Give OKW so actual counters, and I think the ML-20 would be fine. The LefH deffo needs a scatter reduction or something else to make it more attractive than the ML-20 because right now it's worse in every way except shells fired.

Doesn't it have a faster cooldown on the barrage?

Plus we all know LefH way better with vet ability counter-barrage

There should be punishment for being routed from the field. If the player has invested 600 MP, which is a hefty amount and difficult to save for in the mid game, he should have the ability to extensively punish routing blobs from the field by bombarding the enemy base. Retreats should be as tactical as your advances, if you've blobbed up your forces and A-moved then had it routed, you deserve to have it hit by the barrage on your base and take the increased MP bleed for it.

I will admit it is annoying as hell when one unit is instawiped while sitting there etc; but I don't feel half as bad when my Sturmtiger is doing the wiping. If my entire army is in one place and gets nailed by a barrage I don't think 'Nerf artillery!'; I realise it was actually pretty poor play by me to have it gathered up in that situation.

You shouldn't need LoS to fire. You've scouted the position and so know what you're shooting at. In terms of range, in 1v1 shooting the base sector should be allowed for reasons above, but it can be extensively annoying.

OKW counterplay is difficult 1v1 as it requires almost definite sacrifice of a tank, or a risky assault followed by a stuka. 2v2 and up it is usually fine, don't complain about trucks being bombed: OKW forward positions should absolutely be allowed to be targeted (where base sectors are often out of reach); it's the price you pay for the shenanigans you get to employ. If I deploy my trucks outside my base sector I am aware that I am opening them up to be easily barraged (and the more forward the truck, the more accurate the barrage on it).

Move around your stuff in the FoW. The luftwaffe didn't forget where London was each night of the blitz and need to recon it first

Thanks, that's great.

Don't bother talking to this guy, he's just toxicity on wheels, cherrypicks history and examples in games and is soooooooo passionate (ahem abusive) of certain units in the game.

He has an over 10k ranking anyway while trying his very best to make us think he has a under 1k.

Nice flame. 10/10. Would forum again. Keep up the helpful discussion.


SU-76 is fine I think, if you build it after quad I believe it comes out just before 1st opposing Ostheer T3 unit. Counter heavy soviet T3 with heavy Ost T3 with Stug Gs especially. If the Soviet players stay T3 the Ostheer T3 will overwhelm them once you have several tanks out, in my experience anyway.

Jonky, it's a team game for a reason. What army was your ally? Soviet or America, what commander did he go?

If you let us know these factors I can help you out more.

Mark target is a must in these games if your ally was Soviet. He is was USA, p-47s is what you need or even easy eight flank.

Your allies choice needs to support your team. You need to talk and communicate with each other.

Almost NEVER instantly pick a commander unless you have a direct tactic you work with.

Let us know more details.

So the problem is my ally almost always insists on going for B4 (Counterattack) but builds it late, which pigeonholes me further into heavy tank builds. He only plays SU as he prefers being comfortable in what he's doing. To be fair he is trying Shock Rifle more now, but not in this particular game.

In general my commander choice is Guards Mech (ISU), Shock Rifle (IS-2) and Guards Motor/Armoured Assault as I feel it gives good tactical variability along with late game tank potential.

It's true in this game I did not give him ample support on his side at all, I'd taken all of my side and was fighting over their munitions, but he was getting bludgeoned by Ostheer medium armour. I could have been far more aggressive against the OKW headquarters or gone to help him. I was just wondering if I could have done anything against the JagdTiger at that point in the game; after those mistakes had been made, or if it had been built into something unwinnable.

In this game I went for shock rifle between the 3 and 5 CP mark for AT gun camo on the open fields and the shock smoke as I had no mortars, along with incendiary barrage on the OKW medic truck and the late game IS-2 with multiple SU-76 support.
