That was hitlarious.


I don't know why but he reminds me of Jon Snow.

I certainly agree, however I'd like to point out that Rommel was in fact an absolutely superb tactician and actually probably underrated as such, and luck had as much to do with his successes as bad luck had to with his failures. This becomes even more evident when looking at his role in the Alpine Corps during WW1 than in any of his WW2 exploits. His failings as a commander were certainly more above the divisional level.

As I said, and it's obvious from my username I'm very fond of Rommel, but it's said that with all of his accomplishments and military genius, he was sometimes arrogant, not very open to objections.

These do not undermine his role and talent as a great military commander, not just a commander, but a leader as well. Everyone has weaknesses and flaws, but I think he drew a lot of attention after it was found out that he was involved in the Hitler's assassination plan and lost his life. On the other hand, I kinda think that Allied made a whole "OMG ROMMEL IS OP" myth around him despite knowing that he is gonna lose the Africa campaign (for a lot of reasons like shortage of supplies) so after the victory, they could increase their morale. It is attributed to Churchill: "Now this is not the end; it is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." After the war, he wrote: "Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein, we never had a defeat."

Rommel's humanitarian acts are also undeniable, most notably the rejection of the Commando Order.
Anyway, I'm not educated in military history enough to judge a commander by it's actions.

Despite all his merits as a soldier, Guderian was a self-serving, profoundly dishonest schmuck, and the world would have probably been a better place if von Kluge had shot him... Just saying.

Well, most military commanders are over-rated in terms of personality, including Guderian. Even on from the tactical aspect, commanders like Rommel were over-rated and many of their victories were based on "military instincts" which is simply a fancy term for "luck".

On another note, when I say I'm very fond of Rommel or Guderian, it doesn't mean that they are my "Role Models" in every aspect of life. They were simply good military commanders but let's not forget that all of these men caused millions of deaths (for a good cause or not).

I don't wanna derail the thread though, I like Guderian because he was able to see the future of warfare, and he insisted on a very important military asset: Communication.

...
It is already almost impossible to dodge, the only way to foresee the nade is to listen to when they yell "grenade!", but alot of the time I have 2 or more skirmishes going on and even then discerning which squad is aiming at which is nearly impossible.
Is this working as intended?

That's the whole point you know? For you to pay attention and for the enemy to exploit your distraction. And besides, if you are on 2 or more skirmishes, so is the enemy and you can exploit that too. If they can dodge but you can't (while both are engaging in different parts of the map) the problem is something else.

Soviets also spend the least on teching out of anybody so you can buy whatever the hell upgrades you want. Molotovs cost 15 munitions vs 30 munitions. They only wipe full health squads if you're a fucking moron who doesn't think twice about seeing a full 5-6 man squad stacked inside each other engaging a gren squad that you should be keeping an eye out whether you think your enemy might shoot a rifle nade. So if your common sense even goes a little bit further you'll know to watch for the animation. L2P ffs the only issue is riflenade range increase at vet. Wanna know how to tie your shoes as well?

True about Molotovs. And I don't know why people dislike Molotovs and don't use them more often. The cover denial is excellent and always forces you to change the position of your support weapon.

I'm willing to accept people disagreeing with me, but this simply can't be further from the truth. The Pack needs an excessive amount of time to destroy a building. It's slow rate of fire assures that and a lot of the shots will straight up miss. It's not much better at hitting the infantry around it either, because as I've said before the barrage sucks. A single pio could repair it faster then it can damage it.

Literally every other weapon that can damage OKW trucks will prove more efficient then the pack.

About the barrage, I agree with you. This can be said about LeIG too. I don't know why their barrage sucks so much in terms of accuracy. The only thing that makes me disagree with you to some extent is the stupid wipes which are totally RNG based and change the course of the game. I myself am not a blobber (not a very good player, but a proud non-blobber) and when I lose my vet 2 LMGgren to a random shot, I rage. But I too think that it's barrage should be more accurate so you can destroy static defenses.

The suppression thing was good though, for both LeIG and Pack Howi. I would like to see infantry reactions back on regular mortars.

well you certainly opened up a big can of worms there, this is going to escalate quickly.....

I don't know why people think that we are gonna get new units left and right. It's very very unlikely unless they introduce Custom commanders, test it, then introduce UGC, then test it and after all that, it's still "Pandora's Box". Adding something like WC truck on a commander is one thing, but adding a big ass rocket launcher or M26 Pershing is gonna FUCK...THINGS...UP. That's why Relic is not going to simply add units to present factions, because they take their time to create a balance patch, and adding game changing units is a nightmare in terms of balance.

Imagine having Pershing in the game. There are two possibilities since at the current state, it is VERY VERY unlikely to set things right just after release:
1. It's OP
2. It's UP

So we're stuck with either a killing machine which devours your army, or a waste of MP and Fuel for like, 6 months. That's why I'm not a fan of introducing new units (and even a new faction) unless Relic is able to speed things up.
