what a brilliant game this was, Although it was to close to call anyone a winner, my enemy had almost 60 kills on a mortar, while i desperately tried to push him off the centre Vp, both of us skirmished the flanks.
watch for a sniper trying to steal a VP in camo that's being fully defended also that 60 odd kill mortar and a tiger ace picking off T34-85's. |
best counter? imo just play soviets if you dont feel like playing against an incredibly gimmicky play styles. give in, cross over to the dark side.
but yeah there are a few good tips in here on how to deal with the snipers. you might not outright kill them but if you lure them out into red cover and hit 1 of the 2 guys with whatever you can (in red cover even a pio is enough) it's still 90mp per soldier to reinforce and takes a shitload of time. if he stays on the field with 1 guy he will fire extremely slowly so you can still come out on top in the MP war.
Yeah that's a good plan, then you can wonder how to deal with ostruppen start followed by pgren spam with halftrack reinforcements on your cut off, good luck using your sniper, that things out within a couple minutes and you have almost zero map control. |

Well, it's not possible. With 5 conscripts out, you are going to get flanked and have MP drain. Usually they are not taking nearly as much, and it's impossible to wipe Soviet squads. Nothing beats Vet 3 PPSH, so you are screwed.
I actually prefer cons without ppsh, they are only effective close range but will still lose against PGrens, better to have them fight at range from cover. |

oh do behave yourselves, Sniper counters are already in place for Axis, just get a couple scout cars or upgrade to gwer, hell you can also counter snipe, don't be afraid of his two man squad use your extended range, if he retreats then snipe away until he gets back after spending 95 mp.
he wont be so confident when he returns. |
Good job...but I must say B4 is a problematic unit. If the Germans don't have a doctrine with a Stuka bomb and recon, GG. Especially on Semois. Other maps you might be able to send something in to kill it, but not this map.
So, let this be a lesson to you 2v2 teams. Make sure to have a Stuka in your arsenal...
You also rammed a tank carcass around the 50 minute mark. I felt that was some sort of...violation. Do you have any necrophiliac tendencies?
I do so love your witty ramblings. |
Shock troop or sniper will win
I tried shocks but you cant close distance, they were better, but it gets pretty relentless.
By the time they arrived I was already pretty behind on map control, I did try Tier 1 but it got seriously overwhelmed, maybe your right and the guy was just a better player.
I know this replay doesn't go to shocks but I played him twice. |
Bloody close game, heavy tank AT gun combos duking it out till there was virtually nothing left.
I was scrabbling about in the snow trying to find an AT gun to man for a last ditch effort to win a game that my opponent had clawed back from the brink, Axis late game power starting to take its toll on my little ruskies. |
I don't agree. Soviet artillery options are superior to the german options and it's perfectly doable to start out aggressive and transition into a more defensive playstyle. See my first comment in this thread.
Yes your absolutely right what I suggested isn't always possible, but your arty will be spotted and have a bomb run dropped on it.
Soviet artillery is also not as accurate, so yeah I suppose SU-85's and kats. |
don't bother with a new card at all at the moment, unless you want to spend out on a Titan, for fps games I would sli your 580 if you cant wait forever to get something that significantly improves over it. |
Without seeing the replay (i will watch later).
One reason might be that he has 3600! games in 1v1 and is in the top30 ?
yeah that might have something to do with it.
Still that may be a good reason for needing some pointers.
ranked gave me this guy twice in a row, I actually did better the first time, I think I may have already been mentally beaten this game.
maybe I should have tried tier 1, but I'm not sure.
I watched the replay again and I will note my use of cover sucked. |
