I believe that the anti-DLC commander whiners, some of which spend hours complaining, are mostly teenagers that want to preserve their weekly allowance dollars.
I like new commanders. I am willing to pay for said new commanders. I hope they add more commanders, which I will then buy. That money goes to pay Relic employees, who in turn make more commander or even better, more factions. It's a win-win for everybody except those who feel entitled to have everything for free.
I'm interested mainly in Rifle, Recon and Scavenger. The rest I don't need.
I have mechanized already, I consider it very good and better than the base commanders. It is however, not as good as Rifle which is the strongest one.
Scavenger is about as good as the base commanders.
Starting on Tuesday, July 22nd you will start to see Western Front Armies Commanders in the Free Commander Rotation. We will continue to also feature other commanders, ensuring that players who don’t yet own the Western Front Armies still get to try premium content.
In addition to placing the Western Front Armies Commanders in the Free Rotation, we will be adding them to the Steam store for purchase on July 23rd
With 250 VP games, I choose either a single Sherman or Jackson and keep a ready reserve. It's usually that one Sherman I get, which is not enough to smash an Axis strongpoint around the VPs. 2 Shermans with available infantry is often not enough, either, and is usually a gamble.
With 500 VP games, I go Sherman first and eventually shift to Jacksons.
In both scenarios, I've found it difficult to get 'critical mass' for close contact (offensive). Critical mass for Sherman spam is basically 3 of them. This rarely happens unless I am winning and the game is basically over.
Critical AT mass for jacksons is 2 Jacksons.
In long games, it's not hard to get 2 Jacksons and bind them, and form a strong defense around the VPs. But if I have 2 jacksons, I don't have much fuel left for shermans, so I lost my AI ability. So this the 'either/ or dilemma' that pops up.
People are wanting the Rifle company partially because it provides a pseudo solution to the dilemma- the E8.
No, not that late. I don't play long games often. much earlier than that, and shortly after T4 is unlocked. There's the choice between sherman or jacksons. It's kind of either-or sort of deal. 1 jackson and 1 sherman isn't effective. I find the choice limiting as one is strong AI, below average AT and the other is strong AT, zero AI. The M8 I get even later on and I often don't get a chance to at that... not enough fuel.
if by,"Late Game" we're talking 35-40+ minutes,then
The US SHOULD have at leasta sherman or 2 from around the 17-30 min mark, Jacksons some time after that,and then add the M8s as icing on the cake,along with at least 3-5 squads of vetted rifles or paras,with upgrades.
