Profile of Fire and Terror

You know brits vicker mg would kill anything from that window not in green cover, before i take it out?

you know that if he rushes vickers there he cant cap any point? If you are already set up an mg up close + pio + gren win vs vickers until it is able to set up as long as you are not dumb enough to put them all on the same side (maybe it will force away your mg if but thats about it)


just put mg on the one window point and the grens on + pios on the other side

EDIT: forgot to mention that vickers is one less section or bren carrier to deal with which is very nice from the brit to bring early game since those are the real pain in the ass

EDIT2: fun fact, flamers dont deal dmg to units inside the fuel trench on rails when attacking them frontally( due to elevation issues i suppose) the same can be seen on the trenches on eindhoven, therefore the main goal of OH vs brits is not to not loose the house, but to not let the brit dig down in the trench.

Just on a personal note, it is better to first try to adapt or improve before blaming game balance. These kind of peaple tend to just say it's broken i cant win, which stops them from actually improving and learning the game. Try to figure out what your opponent will try to do and find creative ways to counter it. Espacially OH has plenty of tools to do so, that way you can catch your opponent of guard. For example using camo MG vet 1 against sniper + radio intercept. Or even crazy stuff like sprinting pzschreck pgrens vs calli . Or ask for small changes that can be implemented without completly changing the game and creating new issues. Like i did with the Jackson armor nerf thred for exmaple, that actually got implemented.

Sturmpio medkit 221 medkit, kübel medkit? Soviet m5 medkit wheeeeeen?

The Panzerwerfer has its own advantages.
good damage (not the best)
large area supression
all rockets are fired in one barage, making it less vulnerable during barrages
a "turret"
high arc of fire making it possible to shoot from behind obstacles
agility
small target size
counterbarrage (which is boderline op in teamgames)

Whats the point of counterbarraging with anything exept of mortars( i know mortar has more range) do you get some sort of buff from just maunally aining the arty you want to barrage? Or is it just easier to micro? Would be nice if someone could clarify this

fun fact the recon pass comes from the base and sweeps to the point you activate the ability of the major and then continues across the map. So you can basically construct a line in your head from the base to the point you click to the area you want recon off. This can be done from the FRP without moving the major

On most maps you can basically cover somewhat over 80% with it

They get the damage reduction instead of lower received accuracy, so that only gives them an advantage against the lethal (80 dmg) radius of some explosives like rocket artillery or grenades. Against small arms however they are not even close to vetted 7 men Conscripts (~570 effective hp vs Cons' 790 effective hp), and worse than 5 men Infantry Sections (645) and squads like Commandos (615) or Rangers (770) or even 4 men Obers (640). The damage reduction also doesn't help against the lethal radius of bigger weapons like tanks or artillery because their lethal AOE radius is higher than 100 damage, and their high received accuracy / target size at vet 3 (0.91) makes them more likely to take damage from small arms which partly cancels out their damage reduction advantage against explosives. They are a durable squad for sure, but I wouldn't call them the most durable squad in the game.

infantry in the lategame doesnt get wiped by small arms fire, its mostly some sort of rocket. Thats why i call them the most durable sqad since even pfussis seem to get wiped easier by rocket barrages then grens.

I just feel like whenever peaple discuss grens is that they forget to mention the 20% dmg decrease at vet3 which is IMO the best vet OH could have ever dreamd off
