worst in-game fails
« on: September 27, 2011, 03:27:59 AM »
so i was just wondering if anyone would like to post some of their worst moments during battles here. it doesn't have to be a replay, descriptions are fine.
I'll start (obviously) :P so it was probably during a game on semois when i was playing as the Wehrmacht terror doctrine. i decided to use a V1, but since it takes a long time to arrive, so i drove my custom ordered tiger ace straight into the line of fire. needless to say, it didnt survive. :(

My first time playing Brits on skirmish. I didn't know what the captain did so after building an AT gun and a Bofor I left him next to the emplacements.

The comp sends a Henshel attack run and my bofor magically gunned them all down :D. I thought this was great until one plane slammed into my FHQ truck and another slammed directly into my captain :'(. I didn't build captains after that for a while :-\

Worst in game fail was me and 3 other players. One and I were both panzer elite. Allies were both soviets. We got pushed back and got powned. Worst in game fail was that they tank rushed my base, but it took them 3 tank rushes to bring down my base. I had only tank busters, panthers, sometimes hetzers, and a jagdpanther. They lost an IS-3, at least 8 t34s, and at least 4 su-85s. I still lost, but fail that they lost 13+ tanks to bring down a total of about 5 tanks. They lost more tanks, but that was only cause my teammate made a henschel run.

I once was playing on Dulciar and my teammate was gong crazy with his 105 barages. At some point a panther was trying to kill my rangers and rifleman. It tried to rush it and was almost sucessful but my teammates 105 howitzer blew everyone up >:(

Also on Achelous River I had PE and my partner had Wher terror. I tried attacking his mg and he dropped a firestorm that hit my PE squad and tank :'(. Later A rifleman squad was decapping my point so I sent 2 PE squads to get rid of them. He drops another firestorm killing everone >:(. AND I was trying to destroy a OP near his base with my PE squad and guess what. He drops ANOTHER firestorm on it, killing my squad >:(  :'( >:(. That was the most FF I've ever experienced.

I called in a V1 on that EF map with the huge hill (Halbe?). I had all my forces holding the massive hill and had a spotter in the enemy base and targeted it there but because the hill is so massive it blocked the V1 on its approach and vaporised my entire army half the map away from where I targeted it  >:(.

Does tech problem count? In the 3th or 4th automatch I played Werh, he was Brits, he used bike first I used 2 inf section blah blah blah, I won that match since he quited after 30'. After that the CoH told me that I won a SKIRMISH. Really really dont know why ???
And also the glider glitch is still here in 2.602! On automatch Semois, my opponent played Brits and his glider stucked on the air in the rear of the map, even ostwind can do anything with it >:(

Katyusha fail. I tried to destroy 3 stugs ( heavily damaged), so I wen for Katyusha salvo. 3 of them opened fire and... well, half of the rockets missed completely, half of the 2nd half hit the church and collapsed it ( with my vet3 Strelky inside), the rest of rockets killed a lot of allied conscripts... and only one german who get killed was german sniper, who had chosen wong building to camp...

Drove a Vamp truck, a scout car, a mortar half track, and a Marder into 3 groups of Rangers with 2 AT weapons each.

It was a massacre, I didn't see them, and I payed the price for not scouting.

I tried to hunt down a MHT on Semois. He had no AT and I had a Bren Carrier with MMG. Some how it got stuck (WTF?) b/w the buildings near the SW side of the town. His PG utterly destroyed it. And to and insult to injury his MHT was attacking my bren while all of this happened :'(

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

well idk if you'l count a fail from when i played another mod but i'll tell it anyways.
i was in blitzkrieg just trying it out, and build a cromwell command tank and send it to counter the enemy pumas, of course i assumed it was a cromwell and was like "wtf why isn't this thing firing it's gunn, is the turret stuck? this is a terrible mod"...then "oh...oh um er um".
It's like thinking you're picking up a sword to fight another swordsman when in fact you've just picked up some seaweed.

Worst in game fail was when we sent in 3 king tigers expecting to surprise the enemy. Americans use landminds and at guns. it was super effective
