Profile of Theodosios

Hello there wolvak105! Let me give you an overview over what you have encountered, how you have reacted and how you should react in the best of cases (in my opinion). Let's get this review started!


What you have encountered

You and your teammate (random team as far as I can tell) had to battle against double UKF. Both UKF players decided to play rather defensively from the beginning on culminating in constructing and maintaining multiple emplacements.



How you have reacted

Even though you don't play regularly with Mehanik I strongly believe that your regular teammates duke 2v2 matches out as Ost/OKW combo with you. Wherefore I think it is appropriate to point out what your teammate has done wrong so that your regular teammates shall not repreat his mistakes.
What he has done correctly was attacking together with you in early game phase. You both managed to exert pressure on Allies. But his cooperative play ended abruptly when he decided to push forward without real thought and support from you resulting in losing all three Volksgrenadier squads unnecessarily sooner or later. He failed to build more than one LEIG which are crucial in defeating camping double Brits. His Panzer IV and Command Panther handling was devastating since he rushed forward without any support most of the time which also resulted in the loss of both tanks. Finally he dropped around the 25th minute mark.

Sniper and Mortar against double Brits seems alright to me despite your not optimal handling of both. You have done the same mistake as your teammate when you have pushed towards British controlled territory without teammate's support. So in the end both of you failed to land decisive blows except destroying one Bofors which was rebuilt (see your pushes around minute 18 and 21 for example). You completely neglected the opportunity to tech up to Tier 4 at minute 16 (you had more than 300 fuel) and instead ordered 2 Panzergrenadier squads which fed the emplacements even more.



How you should react

General thought: Make the investment in UKF emplacements as inefficient as possible! Save infantry and turtle to tanks. To achieve this aim you have to consider following points:

• General tip: You should hold at least 1 VP (contest mid VP though), 1 fuel and 1 munition point at best.
  
  
• Do not enter the barrage radius of mortar Pits with infantry except when to defend the mid VP! Your natural VP should be fortified so that British forces can hardly contest it (double UKF isn't that great at assaults actually). Do never enter Bofors range when it's not braced.
  
  
• Following these measures will ensure as few infantry casualties as possible thus lower value for emplacements in return. Keep in mind that emplacements mean less motile units thus less assault potential.
  
  
• Defend two VPs by building up a force that is effectively working without the constraint to be in Mortar Pit radius. I.e., OKW player should build two or three LEIGs and Ostheer player should build two Snipers for optimal bleed potential. Two or three MG teams for the whole team, Grenadier squads and proper anti tank (PaK40 + Raketen + mines) should cover those precious units until you hold out to tanks.
  
  
• Tanks will be your main force to finally engage those pesky emplacements. Either Jagdtiger or Elephant is required for this task. Be aware that both majestic tank destroyers work best in combination with excellent vision grant (scopes, reconnaissance flight, flares, Sniper, vet 3 222 and so on).
  
  
• While one player is building up a solid Panther force (2 is a good number) the other one should support its heavy tank destroyer with at least one medium preferably (PIV, StuG, Jagdpanzer IV, Panther if affordable). If possible build Panzerwerfer or Walking Stuka for perfect indirect fire support (hopefully your LEIGs are still alive to be high star) to counter infantry and AT (also don't forget your Snipers).
  
  
• By cautiously pushing with this force you should be able to slowly but surely destroy anything British on the field. If you feel how your foe is weakening (loss of emplacements, tanks and infantry) try to control the third Victory Point.
  

Generally, LMG42 Grenadiers are inferior to 5-man Double Bren Infantry Sections. From the resource input perspective (240MP + 60MU vs 280MP + 120MU + side-tech investment) it's normal that IS pack a bigger punch. Therefore, in engagements you have to outnumber him 2 to 1. For course, use your Rifle Grenades to for him to reposition.

G43 Grens aren't too strong against IS, because you have to close in and the IS will just stand there and shred you.

However, I'd suggest bringing in the support. Grenadiers are the backbone of the WM, but WM is all about support.
- Snipers are great, because they directly remove a model from the fight. However they require you to have excellent micro.
- Mortars are great, because the Brits are heavily cover-reliant and generally static; your mortar will either directly win you engagements or force him to reposition constantly. However they need to be protected in the backline.
- HMG42s are great, because they provide suppression (reduces their DPS) and it has tremendous amounts of firepower all by itself. However it can be outflanked.
- Flamer Pios are great, because the Brits love heavy cover and garrisons, and flamers are a hard counter to those. However they melt quickly when focused.

This post sums it up quite well.

May I add that mortars have the advantage of not being exposed to countersnipers thus being a less riskier investment and having the ability to ignore line of sight blockading obstacles while dealing damage unlike snipers. Be careful about hostile indirect fire sources (especially Mortar Pit) and doctrinal Commandos spawning in buildings (always check British Regiment loadout).

When you call a sniper to battle be aware that your 222 and 251 HT have access to a veterancy 1 ability that exposes hostile infantry on the minimap. This allows you to spot countersnipers in a certain radius.

I will never understand why people in online video games constantly waste their time by playing a game they hate so much. Most toxic people seem like nihilistic masochists to me.

Unfortunately, the only effective thing you can do is growing a stoic stance over such people due to lack of regulatory tools like mute mode and such.
