So come Feb 25th maybe we should have a sweepstake, between those who buy them, for who can induce the most rage quits.

Flame engis might give a use to the UC... Drive them up to a garrison and unload. Commandos might even things up on urban maps and the mattress itself, well depends upon accuracy etc. Anyone know the stats compared to the other rocket artys?

No top end abilities by the looks of it, just lots of stuff that will help early and midgame, especially if you are up against Ostruppen.

The emplacements doctrine looks to be very defensive but might give some attacking options. Offensively and early placed mortar pit for example. Counter battery is exciting, especially given the easy time that Leigs and mortars have against pits at the moment. Maybe the precision barrage will finally give us some decent artillery to use?

What exactly are fortified emplacements going to be? They currently have 5 armour and unless this is going to bring it up beyond Shreck pen I'm not seeing the use. IS repairing buildings... Would have to be a very important building me thinks, and by emplacements at CP0 that would be pits and nothing else till T2 goes up? Will this make garrisoning IS in an emplacement worthwhile maybe?

Would you give up the Croc, arty cover, raid operation, strafes and the rest etc from what you can see so far? I'll certainly be having a play but the lack of top end abilities ( and probably giving up Comet on the latter one) makes me a little bit skeptical, especially when I often wait a bit to see what the opposition has picked before choosing a commander.

We'll see...

They look nice. When can I buy them?

" Is needs 2-3 shots to wipe a gren squad with almost every shot killng a model on a squd. That's faster than pz4."

Not in my experience.. Frankly it misses rather a lot ( check the accuracy stats) and doesn't do a huge amount of splash damage ( 1/4 of a model's full health if that?). If you leave a low health Gren squad unsupported and let an AEC bombard it then yes it will be in trouble. In comparison to before the patch Grens, Volks etc would just ignore it and carry on capping.

As a previous poster said fausting an AEC which has over extended sees it with a long slow return to be repaired. Mine never seem to not have engine damage against a competent player and shrecked infantry are quite capable of running it down.

Not just salty, almost suicidal in terms of their early game aggression and willingness to rage quit in the mid game.

Of course it is somewhat ironic that bringing out a smidge of early light armour is exactly the tactic which helped OKW stomp the UKF repeatedly just a few weeks ago.

The only possible response was not to overextend and try to limp into the mid and late game. Retreating early, not leaving unsupported units dotted around the extremities of the map, buying AT before you need it etc.

With a few exceptions the main thrust of low level OKW players seems to be to take key garrisons no matter what the cost and then push everywhere.

It is a learning experience for them and I find helping them by announcing when I am building an AEC is a positive and inclusive thing to do.

Similarly sometimes the poor chaps don't realise that their Volks blobs are taking heavy casualties from my mortar pit. Again, communication is key and helping them by stating the number of kills whilst pondering a second pit can also see them instantly reappraise their tactics...

Lol.

Trenches are meant to provide protection from direct fire....

Pass through them? Not maybe pass over them? Is this a joke?
