This is usually caused by your internet. It happens to everyone, and is a feature of the "Battle Servers" that you connect to. Instead of lagging everyone, the player who is lagging will stutter and catch up.

Some people have said that if you do not minimize the game once you load, this is less of a problem.

It's easy to ask for the world, but the shipping cost is huge.

I've been a long-time fan of 3v3 and 4v4. The logistics of forming a tournament are a nightmare, and the game is pathetically one-sided in large game modes.

I'm really pessimistic about the idea. The thought of subjecting oneself to Allied 4v4 against equally skilled opponents is not a pleasant one.

I'm skeptical...

I love this unit in 4v4. For the last few months I have almost always opted to go Captain with Stuart, but have started using the Lieutenant and AA-HT instead. This unit is suited for both agressive play, and defensive play.

It's best use in 4v4 is a mobile suppression platform. At max range you can effectively suppress and kite Volks with Shreks. My AA-HT's generally last into the late game, as I am very careful with them. In the late game it may be vulnerable to tanks, but it is still extremely effective at dealing with flanking units. It can shut down a whole blob on the flank.

If using offensively, carefully micro it so it remains at max range unless you are sure the area is clear. Use Rifleman to spot for it, and pressure MGs, Kubels, and other infantry. If an OKW player builds their medic truck far forward, you have the potential to chase them off before the retreat point is unlocked, and also suppress shreks from max range who may also be defending it.

If it survives to the late game, keep it slightly behind the lines and ready to deal with infantry threats. I prefer to get a Jackson first to cover my AT needs.

You are significantly overstating the ability to skip teching:

Assault Grenadiers alone is not enough to overcome the US or Soviet factions. Unless you are playing someone way below your skill level, in which case, almost anything would work.

The PGren halftrack has always been a fun, interesting, and potentially strong unit, but it is no replacement for T2. The Wehrmacht Half-Track is invaluable for reinforcing, and the Pak40 is one of the best AT weapons in the game against Medium armor. They are also expensive at 40 fuel, and unlikely to survive against AA-HT, Stuart, T34, AT guns, anything. PGren shreks are a Relic of older times (See what I did there?). They're less effective at range since last patch, and are still a very vulnerable AT platform. One AA half-track can sufficiently suppress and kite shrek squads and not feel threatened at all.

The Stug E is effective against infantry, but will not stop enemy armor. A T70 could kill a Stug E. I think the Stug E is the stand out unit of the doctrine, and is effective against infantry and light vehicles. If it came at an earlier CP level, it might be OP.

The Tiger is, of course, very good. There is no doubt that doctrines with late game heavy tank call ins reign supreme.
