Just accept the loss bro. You lost to a lower ranked guy who doesn't play as much as you...it happens. |
LOL. |
Pretty entertaining. Either way those early snipers are a pain to worry abuot but also a pain to manage. Gotta be really careful. He also could have won easier as he was floating huge amounts of MP and wasn't making any more troops for no good reason. I guess he felt no need to make any more troops, lol. |
Wow...interesting strat against OKW indeed...insane cons...was so fun to watch. |
So this guy is staying pretty even with me...has a few good exchanges with some maxims. I lose some, but then mortar kills entire sturm squad. Justified I guess. I bled some of his MP with mines.
He goes for 1 Panther, then 1 Command Panther.
I had 1 IS 2 and I lost my first AT gun. I was completely boned until he decided to retreat the Panther that wasn't in trouble just because it had taken 1 hit from an AT gun. OK with me. I'll reman that AT gun and bring in the IS 2 I've been saving for.
The funniest thing about this game was the deciding factor in it was a few tiny things on his part.
#1 - losing my KV-1 was a distraction. But it allowed me to fire barrage the fuel where he had an AT gun. I nabbed that and stuck it into a building with maxims. Since no Stukah....didn't have to worry about getting plastered. It was sort of worth it considering the fact his AT gun inside the building comes into play later on when he rushed his 2 Panthers in.
#2 Not making pumas. Not sure this would have made a difference but since I didn't have guards....it might have been troubles.
He said that IS-2's are too cheap at 230 fuel. And he claimed that the slow ass IS2 is better than Panthers. Well....I disagree. I didn't kill his tanks with just 1 IS 2. He lost 1 Panther to I believe 1 mine, and several shots of vetted AT guns. Not sure if he was paying attention to the one that died but it had nothing to do with the IS2. Plus....his Panther had vet2 and had more kills than either one of my IS2s had.
The end was funny. |
Nah. It's not that great against WM. Plus...I've used it but it's only as good as the player. |
Gotta love that rage. |
The thing is....this proves playing better does not win you the game. Barton clearly showed Guards and Snipers are tough to beat. I don't know whether or not maxims is a better strat or not because I'd have to see Jesulin lose to maxim spam.
Jes could have won this match though. Had he had more time. As the game was ending he was just about to cap. Barton threw away the first ISU being overconfident...Imagine had he had 2 ISU on the field at once. That would have been nice.
I tried this strat once and I'm not even good at it and I beat some OKE guy. Just attempting it and I won. Jelly is very good at maxims though....its pretty crazy to see him take out a top 20 guy like that. Although I'm not surprised because I'm sure I'd lose to it myself. |
Getting tired of fighting maxims...seems like the only strat viable for soviets.
Here after losing 3 in a row I tried something a bit different and turtled up for the VPs.
WM did a good job as well pushing in with Tiger. |
Guys pushed in really aggressive. Setup a FHQ and it looked very grim.
We played thru and got some good kills.
This you will see. Sturmtiger taking out 2 su85 with one shot. Who says it's useless. HEHE.
Pak 43 doing some justice as well. Keeping them at bay while we advanced forward. Stukah action as well to take out the FHQ that was at first a blessing...now a curse.
Pretty much losing entire game on VP. Wasn't really an issue after 2 FHQ's went down. |
