AA´s arent that much different. But the axis one with larger calibre and AA pos should be way more deadly.
Often its cruical where AA is placed. For example when i have two Ostwind i try to face them into the direction where an enemie air raid will most likely come from and also both should face in different direction.
When i remember my games i can say that it wasnt that rare for me to have 1-2 ostwind with each up to 15-20 airplanes shot down and thats just during some parts of the game (due to ostwinds i had to replace).
But that games seems to be worth to watch as RA and SE did not participate. Thats a very rare sighting.
However:
But after SP was destroyed they lost their will to fight.
What a surprise......
It was not just their "lost will". If you dont have RA and when axis get panther after panther in late stage covered by powerfull AA there is not much you can do against them besides hoping the axis guy will rush his Panther into ambushed TD´s. But with wall of grens and massive rocket arty support there is little hope to start/continue assaults.
btw, what was nami doing? HR game and just one building with US? Was it because of "fairness" not to start really playing from right the beginning?
as an adivce to axis team: At min 12 the BK guy paso had to spam thank IV H´s and J´s. He only got ostwind and rushed to fast for heavy tanks. At best BK doc provides early medium armor backed by Terror grens using flame nades. Later Terror gets Panther G´s + rocket arty and BK doc Ostwind+ stormtrooper and very important the stormtrooper leader squad and the HT as mobile retreat and healing point. Thats the way you combine well with axis.
Luftwaffe inf early on (at the time they come they are simply the strongest) combined with BK doc and its best mid game armor is also a very good combination.
Axis failed to upgrade the mid ammo for a too long time. Walking stuka from terror could have come much earlier with lots of nice targets. Luft inf and Tank IV H also came far too late or never seen action at all.
Why are you guys always running away from same AT gun? When you attacked with tank IV H an panther you could have steamroled them. Also When US pak isnt in camo it has nearly no chance to pen a Panther. Also as a tip: US 76 AT gun has an extrem long reload time. All axis tanks reload much faster and Panther takes just as long to reload its gun.
If you attack, attack. If you are unsure dont stay arround. The enemie will just increase its power in that area (which still isnt a problem with walking stuka).
@allis: For god sake, upgrade the supply yard. Also inf doc could have build howitzers to crack at least the most forward axis defense.
Armor doc: Jezz, keep some TD´s in ambush. The M10 is a cheap and usefull tool. That single HEAT round penetrates panther for sure when i remember correctly. M10 and shermans are my key units but also a Jacks A is a must have when you have no brit in your team. And the supply yard is so fucking important....
And the Allis TD´s also shoot much faster as the AT gun. US AT gun has 7 sec reload time. The TD M10 4,2 seconds and 3,75 from ambush. And with vet even faster.
@Nedkil: Dont attack a panther with 76 sherman and HVAP in 1vs1. With HVAP rounds the chance to pen a Panther is just23,95008%. So you will most likely lose that battle and 75 ammo is wasted.
And why he didnt pick up all the dropped fuel? Or why nami didnt tell him to grab it? And why did illa not build any M10 or M18 although having almost 2000 MP in reserve. Accident? purpose? Bad res managment?
