I appreciate this, VanVoort. Nice job.
I enjoy your sly humor, as well. |
Hour long game on Lienne Forest featuring hoards of heavy tanks and a well-used Sturmtiger. |
Monsieur Alexzandvar, your statement about Napalm trusting the in-group that he is in is correct when analyzing it from a social psychology perspective. However, the tone you used - or, rather, the tone that came across - was rude, with a bit of malice and pompousness. However, in your reply to my close friend and fellow Bear, Glendizzle, your choice to end your statement with a rhetorical question directed to His Holiness, Keeper of the Honey, Pack Leader of all the Provinces of the Great Northern Nation, Stomper of Noobs, Father Christmas Bear, Defender of the Faith, Napalm is perhaps just shy of the pinnacle of internet fuckery.
As I sit here, at 12:58 am on a Tuesday night, I reflect on all of the forum posts of yours that I have read and I see so much of this passive-aggressive behavior in nearly every post. I find it distasteful and contributes negatively to the typically benign, friendly exchanges that occur every day.
As the sole representative of Bears in the sovereign state of Wisconsin, and as one of the three representatives from the glorious province of Onterrible, I hereby denounce you.
Good day, sir
-Pirate.
Also, Napalm, I am so incredibly happy for you. Salmon for everyone. (And you get a salmon, and you get a salmon, and you, and you. EVERYONE gets a salmon!) |
If you click on it, it's actually pretty funny. |
WHAT IS HAPPENING OH GOD HELP. Avatars keep changing to funny illustrations. Did coh2.org get hacked? |
Axis fan boys tears are delicious
Red Bear, I love you.
The Ostheer love makes me happy. Jackson buff makes me happy. Blitz nerf to rush Jackson makes me happy.
Hallelujah |
The new meta game is baserush?
2x KT destroyed in base
Jagdtiger destroyed
Allied armor killed by Pak43s? A hell of a lot of it. |
As VanVoort said about the Riegel mines, they are guaranteed to immobilize, just like the M20 mine.
That being said, mines don't always change games; they can end them too.
The M7 AT mine for USF is decent; I believe they are best used when placed five at a time (as the chance of dealing a crit increases with each mine, up to five). They do damage to light vehicles, maybe medium tanks. I have seen KTs roll over them like nothing.
If you're going armor company (Assault Engineers can lay M7s), you could pair a couple of mines with a demo, or get a soviet teammate to plant a demo. I would assume the demo would go off from the mine detonation.
I really think that the USF need some sort of Anti Infantry mine that is non-doctrinal. Huuuuge design flaw.
TM-35 and Schu mine are best mines in the game because they are both cheap and effective against infantry and vehicles. |
This was pretty epic, I'd have to admit. I should've kept my rifles together more, however. But double M1919s are great at suppressing. Even Obers will hug the ground. |
I appreciate all of the replies and helpful suggestions. I'd say, the biggest thing for me is judging whether or not I will win an engagement.
As Australian Magic pointed out in the actual replay thread, he said we didn't communicate. We were on Teamspeak together but didn't talk as much as I'd like. I think it was late (around midnight) and we/I was just tired. If I would've gotten a Sherman instead of a Jackson, or if Newbie would've gotten a Katyusha and I a Jackson, things may have turned out different.
Honestly, I was expecting panthers from the Ostheer player, not stalling for a Tiger Ace... that seemed awfully silly (yet it worked).
We just didn't work together or coordinate well enough after early game, I think. |
