Thread: What should I have done here?23 Nov 2018, 07:24 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2018, 19:52 PMJoshua85 Ah I'm sorry man but this replay has become corrupted after the latest updates. I tried running it with the "–allowIncompatibleReplays" option but it only shows your first unit while the manpower just floats into the thousainds. So I'm afraid I can't give you a review unless somebody has an idea on how to fix this Darn. Yeah that new update came out pretty much right after I responded to you lol. Any tips in general on how to deal with relatively static okw play with double isgs? He also had the IR halftrack that reduced my commandos to overpriced shocks and gave him constant maphax.

Thread: Simple UKF Base Howitzer Rework23 Nov 2018, 07:20 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Nov 2018, 15:41 PMVipper A HMG might have a range of 45 but is only see 35, a Pyrotechnic Tommy sees 40, going to 50 with vet 1. Being able to bomb the enemy cheaply, accurately early in the game while having vision from range 50 will simply be broken. A Pyrotechnics Tommie can simply scout the area and not walk straight into HMG cone. That’s literally what a mortar is except you don’t have to pay muni every barrage and don’t have to have an infantry squad spotting (obviously in exchange you have to actually buy the mortar).

Thread: USF Tech Changes Mod Changelog22 Nov 2018, 03:54 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2018, 03:29 AMShadowLinkX37 I wouldn't care if it was a 400 damage mine that OHK all axis lights like the teller. So long as it doesn't spell certain death 98% of the time for anything bigger because I can't move my armor away. I think that OHK-ing light vehicles is just as BS as immobilize. Light vehicles are just as valuable to a player when they come out as a p4 or sherman. In: Lobby
Thread: USF Tech Changes Mod Changelog22 Nov 2018, 03:22 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2018, 01:48 AMShadowLinkX37 I understand and I agree 100% as far as pack howie vs mortar goes, and I'm sad that if I do want to get a pack howie i'll have to buy full CPT and still get LT for the HMG. I don't expect people to forego BARs just for the M6 AT mine, but you can very much sacrifice a single BAR for a potential game changing mine. 1x BAR though will not be a game changer in itself. The power of the AT mine remains. Furthermore zooks will see a reduction in usage because of how accessible the AT gun will be. Yeah well it's still much much better than the current situation for usf. That's true, but it's a gamble that, regardless of whether it pays off or not, means that one of your rifle squads is running around losing to basically everything. I agree that immobilization should probably go though. Maybe a 35 muni mine that only detonates on vehicles and does like 80 more damage than a normal mine? In: Lobby

Sory, should have clarified: if you put the mortar in captain tier there'd be no reason to make a mortar instead of a pack howie. Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2018, 21:14 PMShadowLinkX37 smoke Once you're done with BARs and upgrades etc you float munis just like every other faction. I also don't expect players to be planting early M6 AT mines, but if the M20 survives to lategame those mines are devastating. Everything that was said here could be all be applied to the OST HT riegel. Both of them should get this buff or neither. Smoke is nice but I'd rather just blow up the mg or whatever (which the pack howie does pretty reliably). RE/officer smoke is also generally more reliable and quicker, if shorter ranged. Don't get me wrong, it has its uses, but usually I'd still rather have a pack howie than a glorified smoke dispenser. Once you're done with BARs. If you build 3 rifles, that's 360 for 6 BARs, and if you put them on your LT or CPT, then it's 480. If you get double zooks on a squad (presumably your REs) that's 580. Even for just single BARs for each squad that still comes out to 340, but realistically you eventually need double BARs. In: Lobby

Thread: USF Tech Changes Mod Changelog21 Nov 2018, 17:41 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2018, 16:04 PMVipper How about moving the mortar to Captain so there is a reason to go captain instead of Lt Making the airdrop provide a ATG and Pack howitzer so that one can still have access to these type of weapon if one goes LT (howi could also become a call in for more commanders like infantry one replacing the m21) Free a slot for a new ability? There's literally no reason to build a usf mortar instead of a pack howie. The pack howie is just better at everything. Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2018, 16:05 PMShadowLinkX37 M20 feels like it vets really fast, there isn't a whole lot of counter play from OKW BG for it either, unless you want to force cloaked clump rak creep which is just awful to play against. Vet 3 mine laying speed is WAY too fast for a mine that immobilizes. Probably shouldn't add additional mine laying speed for that unit. Immobilize is very punishing and doesn't need to be spammed left right and center if someone keeps an M20 alive. The limiting factor for m20 mines is usually muni, not time. Have fun getting beat with no BARs by cheaper infantry if you spam a ton of m20 mines. M20 stil gets forced off by 1 atg shot (still dies in 2 hits right?) just like a flaktrack would, and has less raw dps than a flaktrack, so I don't really see the problem. It barely has more health than the kubel lmao. In: Lobby
Thread: What should I have done here?21 Nov 2018, 17:40 PM Jump back to quoted post21 Nov 2018, 09:56 AMJoshua85 I can give you a second set of eyes on this if you want. I'm somewhat within your level for 1v1 brits (though negligence and other priorities have eaten a lot of my ladder placement), so I probably won't be able to teach you stuff you don't already know. But I might be able to notice things you missed and just give you a different perspective if you're interested Yeah that would be great. Anything to help me out here wouldbe wonderful, as I'm really at a loss for what to do against this kind of play. In: Replay Reviews
