Hey all

I had this game tonight, where I tought that the game was even and quite a nailbiter, but in the end it really wasnt .

After looking the replay through, I identified a couple of pointers that led to my loss.

-> I was completly caught off guard by his 2 K1's, and he slapped me around with them badly
-> Penals are pretty tough laddies, and like to throw bags of explosives to buildings. That ends 95% of times to a dead mg. Couldnt really handle them, and needed at least 2 squads for every engagement.
-> I wasnt able to back-cap his things effectively after the early game, he strained my micro too much.
-> 2 222's was perhaps too much, especially with him going for call-in tanks.
-> Could have used one more mg. And more AT cannons. And perhaps a mortar, loads of buildings. Or flamer for engis.
-> PzGrens didnt really work against Penals.
-> And ultimately, I didnt recognize his strat until it was too late.

Some good things I in my opinion did.
-> Early game was alright, and my MG was mobile and did useful things.
-> 222 micro was alright. Until I was overwhelmed by things going sideways and lost both of them.

Any other pointers? Some times that I really dropped the ball?

And, would also like some advice on commander choices.

Thanks in advance!

Hello. Dunno how dead this board is, but hopefully someone can help me out a bit.

Im having huge trouble playing agaisnt brits. Im not really sure hwo are you supposed to play the matchup, since IS will wreck everything in sight. They win against mg when both are in green cover. They beat grens around like they are nothing. Im forced to micro much more and bunch up units, making me lose hard in mapcontrol. Snipers are allrigt, but he wont live long after the first mortarpit using satellite guidances, same thing with grens. Also their first light tank can come out so fast that there really isnt anything to take it out on the field. Using anykind of support weapopns feel useless, when they will either get rekt by IS in green cover or mortared out of position either by getting wiped by 1-2 rounds or just forced to reposition during fights. And wutlol what is with the huge range on vickers in buildings?

How can i punish the brit player, when it feels that my every unit is 0.5 version of his?

Flame HT's? Double 222's? Spam mortars and hope one of them survives? Spam stugs? PzGR? Spam something that doesnt get blown to bits by mortars? Or jsut frantically reposition support weapons every 5s?

How to survive the early game? I keep reading about punishing the weak early game of brits, but how do i do it? Manpower bleed doesnt feel like mattering if i lose the same amount to supercritting IS at green cover. And I need at least 2 units for every one of IS, really limiting my capping power.

Yell at me about for being shit in the game, but please, send it with some pointers.

Alright game.

Thanks for reply!

> T1 placement
Never even tought about that!

>General micro problems
Its mostly just git gud - problem from my side (i might be biased, but somehow i feel that Wehrmacht demands more micro than soviets but hey, im just a shitter). I tend to get overwhelmed by loads of shit going on in and outside of screen. Mines are also completly underused by me, somehow i feel that i dont have the ammo for them. So yeah, git gud.

>Aggressiveness
Perhaps im playing aggressive wrong, but it feels pretty hard. Trying to fan out and take points after winning an engagement results in one of your squads getting swamped by soviet blob

>Macro problems
Again, pure git gud. I cant handle off/on screen at the same time.

>Chasing sniper with 222
I guess this comes down to not knowing what my opponent can have judging by his units. And my resource floating is pretty likely from not knowing what to do and what to buy at points of game, esp if im getting fuelstarved. Same thing with buying pz 3s, when i had paks and so on.


Lastly, what do you mean gameplay wise? As in general gameplan, or what?

But anyway, i feel that i have improved from this game. I'll look into the microtips, and try to squeeze a good gmae at some point. I assume its alright to just post another replay in this thread?

yey
