about this fabled 1.05 patch.....

[Seeme]

Who has the time and money to build pumas in late game anyway? I always use airbone and its a very hard choice and for you players who quit easily, that's why you think its so hard . I can tell by the forums that you never really tried them out and use it wrong. Airbone is SNEAKY. You don't look for pumas to drop you guys on it. Once they get there antitank weapon, and you have MORE THAN ONE. 1 or 2 pumas are dust. Maybe 53543634 Pumas could win.

Weakest in my own opinion.

If I offended you, apologies, but the bonuses of the armor company along with the Pershing, and the Howitzer and Rangers of the Infantry, I think they beat the Airbourne infantry.

Pumas arn't the problem.

The problem is that Pumas have a +1 VS Airbourne when they are landing. That is when the infantry is helpless because they can't fight back.

By late game, Ostwinds solve that problem, making the infantry MORE risky. Well, while landing anyway.

have you even thought about landing airborne in friendly territory and somewhere safe...

Also paratrooper's recoiless rifle is better than the rangers bazooka since the lower cooldown properties and better penetration.

Don't use Pumas.  Learn to use flames and mines/wire noobs.  MGs and volks still do damage; they're not godlike.

oh FFS... 3 Pumas kiting will tear an AB blob to hell and back they are rapid firing and have a very small hitbox AND it has the "Puma Phase Armor" that is loving used to counter a large blob because out of 8 RRS fired 1 will hit and maybe a 2nd.... and with 3 they out range and are able to win... against ranger spam use ostwinds and keep front armor facing them and two osts will beat 4 ranger squads microed properly...Ostwinds are not the counter to an AB blob because unless the player is a dumbass and drops right on the Ost you won't live long enough to get 10 shots off with your Ost....

IMO Airborne doctrine could be very effective (speaking about 1v1 500VP automatch type game) especially vs PE

Don't forget that AB paratroopers have one very good ability - to reinforce anywhere on field so usually don't need to retreat to base. Just pull back a little and reinforce to full strength and quickly return to battle. Same is applied to AB 57mm.

Didn't know you're still around.  Wanna schedule another few 1v1 rematches so you can get your a$$ torn out of you again?     I can play USA this time.  PM me if you're in.
