It is coming. The goal is to prevent bug release. I know we are all inpatient to see it applied, but we have to wait just a little longer. Indeed it may fall outside "winter" technically, but the tests were all run in the winter.

We are not dealing with a studio devoting 100% of its resources to the game, we are working on an older game with the studio well underway for its next major release.

My problem is that although there are punishments for an MG being suppressed and firing again, it doesn't designate a clear winner. Frequently MG's will walk into a field of fire set up and be suppressed and then suppress the other MG. This should happen 0% of the time.

I agree that garrison teleportation is not the right solution, but the employment of really slow exits, as we had in the past, is inappropriate as well.

The idea of a delay to exit is good, but it should not be applied to weapon teams which already suffer from a delay on entry and a required setup/tear down.

It is dumb that units hop in and out of buildings. Right now a necessary part of the meta at high play, but not good to watch and not really fun from a mechanics approach.

Alright I gave it a watch and here is what I saw:

You blobbed early with a couple of units (a miniblob if you will). This is not a problem as far as wipes go, since you were only facing grens, but it meant your capping power was limited. Spread out after winning and cap points. Taking territory early will help set the pace.

You stared at your base for long periods, and told your men to cap the point at the point. Use your micro to have units set up in cover or build cover early so that they don't need to return to base early.

You kept the mortar out of combat for too long, and then let it go too close a couple of times. Be more aware of its place, use attack move to keep it following your front line.

When you forced off your opponent it may be a good time to retreat. He is going back to base so he won't cap, and you can heal up and meet him again with full health rifles.

You pick airbrone, which I completely disagreed with since you have Priests, but then you didn't really use the doc. In fact you ignored it so much that when you saw a Gren blob you did not call in an MG, and when you wanted more rifles (you already had 3 but you wanted more?) you actually built rifles, even though you could have called in airborne, you were floating MP, and immediately upgraded them to 1919's, you were floating munitions.

You were caught badly off guard by the 222, even though you had a captain. Get the zook right away against Wehr, since you want some light AT to keep the 222 at bay. You don't need to kill it, but force it back so it can't eat up your rifles.

The stuart was badly overexstended and died. You were shooting at infantry so there is no reason to flank them. Kite them at distance and pick them apart. Also, this won't matter as much in the coming patch, but when you see light vehicles stun them! You could have easily killed the luchs on the first meeting and you would not have had to follow the 222, which against a good player would have been immediately punished.

To answer your question about fuel, they held a huge majority of the map for most of the game. It also didn't help that you lost a stuart (70 fuel), teched nades (20 fuel), and had to go Mjr (120 fuel), before you could get another tank. You also built a sherman even though you were clearly losing the tank battle, you needed a Jackson for sure.

Don't call in the airstrike unless you can kill a tank. You are likely to only get 1 volley with it anyway.

Be careful, you really should not be losing squads so frequently. It will happen but losing them as often as you did burned through your MP, prevented you from capping, and constantly had you fighting with low vet squads vs. veterancy.

Issues here are things you just need to improve with careful play. Nothing you did was devastatingly wrong. You didn't give up the game in one big mistake, it was death by a thousand cuts instead. Try to control the game pace more, your opponent set the tone the entire time, and use speed to your advantage. On maps like Minsk, get some arty, either Calliope or Priest. If you don't have it yet, save up and get Calliope anyway, it is easily the best US commander right now. Get rid of airborne.

Don't be afraid to tech to Cpt then Lt, and maybe never Mjr. The Mjr is there if you need him, you don't have to get a Sherman in every game. The US is flexible enough to have commanders fill in for the Mjr.

Hi Utbildningsministern,

I can take a look at this and give you some tips on how to trade better. What is your name in game?
