Wanted to try Armored assault tactics, IS2 seems to come at really good timing with T2 AT gun stall. Similar to Shock Rifle but Radio intercept lets you keep tab on enemy timing to make sure your keeping up. Opponent didn't play that great so game is more proof of concept for me and it worked fairly well. Early pressure and decap from 4 penals allowed me to get my tank first and kept pressure up through the entire game.

Wanted to try T1/T2 back tech with Counterattack but the map didn't seem to be the best choice for Shocks.

Noticed he didn't have fussies, so went engi/penal/clown/2 penals. Not much happens early, poking each other.
Get out flame clown car, bully him for a bit and go for his cut off. Have some decent fights trades are about even.
I lose the clown car to a faust and follow up, lock in commander around this time and also make airborne with PPSh to save on muni.(So much for not being good for shocks.)
His Flak does good job of getting him map, I make AT gun, hit him with it and makes him a bit more conservative.
I finally get base healing to help slow down some bleed while also teching up to get out KV8.
Finally get it out, rush southern gas force him back and decrew RAK, I try to satchel it but P4J makes appearance which surprises me since I didn't think his map control was that much better. He wipes my Penal which is cool.
I had been saving a little MP decide to get 2nd AT gun instead of replacing infantry, during one of his pushes I get Flak track so my infantry can be a bit more aggresive.
I then get out SU85 since he will probably make Panther, which he does make. We poke and prod each other again and I finally get a wipe, Ober squad which drops it LMG. Pick it up with Penal and get my very own terminator squad.
I also build Howitzer to try and slow down any pushes or repairs, it literally gets to VET2 later on with 0 kills, never seen that shit before but whatever.
He pushes me with Panther but 2At guns/SU waiting hit him hard and I think he misclicked and accidently pushed forward again. He loses it and games tilts my way now.
Gets out 2nds P4J which I cant fault him for, good armor and good AI.
He finally get tired of my howi bombarding his side/base so he rushed it with P4J and called in arty strike as he backs out he runs over mine.
Go time, rush him with everything and send my BABY, the KV8 to stall 2nd P4J which kills my KV8 but he loses both tanks. Good trade and I make another KV8. I pretty much spam fear propoganda and push with KV8. He only has 1 vetted squad at this point due to wipes so I win most engagements and win game.

I play every faction equally and even as Axis I have never found 120MM to be overpowered.

It is a literal rng cannon. I have made it some games where the lack of an extra inf unit has lost me game since mortar only aimed at squirrels. Other games if not outright wiping units it has drastically changed outcome of skirmishes due to a well placed hit. However that really applies to all indirect, the issue really ends up being a bad combination of low risk high reward when it comes to it ability to retreat with 1 model. Only thing that comes close is Raks with their ability to creep up with main blob and yolo out of there if shit goes south.

Wanted to make SMG penals, saw he made Fussies which is a bad match up but didn't care. To fight blob I abuse AI strafe and dshka which worked out well. He kept retreating so I assume he thought it was stronger than it was.

Started with engi/Penal x3, I saw he had fussi in loadout so skipped car for now. Had a few skirmishes, won most of them and saw that he did make fussi. I ponder commander choice but fuck it I play this game to have fun. Go with Airborne for my sweet prince(SMG Penals) which happened to already be Vet1. I beat back a sturm even though it was a 2v1 VG/Sturm vs SMG, which i think caught him off guard. Since I usually LV skip I call in Dshka and Airborne Guards and really grab a lot of map along with getting a VG wipe.

He finally gets Flak out and flips the map on me little by little however I have enough gas for double tech up and build T34. I get buildings up and build tank but in the mean time I have to hold off on reinforcements so he pretty much now has entire map. Get T34 out and chase him off north fuel while reinforcing and poking and south side of map where he is was concentrated for a while. I keep poking and prodding him to get him to relocate which causes his flak to run over mine which I quickly come in to kill and run away. Watching the replay he seems to be waiting on Panther or possible stalling for Jagd which works in my favor.

Due to his stalling it gives me a chance to rotate my tanks and I rush his schwerer and kill it with satchel and tanks but lose PTRS Penal. His panther is made just in time and he kills 1 of my tanks but he has to play a little conservatively. Since panther is bad at AI I pretty much ignore it and cap as needed while building another T34. I end up getting 3 and see his panther alone attempting to stop a cap so I rush it with my tanks and ram it from behind(gigidy). Get the engine and then the kill, and run away.

As I am repairing I notice during one of my Strafes his rebuilt shwerer attacked, so rotate again and destroy it. At this point he gets desperate and starts to blob heavily, I am keeping him in check with dshka and AI strafe but its not enough. I get Katy out and get a few good barrages in. Game is heavily in my favor but he doesn't give up, evenutally gets out P4 and attacks south fuel hard. While fighting back I call in AT strafe which he didn't adjust his tank so I assume he thought it was AI. He takes massive damage so I decide to go all in. Get good hits on his blob and ram him again to finish off his tank. GG

I think he either didn't recognize SMG penal or thought it was similar to conscript but he paid for it a few times. Also he seemed to disrespect LMG Airborne with his Obers which he paid for also. Game got out of hand when he remade shwerer in same place if he would have made it in base game might have turned out differently.

Wasn't sure which commander to pick , was floating MP but CP took forever to get. Decided on Shock rifles since I had lost so much map messing around.

Started off fight decent, however I started to float MP waiting on CP to get elites. Lost map control so I had to claw back.
I admittedly played pretty bad, got flamer to remove mg from building, scout car destroyed clown car.
PTRS rifles chased away scout car so it never ended up doing much.
I get MG out to control his gren blob, works decently and get AT out since his map control has been so much better.
I chase his P4 off several times, get 2nd AT gun out and pretty much zone out his tanks.
Finally get IS2 out, at this point I take game over. His AT P4 get bullied and he lost a Pak which I destroy.
I bully him and he tries to flank but KV8 hits the field and wipes and descrews other gun which I steal.
He goes for Panther and rushes me, I kill all 3 tanks and get the W
GG

I played horribly didn't really deserve to win with how bad I played for the first 10 mins but I got it together and pulled it out
