Bunkers with MGs don't get pinned... Minefields instapin blobs. Kiting with a ostwind bleeds the blob nicely. Brummbär makes a mess if it gets into proper spot.
And blobbing ALWAYS leaves flanks open! I know, i blob because i can't micro If the enemy blobs, do do nasty things in his rear lines.
Mobile style of play is based on high amount of firepower moving where needed. So blobbing is a valid tactic. And as hector stated, proper micro always wins brainless blobbing. So countering a blob head on may not be the best idea, but there are ways.
Blobbing is kinda having all your eggs in same basket. It's effective at best, but it's high stakes. Mass retreat leaves your whole front open, mass wipes due to rocket arty is more than likely and it costs you dearly if you make one mistake.
Wow, never seen so much mistake in one post.
Blobing let flanks open ? Have you seen the ridiculous design of most map ?
Even 1v1 map are small.
Blobing makes you waste time when u got to retreat all the units ?
Forward retreat point.
Usf, brits and okw have one.
It makes you risk to loose all your units in a single rng shot ?
Before it happens you have already killed many retreating ennemy squad because lmg riflemen or even bren tomee are awesome at that.
And in more, you got much less chance to loose units to demo or mines when you blob because then u keep a minesweeper around.
No more demo squad wipe.
