the 3 minutes mark in center victory point. you fought against more numerous enemy units with 1 penal. -> when help arrived (too late) you kept fighting to cap that victory point against more numerous enemy units. Bleeding man power for what? you slowed him about 30 seconds and stalled your units more time out of the field because being reinforced.

Points:

1. Have a battle plan
- Don't try to be "everywhere"
- Being everywhere at once means you don't have superiority anywhere (easy pickings).
- Try to concentrate to keep an area -> And extend or harash from there.
2. Don't fight to lose
- Don't fixate against victory/capture point. Its no worth to trade manpower to capture a point only to lose it immediately, you lose more than defender.
3. Update priority
- Why on earth did you update engineers and not Penals? Second does the fighting/assaulting and first Delays attacks, builds mines and usually is repairing your things in a later part of the games. Invest in the future fighting force.
- Sniper is a pain in the ass against small squads and could have made Ost player to adapt and stop spamming.
4. mines
- Did i miss it or you didnt make a singe mine? never hitting/finding any mines means that other player uses rest of the munitions for fighting and not for finding you mines.

Only reason i have why he spammed those grens is that he did'nt know what to else to build and do cause he didnt need MG/mortar against you.

Kinda seems too strong ?? feels like ppl are just now finding it out and using that commander more.

It is just balanced.

Nothing wrong with it, especially nothing wrong that you can brace or shoot at the same it without losing the effect.

It would be awful if faction who is forced to play static play could not repair faster than they are losing their health when shot.
Its not like they had a free recon or anything

Yeah, I've been feeling like attack-move is the only way to use it. Even with the increased arc, it seems to just watch as vehicles drive past.

Same here, had couple of times a issue too where A-move froze it until perpetrator was out of view.

Usf will not out number ost early game.

Not sure if misunderstanding is my fault or readers. So what i meant:

- US has possibility to get area superiority because of better mobility than MGs.
1. Infantry can get there faster. MG cannot jump over fences.
2. Evenly spread MGs cannot protect each other and get more easily over run
3. If they are all in the same spot then maybe it would be better to cap something else.
4. It is even possible to anticipate where they are putting the mg and act accordingly.
And yeah OKW can do this fighting MG thing with more expensive infantry and without nades (tier-0) and smokes.

And Yeah i know its possibly to push to base with MGs. This is'nt just OST vs USF, brits and even SOV can do it as well. Just the matter being Unlucky and outplayed.

Fighting pit is a very short term counter ( in most instances ) that will in most cases be destroyed once any vehicle arrives which is simply a waste of mp.

If you know what the enemy is going to do then use it against him. Light vehicles come to kill it so kill that light vehicle with AT then. does term Fleet-in-being mean anything?

And simply that "waste of MP" bought you more room to manouver so you didnt waste it. And its acting as a fleet-in-being meaning that enemy is going to counter it somehow and use it against him..

Would you say you wasted MP with AT-gun if enemy did'nt use vehicles?
Wouldnt it be a waste of Popcap too?. And it would be waste of MP income also. Firing pit isn't. Every time it is repaired after attack on it mean that enemy used their DPS for nothing more than couple of seconds of you RE time costing MP for them.

For the record, i only go morter if ost is camping in houses and i want to wait on making a doctrine choice. Most times 1 morter is sufficient, but if the game becomes frustrating because there is 3 or more mgs on the field then i will go double morter.

Your lose then, i build it everytime because it saves so much manpower, it wipes every stationary unit in its firing circle. negates any cover used by grens and blows up pios trying to mine.

Yes morters may be a little op atm ( particuly in pairs ) but they sure do shut shit like this down hard and rightly so.

I personally don't build MG at all before i am sure US player did'nt build mortar or i killed and denied his mortar.

Anyone who has any alternative ideas as to how i should counter this build and not rely on morters or doctrinal flamers or doctrinal mines, please feel free to comment.

The usual: Flank, or smoke and flank, or smoke bum rush it or smoke and nade it or flank and nade it.

My way: Build firing position behind shot blocker and bombard the mg with its nades. I love this ability, and hate it when i am on the receiving end.( Seriously nade dropping on your squads and you don't see the culprit is annoying , squad should yell grenade but they don't when it lands on their feet.)
