I not only play the same side of the map every time in team games but I also seem to play the same position every single time in team games.

Clearly starting positions were not fixed.

This thread is definitely full of CoH players who are more like CoD players than RTT players.

Play an RTT like Men of War and you'll get a better feel for how armor actually works.

1. Most tanks are killed by AT guns hitting their flanks.

2. Rocket launchers in ambush claim a great deal of tanks too

3. When 2 tank forces fight, they don't duel. They gtfo and snipe unless they're already in close combat and must engage. Humans tend to take the path of least resistance/most rational choice for staying alive. Those Sherman pileups by Jadgetigers are the result of the Germans being overrun at every turn and setting ambushes. They are from ambushes.

4. Frontal armor is hit the most. But at a rate of about 35% (from historical US army statistics). The Sherman wasn't uparmored because they realized that the frontal armor doesn't take even half the shots. A good tank has proper frontal and side armor. The panther, in a RTS game with a bird's eye view, can be microed to keep its front facing the enemy. In the chaos of war, not a chance. In a RTT, it's still very difficult.

5. Sloped armor is doubly sloped when you angle the tank. Getting a straight on shot is a rarity outside of ambush.

6. Crew is the biggest X-factor and probably the biggest factor anyway, as the Battle of France showed. Exhaustion and training make all the difference.

7. Logistics and producability are more important than fighting ability. As someone pointed out before, the USF could equip it's infantry with many more tanks and needed not horde its tanks. It's tanks could be kept on the offensive against infantry and defensive against other tanks. Meanwhile, the German tanks had to be on the offensive almost only because they simply didn't have enough tanks. The Battle of Arracourt shows how superior crew training and tanks in the defensive can defeat larger numbers of superior tanks.

8. You are all used to playing video games and need to think about how chaotic war really is. If you want a taste, and it's merely a very light taste, trying playing a game where you never use focus fire. Just attack move and a little bit of move, and where abilities are used randomly and miss all the time. People in war don't duel for K/D. They all try to survive on their own. K/D is an incidental thing that can give clues for an army's performance but is so very much tied to circumstance that it's a very rough estimate. Look at the Western Front: the allies tended to suffer about even casualties overall with the Germans

Fury and the other E8 would've easily penned the tiger at that range. 2 cannons vs 1 and the E8s can fire on the move. Guess who wins?

err hmmmm COD1 COD2 and CODUO

sorry I forget that preCoD 4 CoDs are CoD

Those are good games too. I think CoD 4 tops the series still but CoD 1 was the shit, UO was interesting, even finest hour beats the modern CoDs. 2 man...best Singple Player campaign in CoD

I'm getting sick of players who refuse to surrender when a player or 2 drops and/or our team is being royally fragged.

Surrender mechanic is good but sometimes...going afk midgame is the only rational choice
