Wirbelwinds aren't so effective vs Para spam. The RR shred right through them, especially supported my AT guns and vet

I have found that AA guns work against air targets from significant distances. I know it works from a sector away maybe farther.  Find the right range and don't deploy AA in front lines

That's the problem with AA guns. They can't shoot over shot blockers (hedges/buildings). So the best place is actually a intersection so it aims down the roads.

88s can shoot over shot blockers im pretty sure

[GodlikeDennis]

When they shoot air, yes. Otherwise no.

Can a Vampire HT lock down in friendly territory? If it can, will you still get the ability to see in the fog of war?

[Mattdamon07]

yes it still detects nearby inf

[Pac-Fish]

Hooray new counter to snipers

[Mattdamon07]

great for wiping blobs of inf with arty too

I will frequently deploy the funk only to get the Infantry Awareness. I normally use a T1/T3 start and a Vamp can be built right be fore the 1st AC for most Fuel economies. IE my ACs know where the ATGs going to come from. Same would apply for knowing where to send Mortatar HT of French Letteropener.

When do you guys recommend getting Verteran Sergeant for PE? I know it makes them vet faster but it just doesn't seem worth 240 mp and 40 fuel. I assume if you are running 4man MP44 zeal squads but I just wanted to know if any of u guys use it.

[Otto Halfhand]

AFAIC Veteran sergeants is the least cost effective of PE upgrades. The faster vet is offset by the PE shared vet system. reduced suppresion is of little value against Sovs but I would think about getting it when the Amis get the 2BAR global upgrade.

The faster vet is offset by the PE shared vet system.

Well the shared vet only contributes to the increased vet rather than offsetting it. SO let say 1 PG gets 10 vet (for w/e reason). First its effected by vet srg. so now it gets 12.5 vet. Then the PG next to it will get 6.25 instead of the 5 it would get if it didnt have vet srg.

[GodlikeDennis]

As Fish said, it's actually better considering PE shared vet.

Not really sure where to ask this but here it goes:

I was on GR.org just surfing around and apparently they dnt like some specific maps, namely Egeltons, Wrecked Train, Ruins of Rouen, and Beaux Lowlands. Is there any particular reason for this? THey say that Egeltons is imbalanced (altough IDK why), WT and Ruins are  loopsided, Stuzdorf had weird resource layout, and "Blowlands" is just generally terrible. There were other maps too I just dont remember. Can someone shine some light on this?

And btw does anyone ever get veteran sergeant?
