Profile of rumartinez89

Highlights:
Over aggressive P4 and KT killed by 3 T34/ram/AT overwatch
Flamehetzer did fairly well, AT overwatched it as I didn't want it to snowball brit player
Katy started slow but well targeted creeping barrages got my kill count up
Brit mine killed some grens and wiped retreating Obers, for some reason mine sweeper didn't sweep and left line of sight
Killed 2nd KT with flank using PTRS Penal

Lowlights:
Started winning my match up real hard, well placed stuka knocked out 3 squads at once
Caught KT rebuild out of position, bounced rear armor about 3 times
My sniper got caught out of position, took forever to get it going

For the love of RNGesus:
Felt bad for OST player, he dived perfectly with P4 to secure cromwell kill possibly even Sexton, bounced 3 times in a row. T34 came in and saved the day

Garrison provides "cover bonuses" for units like IS/Ostruppen but that about it.

I could have swore in the past(years ago) squads got a small reload bonus from being in a building so units with long reloads like snipers/PTRS got a benefit from being inside.

Not going to lie I have played like ass recently. Been playing other games recently and I can tell that I am getting beat by guys I should be stomping.

Got early MG wipe with satchel and Sturm wipe on retreat
Lots of early rotation and flanking due to loss of MG, Axis did pretty good job of counter rotating
Did a decent job of using Commissar buffs, better job of fear prop and tanking advantage with Penal blob
Mines by USF and I gave us plenty of warning and helped stopped a couple flanks and pushes
Axis did great job of punishing overly aggressive tank plays
Went for NKVD as I was expecting Ele and KT, AT overwatch did great job of scaring tanks out of pushes
Katy didn't have a high kill count but did have a few timely wipes that really helped stop axis counter blob to my blob.

I am have not intentional of following down the path you have chosen that derail this threat.
What you seem to fail to understand is that you are more focused in picking a fight with me than arguing or contributing anything to this thread.

Pathfinder/Scott if problematic combination, but is not very relevant to overwatch commander since they are different commander across different factions.

On post I have 54 I have explained why rumartinez89 comparison is not very help it does not take into account an number of variables.

I have also posted the about the problems with JLI/Pathfinder and I have suggestion on how to fix them (timed ability).

My lack of response was due to us agreeing that they should not be spammable not that I agreed with any of the points that you made.

1. The fact that half the squads need to close in is a win for the OKW player. That means that the JLI and any supporting units are receiving less damage as the Allied units position themselves for better engagements. But, what about the long range focused squads as they cost more they should in theory perform better.

Taking Airborne LMG guards as an example since I tested this one about a month or 2 ago.
A 360MP, 100muni and CP2 unit wins by a significant margin when both units are out of cover. 6 out of 6 times with Airborne having 3/4 models remaining.
The mere addition of light cover which I made using a land mattress with both units at max range as that is where they are both supposed to be used had JLI winning 4/6 times with a model or 2 remaining. Behind green was a stomp in favor of the JLI which I don't remember the Airborne winning once.

I haven't tested Rangers, but I would assume they would lose also despite being a CP3 long range focused unit until they are upgraded with Thompsons.

Point being JLI(and Paths vs Gren damage reduction) sniper weapon can disregard some of the strongest attributes of Allied elites such as Armor for Shocks or RA for Rangers. They have extended vision which allows them to react preemptively to their counter.

2. This point only stands for 1v1, in 2v2 and above there are players that go Kubel into 2 volks/2 JLI or sometimes 2 Kubel into 3 JLI. They have similar strengths so what works for one can work for the other. Any LV weakness can be covered by T0 rak, despite it being unreliable no one is going to keep their LV around as JLI can easily spot for it in the same way you mentioned Scott/Paths.

3. All this means is that the Pathfinders can do it more consistently, any dropped LMG will make a JLI self sufficient maybe even self-aware. Jokes aside, OKW has stock access to LMG Obers which will feed the crits for JLI.

4. It is only 1 CP it is not that much later. CP1 vs CP2 is similar time, CP1 vs CP3 is quite a distance yet JLI compete with those units especially if any light cover is present. And yes the Pathfinder lower XP is a problem and should be corrected but they also have lower vet bonus compared to JLI and most if not all other mainlines

Fuck it. Command and Conquer Red Alert style Tanya/Boris unit. What could go wrong.

Just give it a 2 sec set up call it firing position, can’t move only fire. Has a 2 sec tear down just like MG so even if you spam retreat it is guaranteed to take some damage from everything except maybe rear echelons.
