PQ said that lower scatter isn't necessarily better ("too low a scatter reduces accuracy at long-range and vs retreating units")

Yeah, it's always easy to forget that not everyone has played an RTS before this - it's not like the game informs you of this itself.

Another cool point is that you can also shift-queue retreat, so cap a far point then shift retreat if you know it will put that squad in crazy danger.

Obviously it makes wire easier ^^.

Cool, I'll tune in

On Pripyat, the best way to counter SU-85s is to abuse the narrow lanes in the middle of the map, and mine your side in case it comes across, if you can flank the Soviet army from both bridges + ice in the middle with all your stuff, you will surround them and can mortar the infantry/suppress with MGs, while tearing at the su-85 with shrecks, paks and P-IVs.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it would be the same for a Soviet player attacking a German hold on the middle of that map. Combined arms to defeat the entire army, not *Blitzkrieg P-IV and hope for the best* as I see some people do. Support your units well and it will reward you.

Mortar smoke and smoke in general would also be incredibly useful on that map, again due to the different approaches.

One other thing to note, a Pak-43 set up just behind and away from whichever VP your base is closest to, will do a great job in denying tank access to your side of the map. Sure you will be bombarded with artillery and it will be a manpower drain, but you deny him using armour to attack your side of the map. It can help if you have a unit to harass artillery (whatever is hitting your pak-43 would have to be outside of their base), and a reinforce bunker or halftrack or such on hand. Just don't expect to be able to sit back and relax once it goes up, you need to pressure the Soviet into making an attack, not building artillery and shelling you to pieces.

You need to dominate both fuels in order to justify rushing a T70, and it should arrive on the field at the 8-9 minute mark, giving it 2-3 mins before the earliest P-IVs are out on the field.
