But in my opinion it completly kills gameplay. Just think about best casts you have seen. Were they regular battles?
actually yes. for example the game last weekend where a player made a comeback with stuart spam+pershing iirc. or that one game some months ago where barton made an insane tank rush. orhans pak wall completely wrecking the enemies tank army, or or or
yes, a game without RNG would be more stale, but the amount of RNG is too high atm aswell, at least in my opinion

you also have to consider grenades, vet, upgrades, mortar or mg support, different abilities, etc.
to get a good feeling for that either play the game or use janne 252s cheat command mod 2 to test all that. (you can us my map called "testmap", its a straight map without any objects /shameless plug) |

i agree and would definetely go partisans.
while rifleman has fallen out of favour (although it is by no means bad), partisans is very good atm, especially with many soviets going t1 (it is a good alternative to guards) |
The whole claim that blobbing is rampant, and needs to be fixed rests on the presumption that we share a meaningful understanding of the term, and I'm not convinced we do.
well i will try to give you a strict definition of what most other people seem to graps intuitively:
a blob is 3 or more units that were issued the same move commands (or act like that)
The issue is your perception of blobbing. Why would you be able to stop 7 squads with 2?
because MGs are the counter to a high concentration of infantry within their arc. if 2 of them are not able to stop a blob, they are not effective enough. simple. and we have seen time and time that they are not good enough. be it sprice RE blobs (yes, he does blob them) or the PG blob at the early stages, or the volks blob, or the conscript+ptrs blob. and i know im not the only one with this opinion.
|
Fundamentally, my scepticism derives from the fact that this doesn't seem to appear in competitive play.
that is wrong. see captain sprice' blob tactics, whether it be RE blob, volks blob or rifle blob. and yes, its effective, he has beaten top players with that |
You boys sure you didn't farm them through some illegal ways before the War Spoils 2.0 update?
no, this is a totally different issue. the last patch seems to have deleted supply for some people. this is unrelated to farming. |
I think it's fascinating to see such a basic and reliable military principle as concentration of force being dismissed as "brainless tactics". Apparently, C21st gamers understand the military sciences far better than any historical general... or claim to, at any rate.
hehe, WW1. yep, concentration of force against MGs was really powerfull there. the generals clearly did know it better then us
btt:
i think most mgs need a higher supression AOE and a tad more supression itself. furthermore, my mg42 for example sometimes need ages to switch to another squad, giving them the chance to nade me. fixing that would help, too |
|
i dont think that this is necessarily an lmg problem, as lmg 42 and 34 and dp28 are surely fine
the problem lies withing ostheer and pzgrens, ost has no good offensive unit. i just think that pzgrens without schrecks need a severe buff, for a unit hidden behind tech and 340 manpower expensive, they just suck. |
man power like old one but a lot heavy tank like 1200 or more
i think that heavy tanks are fine, considering you can only have one. the real problem are the mediums imo |
Thread: SP maps 18 Aug 2016, 10:57 AM
i actually farmed probably at least half of that time, probably even more.
but no, it doesnt. 2v2 AT has so many combinations and maps, and the interaction with friends is fun aswell. |
