I honestly don't understand AT ALL why so many ppl see this replay of a great example of why the Ace is OP.

Ost did not prepare for the Ace AT ALL:
A) No mines on the roads.
B) Baseraping Siberian with 3 T34s (THE weapon against Ace) when one look at his own CPs wouldve let Ost know it was about time for the Ace to come.
C) Tried a few lazy rams on the front armor of the Ace. No attempt whatsoever to even hit it in the back.

For christ sake Siberian had used NONE of his doctrinal abilities, he might've as well played without a commander until that moment. Meanwhile he was getting raped to shit by the Sturmovik.
Had Ost just stopped spamming the Sturmovik (LOL btw to complain about Elite Troops when you use Sturmovik yourself) and MINED the roads this game wouldve ended completely differently. Also, baseraping with T34s is fine, but not when the game hits the 16CP mark. SAVE your T34s for a ram, preferably after the Ace hit one of your mines so you can easily hit the back. Finish it off with a howie, or SU85's. 10 minutes of no resources for your opponent guarantees you the win in that case.

All this replay showed me is that if you make no effort whatsoever to prepare for the Tiger Ace you will lose a game.
