Profile of van Voort

I doubt that we will get more pure TOW like before; I don't think it sold too well

I would expect a Kursk equivalent of Ardennes Assault

Buy 3 or so Volks, keep them alive, put shreks on them

When they get vetted up they will be a terror to allied mediums and tank destroyers, they won't be too shabby unvetted either

Raketens are best used in buildings to protect and back up targets like your trucks - which you should NOT be aggressive with.

Forward enough to be useful, far back enough that they are not regularly under fire - yes even the flak truck. It's an important asset, treat it accordingly, not as a 200 MP/80 Fuel bunker


Ahem:

You will probably be outnumbered in armour, so don't over-extend. Almost every vehicle of yours is a high value target that your opponents will be prepared to take risks and sacrifice units to kill. Also, in a lot of cases their mobility sucks at getting you out of bad situation.

Don't leave yourself open, use the shrek volks to screen and prevent yourself being swarmed by medium armour

Remember things like B4s and P-47s exist, be aware of them and learn what to do to minimise the threat


If your partner is OKH you should not have a fuel problem and be able to field more armour (Always remember to salvage...)

He can also build PAK40s to provide longer range AT

Well I didn't manage to load any more screenshots before I had to reset steam so they are lost

Let's push on:

It appears that my next move will be to try to get Stavelot before it gets too strong

In the interim I shall walk around

Rangers ran over a mine -10 Strength

+++++++++++++++++

Now, I will try to go aggressively down the middle and setup, hopefully running my greyhound past to get the first truck

As long as I can get on the route the trucks will take to get out I can take my sweet time



I have Assault Enginers, M2, M8 and REL

RIFLE
LT

Pick up zooks straight away


Take out first Fusiliers with canister, pull back and let the HMG suppress the others


First truck leaves, heading from left fuel dump to right top

[img]

German Officer is also top right

[img]

Chase the first truck down, but need to pull back and repair

RIFLE

57mm

Luchs, fuck

Bazooka it to death and retreat infantry

Gib another PF squad with Cannister, 2nd truck gets away


AMBULANCE


Kill that infantry gun

Heal and reinforce, pick up those MG42s that are lying around

Send M8 to kill that Ober squad

MAJOR

MUNITIONS

Now 2/3 on Trucks

[IMG]

MUNITIONS

Consider recrewing the Inf Gun but will want all pop cap for Shermans

Send rifles to get 4th Truck, discover it has flak with it

Zook it, kill 4th truck 3/4

Gib another Fusilier squad

5th truck with Luchs, 57 takes it out but I cannot get the truck

3/5

Resolve to kill the officer and clear top right to get a good field of fire with the 57


Officer Killed

+10% Experience


SHERMAN

FUEL

Now any escorts can get killed by artillery

Truck + Luchs

Now 4/6

Send M8 to explore the top as I have never been there before, with Shermans here I can farm vet and take my time now

Truck + Luchs = Boom

5/7

Nothing left up top

Truck + Vet 2 Luchs = Boom

Germans are redeploying so I am apparently supposed to go take that point now

Don't think that has happened to me before

[IMG]

Run into Truck + Luchs which is awkward

6/8

Garden, Puma, do not want to lose this M8 with 66 kills

Got it

SHERMAN

FUEL

Infantry Gun on the fuel is annoying

Truck + Luchs 7/9

Lets get some Major Artillery on that Infantry Gun and see what is over there

Recon

IMG

Unescorted Truck 8/10

Recrew that Puma with Rels

Luchs + Trucl 9/11

Damnit, lost Sherman attacking the fuel

SHERMAN

Luchs + Truck 10/12

Luchs gets past as my vehicles are repairing

I go hunt it down with the Puma + Sherman

Truck 11/13

Hmm, they are counterattacking

Truck + Luchs 12/14

SHERMAN

Get major up for recon + Artillery to get the Infantry Gun

Truck + Luchs 13/15

Move up closer to get Major in permanent recon range

Truck + Luchs 14/16

Somewhat slowed down by all the wreckage

I could cap the depot, but I don't want to as I have Vet to farm

SHERMAN

Now I just sit here and kill Luchs, Trucks, Falls and Fusilisers til I hit Vet 3

Go to try to clear to south of fuel, but they react and kill my 57mm

VET1

Free Luchs

REL (for fighting positions)

Several minutes of killing stuff later

Luchs for some reason (probably wreckage) doesn't want to enter the map

Infantry and trucks still come, send a force to take the right

Nice and slow

Ah, Luchs are spawning again

Only potential problem on the right fuel is the Puma

VET2

IMG

For some reason straight to VET 3 very quickly.

Ok, lets' cap

Now I have to hold it for 2 minutes

This is an impressive amount of debris

IMG

VET + 276

Strength -15

RQ 30

Gold Medal

wait, is this a "favorite medium tank" poll or a "best medium tank" poll?

Neither, best medium tank to complement the rest of the faction


I admit to being somewhat surprised that the PIV is winning right now, because no one has posted why

OKW is the best faction in the game

An allied player versus an OKW player of equal skill will result in the OKW player winning 9 times out of 10

Id love to see someone disagree, You simply cant

I disagree
