Profile of VonIvan

I love the game, so I'll prob be sticking around unless they drastically change anything.

My political views are simple: I like waffles.

We all know u don't want your beloved winning unit to get touched, but look at what u wrote.

Fast p4 tech, will only be on the field a few minutes after the t70 unless germans have had map control, teller mines- sometimes hard to put down where u want them and also require the t70 to go in the right spot. ( You don't see PG's and think hmm i need a mine right there to counter them.) Shreks in a halftrack is quite expensive and requires a commander, it will only help against 1 t70 not multiple. Dbl paks... Thats a big investmentand there will not be much to support. 2 shreks squads??? serious?

MG with Ap rounds is avoidable.

Higher skill level.... righto, giving yourself some credit?

My "beloved" T-70 has been touched, scratched, burned, ripped, shredded, and squeezed, and is currently in the process of being UP'd with the anticipation of the new scatter patch. Weather I like it or not it will be "touched", I am simply giving constructive feedback on why it shouldn't be tampered with to the point of it being utterly useless, like a Penal Battalion, making the game even more dull than it already is.

-In the case of multiple T-70s after holding off one with shrecks in a hf, you can easily go for a Stug as it costs the same as getting to the point of purchasing a 2nd or 3rd T-70(when using Soviet Industry). (Or go for the cheaper stug(get more than one) available in one of the assgren doctrines). Tellers can be placed in great spots, for example on semoisky you can place them on the two paths leading out of the enemy base(for the summer version), as well as place them in front of paks, next to paks, or near where you'd like to position your troops as the T-70 will most likely engage you in this area and you have a higher probability of it hitting your teller mine.

Here's a great example replay proving most of what is stated above:

-See anyone else on the top 10 leaderboards using my strat/winning SNF except for Andy, ofc he is in the same clan as myself, so it's fair game as he's a very good player(which uses more than one strat for each faction, as do I). I am also the #2 ranked Soviet player, so obviously I know what I'm talking about, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am.

Good stuff!

Says the guy who relies on spamming T70's. Just sayin...

I don't always rely on spamming T-70s, they're just useful in helping combat expected situations. I'm happy to recommend how to successfully counter them, but it seems many people as I've stated before are completely locked into their old strategies before patch when things were more German favored.
