It doesn't deserve a cast, this battle was awful #noskillinvolved #noobparty #spamofthecentury
About the Mechanized Regiment HQ. I didn't want to go for pumas or a flak truck because this map is perfect for mines + ATGs thus light vehicles become very limited.
Tbh I feel that OKW really needs a T0 unit capable of suppressing squads.
Ok, interesting, what do you mean by they cost 440 mp? Do you mean in terms of reinforcement cost or what? I'm pretty sure they enter the battlefield with 290mp cost. Doesn't this mean that it would almost be cheaper to just let them act as a throwaway squad? (55 x 4 = 220 for full reinforce.)
They are supposed to cost 440mp for the squad and 55/model. They role is an elite squad, effective at long range and harrassment, they are not cannon-fodders.
About the Pathfinders, they are recon and airborne support infantry. With their beacons it's possible to reinforce next to it. Apart from that they are similair to snipers.
Call-ins strikes, heavy long range implacements, and overwhelming armor rushes. It's just as hard for the US to kill a Jagdtiger considering all they have most the time is short barrel M4s.
Call-in strikes can be avoided easly, heavy long range emplacements are arty-magnets and overwhelming armor rushes end up in tears due to ATGs and mines. It'll be extreamly hard to deal with. Even the current factions can't deal with it if they don't lose half of their army.
And about the USF, don't forget the M36 and how often you see a Jagdtiger (income problems for OKW). The soviets can just call-in a ISU-152 and still have the resources to build an army of whatever, while OKW won't have any other vehicle.
Also please stop trying to make it seem like their best used armor was the Ha-Go. The Ha-Go was a light tank that wasn't designed to go against other tanks. It was their most used since it was the best for the small island battles where there where no real tank battles and maneuvering was difficult. It was much more like the stuart.
Japan's main medium tank was the Chi-Ha:
Which while not quite as good as allied equivalents, was able to penetrate most allied armor at reasonable ranges. Seeing these things go toe to toe with shermans and T-34s wouldn't be ridiculous.
Then tell me what would you do vs a ISU-152 or KV-8? What about M4 spam? Japs don't fit into the game, it's better not to leave Europe and make retarded match-ups and bs balance.
Compleatly outplayed my opponent who made shit tons of mistakes, yet he still had the chance to comeback. This replay shows how forgiving and Overperforming is the USF and how bad the OKW is at everything.
I suggest you ppl to stop playing axis (especailly OKW) 'till a patch rolles.
