Good coordination is everything in teamgames. Your team has to select the right doctrine combos, has to build to cover each others weaknesses, and has to communicate with each other. You have probably been in a game, with randoms, where no one chose a doctrine with airstrikes, call in arty, or recon planes in them, and got obliterated by m20 leifh
My friends and I are in and out of top ten as axis. We spam bunkers and mines to cover our flanks or resource points. It is pretty common to see ten bunkers in our games at one time. Mortars, snipers, walking stukas, pwerfers, lefh and brumbars protect our bunkers from at guns. If one gets destroyed they are cheap to rebuild. Bunker spam is common knowledge for top players. If you are floating resources you would be retarded not to build one.
I agree, I don't really think bunkers are too strong, sometimes they work out well, most often they die without too much trouble. Thats .6 of a fuel cache someone isn't building or half the cost of a new squad.
Bunker spam becomes op when you add indirect fire to the equation. Everyone spams bunkers in high 3v3-4v4 play.
Yep, sounds easier than sitting back with cheaper 60 range tanks i guess...
No different than the elephant sitting back. If you are having trouble assaulting TDs combine Panthers with cas. One of the doctrines has a tiger in it.
You ever used snares? A Panther with broken engine is a gg, use your range and Panther can't deal tank-destroyers. You will not have more than 2 Panther, because of pop-cap (if you wan't to rep them with more than one Pio).
Panther is only useful versus heavies, beside that there are better solutions.
Axis have elephant, jagtigers, and snares. Do what allies have to do to kill one of those beasts. Why do axis players frontally assault everything instead of flanking?
I think there is a lot of consensus that giving riflemen some kind of new upgrade so they play differently would benefit this commander. If they do another commander revamp i think this one will be front of the list.
Think they should add a sniper to the doctrine. Maybe you could get one instead of an officer.
