Thread: USF vs OKW7 Dec 2018, 21:05 PM Thank you all very much, I really appreciate all the feedback. What I found bit surprising, but decided to give it a try, was to go for AA Half Truck against the German FLAK Hanomag. It was one of the most satisfactory things I saw in this game so far, when it practically melted that damn thing. I was also having some success using it against OKW infantry, so I guess I'm a new AA truck fanboy . Which leads me actually to another question: Is there any room for M20 in this match-up? I mean, the MG on M20 is nice and I swap the crew with RE for the free bazooka, but all in all, AA HT seems to be doing everything better, even if I need to wait bit longer to gather the fuel required.

Thread: Looking for team-mates7 Dec 2018, 16:26 PM Hi Woco, Invite acceppted. I don't believe level matters at all. You can max out playing against easy AI, tough that won't make you a better player. As I wrote already I sometimes do play as Wermacht. See you in game soon hopefully. In: Mentoring
Thread: USF vs OKW3 Dec 2018, 13:51 PM @Pedro - I think there is a slight misunderstanding. My main concern are Sturms not Volks. I consider Sturmpioneers to be assault grens on steroids, as STG44's range is greater than MP40's. Still I did go for early mortar with great effect, so thanks for that . @CODGUY - I really wouldn't like this topic to turn into a balance related discussion, even if there are clearly balance issues. Otherwise USF wouldn't be getting a buff. I am very aware of the problem, hence why I'm trying to find out how more experienced players have managed to get around that. But yes, I'd love if USF had MG as a T0 rather than a mortar. That's just my wishful thinking. @Lago - Yes, rushing to get BARs as soon as possible is what I've been trying to do so far. I didn't know a single BAR can tip the balance to my favor in 1 on 1 engagements. That's a nice little fact there. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: USF vs OKW2 Dec 2018, 16:52 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Dec 2018, 14:31 PMPedro_Jedi <snipped for convenience> Thank you for that Jedi. Really appreciate your feedback. I guess I had the right tools, just need to practice execution. From what you wrote, I understand that M1 is still superior to STG44 in long range? If so, then I indeed need to put emphasis on kiting at early stage. I guess I'll sacrifice expansion early in the game to keep at least two units together at all time, instead of spreading them to capture as many point as possible. The mortar part makes sense I guess, coming to think about it. I use it mostly to create smoke screen during assaults, but I'll try to get it sooner to force opponent's movement, as you advised. Good point. In: US Forces Strategies
Thread: USF vs OKW2 Dec 2018, 09:45 AM Hello, I'm fairly new player and I'm trying to improve my 1v1. While I feel I'm doing relatively well against Wermacht, I struggle against OKW, especially in early game. While using Riflemen I am able to handle Grens and Pioneers quite well, as I can out-dps the first and out-range the latter. I think STG44 beats my guys in both ways. What would be the best way to counter units armed with STG44 early on? Rush to Lieutenant and then getting MG on the field ASAP? Another unit I struggle against is the 20mm mobile FLAK. So far I tried to counter it like 222, with bazookas, tough while not necessarily tougher, the FLAK seems to be dealing a lot more damage. Thus I'm forced to retreat my guys before they can deal the final blow. I know that Stuart is a thing, however my micro of light vehicles is appalling and I struggle to keep it alive long enough to be able to return the investment. I know this is not an issue with game itself and I should (and will) simply practice more, however I'd like to learn an alternative, if there is a viable one. Thanks in advance for advise!

Thread: Looking for team-mates30 Nov 2018, 21:52 PM Hi, As per topic, I'm looking for person/people to play/practice with. To this day I have played about 100 games or so. I must admit though, bulk of these games happened back in 2014. As you can see I had quite a pause. I mostly play USF, SOV with and odd game as Wermacht. While I'm far from being an expert, I find allies to be more challenging, thus rewarding, as I feel it's easier to force reaction as Wermacht, to which Allies then need to adapt to. Again, that's just my impression, so don't pick up those forks and torches just yet . I'm mostly a 3v3, 4v4 nooblet, tough I'm trying to improve my 1v1 recently. I don't want to ruin some random dude's day by going 2v2 just yet . Anyway, I'd love to play with somebody, who don't mind a loss every now and then. I haven't seen an Ender Wiggin in RL, who would win every game every time - practice makes master. So, as long as you endure me I promise to endure you . Maybe we'll get better together eventually. My nick ingame & Steam is Sartori. I try to play most evenings (Central European Time), tough RL is a bitch and that's obviously not always possible. Oh, and Magnus did nothing wrong. In: Mentoring
