Strategy and Tactics for Commonwealth / Re: Lieutenant Query

« on: November 03, 2011, 09:08:23 AM »

Nerf Stens a little bit and give Lieutenant an damage aura at level 3 that only effects Commandoes?

Commanos arent about blobbing and arent about frontal attacking a larger force.
Making them suck more without an LT (that cant use smoke and cant just run into a blob of enemy forces becouse he will die) wont help them.

Commandos have a great ability that blows up whole enemy squads in the late game. IEDs. They can plant Radio devices that make German cloaking (bundle nades, ambushed paks, annoing snipers) useless.
...but they shouldnt form blobs and that isnt a design flaw!

Its intencional and wasnt changed in EF.
Commandos would be too strong with those bonuses. Also Commandos were sabotage units and they were meant to work behind enemy lines independently.

Strategy and Tactics / Re: any tips on how to take down turtling brits?

« on: October 13, 2011, 08:11:44 PM »

just wondering. i usually arty them to deaths door and them welcome them in with a tank rush. any tips?

Tank rush?
Brits can tech up to tanks quicker than any fraction ingame and emplacements and trenches are counters to a vechicle rush.
Get yourself some MP44 and kill all of their infantry or capture a trench (any granades will do) and that noob Brit is fckd.
Just dont run straight into an MG emplacement (flank) dont drive your tanks straight into PIATs+BRENs or 17lbs emplacements and if your attacking a bofors with infantry, get in close.

Eastern Front / Re: The penal battalion

« on: October 13, 2011, 07:13:32 AM »

the penal battalion accounted for only 1.4% of the total number of Red Army. Don't you think that the 1.4% is not enough to win the war alone the penal battalion?
...
the penal battalion were ONLY (!!!) to officers, has committed any of the offences. Ranks from lieutenant to colonel.
Criminals, privates and sergeants sent in separate penal COMPANIES. The difference is significant.
...

You mean that 1,4% of the Red Army were officers that commited offenses? A lieutenant commands 26-55 men (by modern NATO standards) so 2-3% of the men in an army are LTs. Soviet army woudnt have any officers if this was true.

Maybe some of the info you have there is about "the penal battalion" for officers, some is about all penal units in the Red Army.
Anyway nice piece of info.

but would be quiet useful I always hate it to move my infantry manually with the tanks.

Than select a groop of units.  Problem solved.

Supporting and running behind arent the same thing. This topic should be called Men Following Tanks.

Strategy and Tactics for Soviets / Re: sniper ace

imagine you get infiltrating Vet3. US sniper with few useful abilities. It's worth 750mp.

Well said.
Its like asking if a wehrmacht sniper is worth building - it costs more than 12 US reinforcement rifleman! Its worth it if your micro is good enough and you manage to keep your sniper alive.

As youve said Soviets have a mortar.
Germans have the 81mm tube and a Nebel becouse players usually choose between T2 and T3. Soviet mortar is cheap to get and you can choose to upgrade it. They allready have enough mobile infantry artillery.

I wanted to set up a commando IED near a locked down Marder and it squished all of them in less than 1sec.

Do you guys have decided ti bring the commissars back ? I think he is really best fit in the propaganda doctrine.

8 rifles when going Urban and a commissar when going propaganda and inspired speech when your breakthru. I like it. A custom unit like the ketten.

^{Don't flame me this time please, this post is for real and the unit\ability concept is worked out and is most likely possible to add. It's unique, accurate to history, would look amasing with some work and be fun!}

No, Its not unique. Use the search function.
