^^^ I'm getting good at spotting these people. These usually go to the chat room and say "Come Join my game, good players only, etc." Sometimes they try and bait you, i.e "I'll beat anybody on here" If you ask them to join your game, they say no, you have to join there game.
If you check their stats, it's all basic match, no automatch. And of course it's the usual impossible stats like 150-2

yes of course combined arms is the goal. But the t1-T3 strat usually means wehr going at least 2 pumas straight up. Stugs are crap at anti inf until you vet 2 them, so a good wehr player isn't going to waste his time with that to press the advantage if you went bars. So a quick t4 with m10s will ruin a puma party. Of course if you see multiple vetted stugs, you're going to need AT guns as a back tech.
A lot of wehr players go couple pumas backed up with a pak and shrecked grens (either t1-t2-t3 strat or with t2 as a back tech)and then just wait it out for KT or Tiger. So here you definitely need all 4 tiers. |

I'm west coast time. I usually play in the 10pm to midnight range sometimes later.
It's touch and go. Lately I must say though I have been getting games pretty easy and against evenly matched players. Maybe 5 minute wait.
Spam drop hackers though have returned. They were gone for a while but they're back in mass. Not talking about the kind that drop if they're going to lose, but insta drop just to build stats. |

Forget what I said. Go with Tommy : )
The reason I'm finding t1-t3 hard to counter is because I'm new to US play. Only have about 100 games but I'm doing ok, already lev 13ish.
I've always thought US should and did dictate the tech choices, but I'm slowly learning that you need to react to what wehr is doing as well. i'm blindly going bars or nades without reading the signs (that I should know so well since I primarily play Wehr).
I watched TFN expert insight with DevM and I think the strat he used in the game is probably the most dangerous if you can master it.
Fast M8, then sniper (while you build up fuel), to bars, maybe a SY upgrade in there as well.
It allows you to hold off a jump to t3. In the chance wehr goes vetted t2, you have sniper power. And eventually you get bars to help rifles vet up. |

Ab not good against t3 perse. I think rangers are better, plus they come equipped with zooks. So you put the muni to use in mines that you would use on RR. You really need AT gun, but rangers better than paratrooper as last resort, against T3. And really T4 is the counter to wehr t3.
I usually play as wehr, but started playing US lately. At my lev (about 13/14) I'm seeing a lot of t1-t3 play. Still trying to figure it out myself. If you don't have mines down and you're holding off with only Rangers or Paratrooper, and even 1 AT, you're done. It's very difficult to beat.
I usually don't play t1-t3 when playing as wehr, but I'm finding it really difficult to beat. As US, if you go Bars, you spent fuel before his tech choice. If you go M8, it'll help, but once stugs and storm roll out out, you're now out teched. In the latter, your M8 can hold off the puma/s, and then you can go AB, para and At guns (in preparation for Stugs), backed up by snipers. But if you go bars first and don't hold him off fuel, you're in trouble. Mine spam to hold off until you can get T4 |

against multi vetted flamers you need your own flamers and bars help too. Are we talking blobs here or just a couple pios? I played this guy once who built 10 pios, vet 3, flamers on most. Took me 3 or 4 games to figure it out. Strafe was big help too.
By the time you notice a vetted T1 strat, you've made your tech choice, either nades, bars, or SY. So you have to adjust accordingly. If you're on SY, then M8, get some mine sweepers and go to work. Harassing his base and then maybe dropping arty on key building is nice.
If you went bars or nades, it's tricky because flanking will be difficult with multi MG. Probably need to go WSC and go mortar and sniper. Have Airborne or Rangers as back up AT last resort. Place your own mines all over to hold off a base rush or cut off move. Keep him off fuel so he can't go fast and multiple puma. Buy time to get your T4 up. |

yeah, it happens.
I think I've heard it's a graphics card issue (maybe when it gets hot or just randomnly). I've had it happen maybe 1 in 75 games kind of thing.
all my hot keys stop working, it doesn't select unit or allow you to control anything.
i used to think it was a hack or something, but I've heard a few people talk about it. It's not just on 2.7, used to happen on older versions to. |

I don't know if it's Steam or the game, but I keep dropping here and there. I know my internet connection is fine in 95% of the cases because everything else I had online stayed connected.
It happens more than it should. Once or twice here or there, no problem, but it's like once in every 10 games.
I know there's people deliberately dropping to pad stats, but this makes me wonder how many people I thought were doing this before, just have same issue I do.
Would be nice to have a reset of the leader boards because of this.
Don't know how complex it would be, but perhaps the formula should be if a game drops, both sides get a win, however, the person who dropped does not advance in rank, leader board, etc. That would pretty much negate the rationale for spam dropping.
Other thing I miss is how many people are searching for games as ally or axis. |

yeah boy!!! |

Look, I would love to see a patch or at least get us some of the things like leader board, map check off, fix drop hack auto win, etc.
But I don't get this unplayable thing. I've got almost 500 games and I'm not playing crazy hours. I play about 15-20 hours a week, at probably the worst time to get a game because all of Europe is off.
When you play a game and it's a GG, add that person to steam. I now have about 15 regular players around my skill level that I can basic match if auto isn't pulling anybody through.
Also, in the chat room ask if someone wants to 1v1. You'd be surprised how many games you get.
Automatch would be great, but it's broken. No one is their real level so it's worthless anyway. Adapt or die. |
