Bulletins are so wholly worthless, I don't think it even matters what you go. (Gren/Con bulletins super popular because they make people think its adding up) |
This explains some very strange moments for me. |
Guards in a scout car, flamers in a scout car, ZiS. |
As far as I know, there has been no change in matchmaking. You will still run into arranged teams. |
You are correct. Wins or Losses from games where you are playing with an arranged team do not count towards the regular ladder. The regular ladder is now only if you queue solo. |
Partisans can be incredibly effective. You should not expect them to be your main infantry, but rather use them to surprise unsupported units. I use them quite frequently in 3v3 and 4v4, and to great effect. There are a few things to keep in mind:
1. They do not hold their own against grens. Don't bother.
2. Spamming too many hurts you more than helps you.
3. Did I mention they don't hold up to grens? Or pios for that matter.
They are best used to pop up behind unsupported weapon teams. PPSH is best, followed by SVT (Penal rifles), and then LMG. They benefit from upgrading Molotovs and AT grenades. I prefer a 4 con start, molotovs, at nades, and then use partisans.
They are not effective on every map. You need maps with ample buildings, especially when there are buildings deep in enemy territory. Some examples of when to use partisans:
An enemy mortar is unsupported behind the lines.
A machine gun is pinning your troops.
An AT Gun is preventing your tank advance.
A nearly dead vehicle is pulling back to repair.
Destroying a Panzerwerfer (They are very effective at this)
Destroying Opel trucks.
A thought occurred to me earlier tonight that I did not confirm, but if a partisan squad has 1 model left, instead of reinforcing, merge conscripts into the squad to gain extra health (again, not confirmed if this really works).
Just don't expect them to do the work for you. Use them strategically. Do not spawn them into overwhelming odds. If you use them in 3v3 or 4v4, you should focus on supporting teammates by flanking MGs when they advance. |
Mortars and flamethrowers take forever to kill bunkers unfortunately. |
The best part was when he said this wasn't a troll. |
I'm sure we could put together a match some time. I'll add you. |
Epic showdown tonight! cohbros/ vs RtN. Shoutout to Ciez, Con, and Raz.
I enjoyed fighting you guys, and enjoyed even more learning it was a very rare loss for your crew. It may prove to be our only win vs you ever, but I'll take it!
Bravo. |
