All the other factions have something that they need to sink munis into in the mid-game, usually relating to basic infantry upgrades or abilities that result in a steady drain.
No, the other factions have the option to spend munitions of weapon upgrades. You can spam just as many mines with the other factions as you can with soviets.
If you are going against a mine/demo happy Soviet player, use double pioneers with sweepers. |
Not to mention they are both 4 men squads, which is makes the pathfinders quite a tad more vulnerable.
But as I have said before, it does not matter what unit you compare the JLI to, the JLI infantry is always better for cost. |
Ya, Brad already talked about that in Skype earlier. I didn't watch it yet, but it's a nice proof that it can be countered. People mostly like to complain first instead of trying to counter
A nice proof that it can be countered when you know it's coming on the loading screen. Taxman had to build T2, get 2 maxims and skip on conscripts all before he actually knew for certain what he was up against. Is this your idea of a counter, Milk? |
Perfectly balance unit, should be cheaper and stock althou needs some range, armor and penetration buffs, should also come with IR searchlight because it have trouble working as completely independent doomsday machine for armor.
More penetration?
Fun fact: the only unit that has a slight chance of bouncing a Jagdtiger shot is... the Jagdtiger!
The Elephant is the real unit that needs a penetration buff. That thing can bounce not only on Jagdtigers, but also on King Tigers! |

I don't consider getting a single sniper, a T70, some T34s and later on a ISU152 very abusive in a team game where counters are easily available. I could have told my teammate to maxim spam while I got 3 snipers and guards straight into ISU152s if I wanted to abuse the game.
But I suppose opinions differ on this matter. Hell, Tristen called me out for maxim/guard spamming on the second page when I played against him, eventhough I only had 2 maxims, 2 guards, 2 conscripts, a zis and was building a SU76.
So obviously we have a difference of opinion. You clearly think that 1 sniper is abusive, and I don't. |

You might want to edit the post then.
You and I have played 1 game together where I made 1 sniper total. You guys on the other had used fuel drops to pump out King Tigers. But whatever, it was a good game. But don't make shit up.
The first no-spam game I've seen in a long time, both armies playing combined arms (T70, whaaa) and later the big hitters, ISU vs KT, no Tiger, vetted Pivs flanking the ISU, KT buttoned and bombed, a little Luftwaffe cheesiness to help vs the ISU and some vet5 Pueppchens.
Sorry about the name calling, even though it was appropriate.

And this after you spammed the hell out of snipers-guards-ISU almost every game you've played? Tsk tsk...
Unless there is another guy named Aerohank out there, you can stop lying.
It's confusing. In the post below you make perfect sense and seem like a reasonable guy. And then in the post above you are a complete lying cunt. |

Well thats a lie. I JUST played you as OKW and you spammed maxims and guards... still lost too. And i didnt truck push or use a kubel.
2 conscripts with molotovs, 2 guards, 2 maxims, 1 AT gun. I had T4 up and was building a SU76. How is any of this spam? It can't get more combined arms than that unless I got a mortar instead of medics. I have no idea how you got to that conclusion, and I would appreciate it if you stopped claiming such things about me.
And BTW my game crashed, which was a shame because I was actually enjoying the game even though you were out-playing me.

So do you think kubels are still under performing?
No, you are under performing. In your job. I can't believe someone actually pays you for your work. |
Thread: Esports15 Sep 2014, 23:16 PM
So at what point does your maxim spam, shock spam, or M3 + Flamer abuse kick in?
Well first I never do any of those things.
Secondly, watch the fucking replay before being a smart ass. |
