I find Brits like to turtle & use their deadly AT guns (the best in the game imo).

This build confuses them slightly and voids their deadly AT guns with wasted MP, allowing you to hold the majority of the map with Vp control whilst teching at the same time!

Isn't the 6-pounder like a pak-gun with extra accuracy? If I understand that correctly then there can be really no doubt that it is the best AT-gun for the price

I haven't been able to watch your replay yet, but does this strat also work if the opponent goes heavily into bofors and mortar pits or would you then have to swap into t3?

I've been using an osttruppen to t3 strat that has been working decent, but I'll check this out for sure!

I don't mean to highjack your tread, but yesterday I noticed that it is no longer possible to make the UC into a command veichle. Has any other changes been made to it? Is it still posisble to use a free recon plane for example?

Now that the UC is no longer an option, what veichle would you suggest putting it on, considering the significan penalty to mobility?

I was considering something like the firefly or Centaur because they are already more like slow moving firing platforms. Another option could be the AEC (if still possible?) due to the modest price which would turn it into a support unit right behind your main force?

I think this example of Von agreeing on a rematch and seeming genuinly concerned for Hans' well-being after the match is a great example of the high level of sportmanship and camaraderie in this game.

Whilst most fans certainly seem to support this, it is really kind of a shame that a few people try to taint this by mocking and casting doubt about the severity of the ailment (this was especially bad in the Twitch chat).

Hans' was clearly distraught and frustrated, not only for loosing but also for letting down the viewers. Von was clearly concerned about Hans and accepted the rematch without any objections whatsoever (almost to an extent that I think he would have insisted on it even if Hans hadn't asked for it).

For all the rest of us we should really just leave it at that.

Hi guys.

In the last year or so I have really made and effort to become better and more confident in 1v1 and it has started to pay of. I have risen from a mid level player on rank 8 to an above-average-but-by-no-means-expert player at 11-12 for three of my most played factions

One thing that I think has brought me forward is that I am an enthusiastic mine-layer and try to ensure to keep my engineers busy with investing munis into this on chockepoints, roads and capture points.

In the lower and mid range tiers people don't use mines very much, but this changes when you meet lvl 12-14 players and feel this being used against you.

For all my mine laying it is kind of ironic that I'm quite a sloppy sweeper, but I think this comes down to three reasons:
1. encountering enemy mines is still kind of new and surprising to me
2. apart from OKW the sweepers will reduce my DPS and potentially exclude a flamer upgrade
3. I heard casters say that sweepers tend to be "a tell" that mines have been planted and start them playing more cautiously.

Of these three reasons I think it is mostly the last one that counts as a plausible argument for withholding sweepers, which (finally) brings me to the question:

When do you suggest building the first mine sweeper?

I thank you for your time
