Profile of Funkeh

I had a game yesterday where I outplayed my opponent (killed 2-3 PIVs with conscripts and AT gun, I went shock troops), decrewed and stole 3 MG 42s and eventually killed a tiger (I did get 2 T-34s by this point, but mainly to hunt Opel trucks) AND got an M5 with the AA upgrade (ZSU whatever).

Unfortunately, strafe just wins anyway. This guy was so confident of winning that he base-rushed me with 2 PIVs (one at a time), and both died the same way. The thing is, strafe just stops capping at crucial times, and makes the infantry engagements incredibly one-sided to the point where the Ostheer player merely uses their infantry to cap..

But I don't need to tell you guys this as you already know if you have been on the receiving end of strafe. My M5 did manage to take out one plane out of the three that arrived, and I probably could have just edged out a victory, yet I got too frustrated by it. Not raging, just annoyed that I was playing my arse off and this guy was just a-moving.

I guess that's something I can work on, but as a Soviet that pretty much only goes t2-t3 with shocks, I can't win against a decent Opel blitz player, and am about 50-50 with players far worse than me, as long as they use that commander.

1.As you already stated, Panther has 960HP, but T-34/76 can only deal 80damage/shoot . 960/80=12(penetrated), SU-85 has 160damage/shoot, 960/160=6 shoots (penetrated)
6 penetrated shoot from a T-34/76 or 3 penetrated hits from SU-85 will kill a Panther in your dream., you've failed all your math courses since primary school aren't you?


2. T-34/76 has 45mm 60° slope upper hull armor, and T-34/85 has 110mm turret front armor.
as you are doing "GREAT" in your mathematics, 45mm/sin30°=90mm>80mm(PZIV) , of cuz you won't understand that.

3.using 2*T-34/76+AT nade vs. one PZIV, doing a little math here(I knew you had a hard time in math, 240/95*2+125/25 vs.320/115. that means you dump 605MP/215fuel to deal with a 320MP/115FUEL(soviet T3 and ostheer T3 are having a similar costs to get), and your conclusion is T-34 is a little UP?

I sincerely hope you are joking or trolling.......

Win. T-34 variants are pretty good with vet, but very difficult to get there imo. By comparison to a pIV with vet 2-3 though, they are awful still ^^

Beating a person who abuses strafe.

Exactly, most artillery has short enough range (BM-13/Panzerwerfer/mortars), that if he can hit your base, he must have the whole map. Howitzers can't shoot that often and are fairly inaccurate, and off-map requires line of sight (either a further muni dump, or being in your base with a tank etc.)

I approve this thread.

lol when you want to have a creative endgame then just play creative .My favourite tactic in the moment with ostheer is a elefant rush because soviets always get the su 85.YOu just have to use the fact that a lot of players use standard tactics and then counter them with a creative tactic.Then players will have to play differntly and the endgame becomes more creative nad fun.Standard tactic P4 vs Su 85 Tankhunter vs Tank LOL really ?not very clever ?

Rushing an Elefant sounds quite transparent though, i.e. you would be spending no fuel yet aggressively capping them. Not quite sure how I'd deal with it when it came out though. Thankfully I tend to go t2-t3, so I would at least be able to ram it
