Great job Cookiez! Im no noob to the game, but since you are at it at explaining stuff, i have trouble to understand acuracy of some infantry units on the the brits yet.

Can you talk more about how acuracy works overall and espeacially for the brits (eg.what is the ideal range to fight with an infantry section, vs say a grenadier)

Thx in advance.

its just percentages, if its 0.24 its 24% chance to hit. Value of one means it always hits,more than 1 means hax. That simple.


To answer your ideal range question...
get in cover when you first engage grenadiers. Since tommies with their vet 0 received accuracy+ their cover bonus makes them much better than grenadiers at every range...Just jump in cover. Without the cover bonus,they are a bit weaker. Thats the simpliest answer I can give.


Once you get LMGs and 5 man upgrade,You can just engage at any range and likely win easily,as long as its in cover.

xD

Hopefully that makes sense.

Now Let me explain received accuracy,

Grenadiers have 0.91 received accuracy at VET 0,so a -9% accuracy to all small arms, to start.

Tommies have 0.80 received accuracy,so -20% incoming accuracy to start.
We will observe a mid -range engagement

Grenadier K98 has
(Far/Mid/Near)
59%/66%/74% accuracy, a very high accuracy value.

Which means the Grenadier K98 by default vs a squad with 100% received accuracy(Lets say rear echelons) will have a 66 percent chance to hit and deal damage vs said Rear echelons at medium range(AS LONG AS THEY ARENT IN COVER! Cover has its own positive "Bonuses" on top of all these other bonuses,which is why its very slow to kill units in cover. (But thats why you use flamers/nades/explosions against cover,not small arms), Hopefully that makes sense.

Lets compare with a squad that has a received accuracy value below %100 though, like Tommies.

So Grenadiers with their K98 Engaging vet0 tommies at mid range have a 52% chance to hit. Because im calculamating(Multiplying) the accuracy bonus that the Tommies have by default(0.8),fron the 0.66 accuracy value that the Grenadier K98 has. The tommies are receiving 20% of the 66% accuracy that grenadier K98s have. Maths


On the Contrary,

Tommies Lee Enfield has 52/56/69 (Far/Mid/Near) accuracy,vs 0.91 received accuracy Grenadiers..

Which means, the Enfield at mid range has roughly 50% chance to hit grenadiers.

BUT tommies have the cover buff(Cooldown,Faster firing rate),which turns the enaggement in their favor!

Does that make sense? xD



*Edit Bad wording again,and Little decimals DO matter

pack howie with range bulletins.

Define right after WWII?
Is it late 1945 or later dates like 1950s?

USA + Western Europe has a small edge merely due to possession of the A-bomb. Only until 1952 when the Soviet Union got their own operational.

But do note that The Red Army outclassed US Armed Forces in 1945. France, Italy and Germany had virtually no cohesive armed forces anymore nor any competent industrial base to equip them as they laid in ruins; and the British are terrible at waging land wars in Europe.

I doubt the USA could financially and logistically afford to fund all of Western Europe on top of fighting the Red Army themselves. Also remember that the USA has to load the supplies & armament in the USA's East Coast, ship everything across the Atlantic and unload it at European ports, creating an extra logistical bottleneck whereas the Soviets can use rail or road infrastructure, making the logistical burden more manageable.

Then it goes downhill for us.
Starting from the mid 1950s, the Soviets had conventional superiority and nuclear weapons superiority over NATO until the very late 1980s/early 1990s.

Directly after the soviets captured Berlin,so April/may 1945.

Lets just asssume they slapped hitler in the face, and then got orders from stalin to "Kill every non Soviet you find! Take the rest of the continent comrades! They cannot kill you all!!"\
~~~~
But regarding Western technology vs Soviet technology,Its a big what-if.

How would Jacksons/Pershings/Centurions fare against T54s,IS3s,and SU100s? How would soviet YAKs and IL2s vs P51s and Typhoons... Its just so interesting to me all of the sudden

Thoughts?? Was it logistically possible?

• You did a good job for the most part controlling that middle VP building..
  
• Experiment with a double Rear Echelon INTO 3 rifles build on maps like this; Capping those distant points and securing buildings becomes a lot more fluid when you have a cheap squad to do these things with. INITIALLY. you went for 2 RE's but the second RE timing was off.
  
• Good play to force off MG and grens at start
  
• Late retreat squad wipes are no bueno
  
• Get earlier nades
  
• Get skirts on m20 always
  
• Lots of wipes around 10 minute mark...you gotta be more careful and aware
  
• You needed an ambulance way earlier,and you had the manpower/fuel for one.
  
• You're floating way too much at 15 mins... If your fuel income is low, and you have nothing else to buy,get a cache,tech...do something,but dont just sit on low income and manpower float.
  
• moar rear ecvehlons...why?
  
• Opponent brain farted a bit,he's also floating 1000 manpower and decided to go straight to T4 and you somehow manage to get armor out before him....Massive brain fart on his part.
  
• 
  
• do somethin with your mp....seriously. That was difference in this game
  
• Your opponent going straight to T4 was pretty awkward....And he basically made it harder on himself.
  
• Your opponent played pretty bad,and despite all your misplays you couldve won,but he somehow triple capped you and he won.....
  
  

Ugly game...But you can improve upon it. On to game 2

• Nice cutoff manuever to start
  
• Opponent rushed out the fastest LEIG ive ever seen in 1v1...(LEIGs are OP.)
  
• Quite literally no point in engaging a sturm officer blob,and an LEIG supported by a med truck,just go to the other parts of the map until you can get better units out.
  
• M20 was a bad choice initially vs what your opponent was doing.
  
• Get an AAHT for this type of blobberino spammerino if you insist on going LT
  
• Or get a Captain+ Pack howitzer..Oh god..e.specailyl this patch. Both Pack howie and LEIG are really good right now for campy play.
  
• the moment you realized your opponent was digging in,you shoudlve put down a cache. Especially vs OKW and their reduced income.
  
• nice JP4 Kill though
  
• same thing as last game, Again,get caches
  
• Dont just drop phospurus for no reason,always follow up.
  
• For playing only 10 games as USF,you seem to have a good grasp of things.
  
  

So overall as closing notes,when your opponent plays turtle mode,dont attack him directly with frail units...but make his 'breaking' out from from his "shell" difficult.

Like when your OKW enemy in the second replay had two leig,that basically means he cant push against your vetted flamer/bar riflemen at all(Well maybe he can this patch...leig are broken),or for a VERY long time..which means you can lolck down the map/ get caches down,cause attrition damage everytime he tries to push out/ and drain his VP's dramatically,making the entire game a rush for him to break out,which in turn,makes him play sloppy/risky.


Do these points make sense? Again,for having 10 games as USF 1v1,you seem to have quite the grasp already,so dont hold your head down too low. Just practice good habits and youll do fine.
