For the beginner its even better if you don't play your first 10 games in tryhard mode. Test different strategies and have fun, if you get placed low in the ladder you will have easier opponents at the beginning so its ok. It works best in 1v1 but if your rank is far from your skill level it will change very soon so it doesn't matter where you land at the beginning. And tbh the matchmaker works fine, just only over rank 1000 mark. If you get higher you will be sometimes matched with much better opponents but it will be ok since you will know enough to learn from it then. |
I understand what you mean, but it is also slightly hilarious because the alpha was meant to test the new faction as well.
If he played other factions he also played along with or against new faction so he also tested it. Whats more everybody in alpha wanted to play the new faction so there was no one to play against, so its good that there were guys with his approach. |
I would be happy if every LMG was removed from the game. LMG spam meta is one of the reasons blobbing is so common and extending that to the USSR would just spread the cancer.
SvT's, PPsH43's, ect. There are tons of upgrades you could give to Conscripts and other Soviet squads without spreading LMG cancer meta.
come on, you have never seen a flamer blob, a zook/shreck blob, g43 blob or even con blob? These are effective and they contain 0% of lmgs. Even if you left all the soldiers in game with only smgs blobs will still clash, just on a closer range. Actually the long ranged weapons are what makes positioning usefull in opposition to the blob. |

Actually I would love to have single shreck pzgren squad as ostheer That kind of squad wrecks both infantry and tanks so they would be like better guards. In early versions of the game you could upgrade to only one shreck but relic removed this possibility couse that made pzgrens OP. The point was that with 2 shrecks they completely loose the ability to fight infantry. |
Company of unbalanced maps in permanent veto.
Nobody would mind any community maps ever if they come vetted by default and then players who want to play them can remove veto without gaining additional veto vote. Hell they can play that infinity resource one-bridge map i used to get certain bulletins spamming their lovely arty in automatch as much as they want and nobody would say a word ever.
But as long as community maps require additional veto votes no, no and no. There is plenty of bad maps already, and i hate to play bad maps only because i already spent veto votes on worst.
Your idea sounds great. That way relic would be able to actually test new maps online without getting shitton of hate on them. After some testing some of the maps could be brought to the "true" automatch pool. It would sure improve average quality of maps. |
Why isn't that troll permanently banned?
Why would you ban anybody for trolling? It's harmless unless you want to harm yourself by feeding. |
There are also some commander abilities that can help you with knocking katy down:
Spec ops commander have outmap flare that can help you avoid ambush.
Flares, great sight range, fast movement and rifle at nades are also available for fusiliers.
And last but not the least falshirmjeagers can deploy either from bulding or paradrop on enemy point behind the katy, they kill it quickly even with small arms.
The advantage of infantry based solutions is basically that usually hitting retreat button is enough to preserve squad after infiltration. With vehicles you need clear retreat path as I said before and you somewhat gamble on hitting the mine. |
Here is what I think about OKW 1v1s: Dont play it atm.
Soviets wreck you; your best chance is blobbing up your 3-4 volkshreck blob behind a sweeper BUT first; medic truck and Jagdpanzer 4 + elite infantry (falls, jaegers, fusis). Try to hold out against call-ins and slowly creep forward. Dont bother with T4 'cuz you'll just set yourself behind teching even more. The thing is you have to wait for your opponent to make a mistake.
Against USF it's much easier as you can get a kübel + 3 volks and harass his capping; the deal is the same thought: dug in with T2 + T4 and blob and defend.
Btw;. any1 got any idea how to counter Katy?
Against katy I would try to infiltrate with luchs or jpzer on camo. Those vehicles kill it in a second, you just need to make sure you have clear retreat path. |
I thought that too but he had no caches. I had 1. I was Ostheer aswell.
Watch the replay if you have it, you can see incomes of all players in every second of the match that way. You can also upload it here. |
The first graph says that he was just floating resources (probably muni as allies tend to do this) the whole game not that he was earning them faster. Looking at the angle between graph and x axis you can see that his income was usually worse and sometimes the same as yours. It may mean that he had more caches or that you played okw. |
