Hahahahaha! I know, the days of COH: Tales of Valour are still in people's minds but I do feel armies in this game are better equipped to handle it and Infantry Sections can no longer Button your tank anymore! Though if I had to change it in any way, it would be to drive it's slot down to two at most and be a little slower than a Halftrack.

But why bother arguing further for it's inclusion. It will never happen.

PanzerGeneralForever, as I mentioned in an earlier post, Infiltration Commandos lack the utility needed to be infiltration units. They can't disrupt effectively when they lack the ability to use heavy demolition explosives, Artillery Flares or even lay Mines. They are no more than a front line infantry force that's expensive to reinforce. In other words, they are not fulfilling their intended purpose. At least Stormtroopers don't pretend to be something they are not.

All I'm saying is storm troopers definitely need to be fixed before infiltration commandoes do. But I agree both could use a change.

People who think they made this thread to gather feedback are just kidding themselves. They already have their own agenda and nothing stated here is going to change it. A few select group of individuals who have small biases to their factions are now in control and will change the game to their own like. Sad but true.

If they REALLY wanted community feedback there would be a poll in place to see what everyone thought. I requested a poll twice and MrSmith ignored it both times. He's not obligated to but his silence speaks for itself. Time to pick up your opinions and go home. The games already decided without you.

Dont you understand what I said? Of course T34 spam is a viable strategy, just like laying taller mine is a viable strategy to counter ally light vehicle and sometimes it is considered as even op due to the one shot power. However no one would just lay serval tellar mine and think it is enough and shout at forum "Ally vehicle isn't op, just look at the youtube below". This is a viable strategy but simply doesnt reliable. You should try every viable strategy, but you should also notice its weakness and dependency. How if ur opponent brings a minesweeper with its light vehicle? That's why T34 spam is a viable option but never a real counter since it too depend on a lot of other factors. Simply some infantry snare and stealth AT gun to protect the elefant/jagtiger are enough to prevent any flanking. And not to even mention elefant with spotting scope in red ball simply make flanking a joke. This results in ally needs very strong indirect fire to drive out the support beside these heavy tanks before making flanking is possible. However we all know that how poor is USF and UKF in this area if it is not tied to one or two specific commader. It is not like USF players like to go fo calliope or priest everytime, but they are forced to do so to get a basic unit that axis can access whatever.

Ok

So I looked up. I looked at the entire scene, where the Elefant, for no reason, is ordered to move forward, to OVERPASS a T-34, effectively getting itself outflanked.

To make the fail even worse, the Elefant turns its back towards the enemy front.

In this case, the Elefant dies to a massive misplay, after it overextends and gets itself voluntarily flanked.

The reason I got confused however, was that Brosras used the same strategy you proclaim as the cure earlier on:
https://youtu.be/P9OCWfm9al0?t=27m48s

The fact that the Elefant exists causes Brosras to commit the sacrificial T-34's to move in. He sends in 3 of them (not piecemeal as indicate), goes through an unmined flank and of course, loses all of them.

By that point, the Elefant has already payed for itself, and I didn't even count the direct kills that Elefant scored.

So, yes. Elefants do die to massive misplay and overextending. That's not a very reliable way to counter an Elefant though, is it?

Is there another massive-attack vs the Elefant I missed?

Thanks for looking into the video further. I don't ever remember remember "proclaiming" this to be the "cure" for countering the elephant. Thanks again for putting words in my mouth and consistently trying to disagree with me as opposed to finding common ground.

This is the strategy I would use to take down elephants. I think brosras has the right idea with diving with all his tanks as opposed to one by one, but where his plan failed (the first time) was that he dived at the wrong time and with no support. The second time he dived (and took out the elephant) he had his USF ally helping distract the elephant (which is why it moved forward btw) and was far more effective. I'd the enemy is blobbing their tanks, work as a team to take them out, or force them to react by forcing engagements elsewhere. Note the game ended a few minutes after the elephant was killed.

The problem here isn't the elephant being over powered with its alpha damage, it's with a lack of team coordination. That's why first dove failed and second one succeeded.

Another option he could've done was attack the right base sector since the axis would then have to spread their forces and leave the elephant undefended.

Elephants weakness is mobility. Exploit it instead of fighting the losing battles and playing into the enemy hands.

I agree with Mr. Smith.

Also pls. Known 4vs4 clan vs 1vs1 players... and allies got north side on lanzerath ambush. Everybody knows, that topside is way better!!! Its like moscau in 2vs2, or reshwinter....

You saw the 3vs3: C.b vs loxley clan? Where okw raped 2 soviets+ brit( because of cons play)

He asked me how I'd counter an elephant and i gave him an example. I haven't said anything more than that. Go ahead and nerf whichever units you so desire, I'm simply answering a question MrSmith asked me.
