Profile of Spinflight

It certainly seems that Sherlock is on the money.

NorthWeapon's tip is excellent too, think I've been driving some Axis players mental with my mortar pit... I don't necessarily win the game but frankly if you lose to me you might as well consider spoon wittling as a hobby instead.

Even found a use for the AEC ( take my nubbinseness into account here ) using it merely as a scout car for the mortar pit. 50 sight range is rather nice to have so rather than taking any infantry on I just sit it there out of their sight range and have the hyperactive mortar pit rain death on them. Pumas and Kubels can see them but it seems to just about handle the former. It even has a laser range finder in case Shrecks rush it, if the coaxial is firing you are too close.

Mortar pit seems to fire twice as fast with command car plus garrison, and the inevitable UC is pretty useful for defending it along with the AECs when the obligatory shreck blob turns up to destroy it.

It seems to let me build my forces up in the mid game where previously I was being waxed off the map in no time.

Stick a Firefly being them and they spot very nicely for it too.

Cohcharts only lists the top150, though it think it was top 250 by faction.

Could we also see the overall stats across the player base?

Also something along the lines of stats for rank 5 and down, ranks 10 to 6, 15 to 11 etc.

Another useful statistic would be game length. With the different factions designed to be either early or late bloomers it would be very interesting to see whether this holds true. UK vs OKW for instance both are supposed to be strong late game, but which is stronger?

So using two snipers together helps does it?

Thank you, might be where I'm going wrong.

Come to think of it I wonder what 4 snipers for instant squad wipes would do....

Is it actually the number of hitpoints which is the problem?

I've been using ( losing) a lot of them and noticed that they tend to get to about 50% health and then just spontaneously combust.

I've even tried using added armour bulletins and same thing happens. Lonely Volks squad in the open, UC fires, one volks rolls around on the ground after a bit looking as though he is being tickled, UC hits 50% health and decides to do an impression of Spinal Tap's drummer.

Very early in the game and only small arms used, no shrecks or anything like that...

Every annoying Kubel wagon I see escapes with a tiny sliver of health left where as UCs seem to lull you into thinking they have something left in the tank then turn into Roman candles.

I'm sure a two man Tommy squad with a Bren has less health yet would fare better despite no armour.

By my maths a bolstered squad should be 1.5x more effective than an unbolstered one so I do it as early as possible.

Also helps me with unit preservation and I find the early game much easier to get through with lots of infantry. I'll happily take fairly heavy casualties in order to earn quick command points and get my early abilities ( the only ones I seem to remember to use!) on the field.

Saying that I am distinctly rubbish at this game.
