Since you're both in the same clan and share similiar views on the topic. Why don't you provide us with some 2v2 quality replays where you counterplay B-4 strats, without using Stukadivebomb+Recon?
I almost always take Elephnat+Stuka or Spearhead so B-4 is not threat for me.
Wonderfull way of bypassing the second half of that part of the post, but besides that, you are also wrong: those maps were an example of where the B4 doesnt need to rotate, not maps where i fear the B4 (hilarious idea that i fear it btw, but ok).
Where did I skip something?
If my enemies are clumped in the middle on semosky it's their fault, and it's everything I can ask for.
Use flanks, the push middle and my B4 will have troubles if I should rotate or maybe stand still and wait.
You miss the point, i was inquiring how you think the 120 sec reload is on stuka, compared to 60 sec on B4 (which you consider long).
And you missed the kv-1 btw.
And you have missed my point. Stuka or werfer are support weapons, they don't need faster reload.
They can be used even if enemy has spreaded out troops. B-4 works only clumped units. Stuka can take down line of ZiSs and Maxims. B4 can take down only one pak or only one mg.
KV1? Really?
I think i already explained why certain single units are worth to be wiped out. Besides that, every squad has to stand still at some point, wether it is with healing up, or fighting.
As for knowing if something else shows up, there is that recon plane in the commander.
And i never claimed to shoot at every single sqaud, much less with precision strike.
Yes, some squads are worth to take a shot (like vetted Obers) but this is not common.
If you are healing squads, they are definitely outside of my sight and I won't shoot into fog unless I see retreating units and I know here is retreat point.
So probably you will see recon plane. Recon plane is obvious sign that B4 strike is comming, so if you have vetted squads, tanks, anything juicy you have to move it until plane is gone.
Also I can not afford for recon plane all the time. I have to use molotovs, oorah, schocks nades, mines, at nades, barrages so everything I have, I save for precision strike. This leads us to situation where often I can't afford to kill 1 squad.
I had a match against very decent opponents, where i lost 2 B4's (one of which with vet 1).
I simply build a third one and i daresay that B4 won us the game.
Losing unvetted or vet1 B4 is not big issue (besides 1200 MP or even 1800 if you built third one).
Losing vet 3 B-4 in last 5-15min of the game where there is no time to vet it again is gg.
Also if you have used 1800mp and still won well... there was something wrong if your opponent.
