I've found that placing mines near the base will warn you of incoming tanks trying to blast the base. Especially if he's going Luch or Puma to sneak in.
Also....I understand why he did the arty in the 2nd game. But I'd have to agree with MM in the first game. It was simply abusive because Sage was already doing well. He had more maps control and seemed to be coming out better in the exchanges so why the need for the base arty?
Pros should not need this ability but the med/noobs use it as a ditch resort to win a possible losing game which I'm fine with.
Sage if using it with honor would just be using it near capping points or VPS. No need to go and blast a base when you are winning.
Minnie....when using M3 just snipe instead or use maxims to sherm spam or shocks. Much better then scripts. I have yet to see a strat where scripts beat OKW easily. It's an uphill struggle. I agree they are good for the Flak HT because of at nades...but once he pulls ou obers or Luchs....trouble. Or Ostwind.
