again... famous min 13. Wurf could have upgraded fuel a bit earlier as he had 1200 mp in min 12. He just got his first tank IV J and second could be build fast. Erich just got his tank depot and only available units at this tier are Jumbos and M10´s. The early Tank IV groups are really really hard and regardless how successfull the alli early game is axis just need to hold a fuel point and calling Tank IV as soon as possible to have a comeback. I see only early RE 17 pounder emplacment spam as reliable and successfull counter. The M10´s with their "lucky 76" are maybe successfull but i wouldnt count on them due to their random performence.
13:46.... three fails from Wurf. 1. drove toooo close to 37 mm pak with Tank IV. 2. he doesnt build second and third 3. double hmg42 but not a single volks or gren squad.... result: Tank IV wasted.
Min 16: Erich is still far away from possible tank IV spam except Jumbo. He decides to upgrade fuel income. Only avalable Tank at that moment next to jumbo could be a M10 as additional anti Tank IV weapon.
Nice just in time use of hellcat. Jumbo almost lost fight against Tank IV H. Funny to see that half of US AT squad dies in front of Tank IV H in one or two bursts before coming into effective range..... WE at sqauds hunting shermans several miles accross the map without losing HP by cal 50 fire. Bazookas bounced except one.
min 23: bike rapes and suppresses commandos.
min 33: Erich needs to make a decision. Either spending 35 fuel for HVSS and 240 fuel and at least 850 mp into supply yard to be able to field some more 8 or 60 fuel to have SP avaialble which then cost 2000 MP. He is facing already the first Tiger and Panther and there is no time to spend 850 mp and 240 fuel just for upgrades because the Tigers and Panthers need to be countered.... so he goes for SP. E8´s would be pointless already. I did the opposite in my game at battle of halbe and spend res into supply yard and sandbags instead into SP. Result was that i probably lost by being overruned by Tigers.
min 42: PantherCZ starts panther mass production. Its as easy actually as to build groups of E8. Luckily Erich decided to build SP. If he would have decided to go fo e8 he would still be upgrading the supply yard and fielding 3 e8 right now would cause fuel income collapse while Panther could play on time and fielding one Panther after the other with res trade. just LOL. So Tiger pls tell me how US armor can build more shermans as BK doc can build Panthers..... Its not possible. In a possible clash max 4 e8 would counter 3 or 4 Panthers.
min 44: Axis fail to use their WE at squads against SP.... instead they waste Tiger and two Panthers..... Erich has still no fuel for supply yard....Axis happily spam heavy cats as if there is no tomorrow.
The entire supply yard cost could be cut easily by 75%.
Min 50: Erich has just the neccessary units to provide a defense against Panther spam. Erich did upgrade one supply yard upgrade and he cant build a single stupid sherman.
Pure luck that axis have only Panthers and Tigers. Usually there is at least one doc with great anti tank weapons. Either 88´s, elephants, Jagdpanthers or Kingtigers. Since one BK doc player is able to outspam the enemie with Panthers the other could have luftwaffe, def, or TH doc. Really lucky moment for allied.
1 hour done: Erich is still based on call ins. Fuel not available and supply yard is still not up.....
Something is seriously broken. US mainly use call ins, supply yard just one stop upgraded and one fuel boost upgrade. Also losing almost no tank that cost fuel and which need to be replaced and he has no fuel for a silly sherman! And Axis have max fuel altought they spammend and wasted so many expensive Tanks! just WTFV13dweller wrote:Sherman's with HVAP never have problems with tigers.
I just have to get back to the replay and i dont need to seach for such a moment. I am just at:
1h 11 min 9 sec: Argument falsified already.
Ok, second supply yard upgrade is up. Fuel gone and SP has still happy killing our.... any possible spam still far away and alone SP killed already 8 expensive enemie tanks. Only 3 Tanks fielded and income is at 15 although fuel income upgrade is up already.
1h 21 min: Erich is just about to upgrade final supply yard step, fuel gone again. Meanwhile Wurf alone fields easily two further Tigers and has till 205 fuel in reserve. lmfao. Erich has 36....
1h 21 min 49 sec: Erich spend 65 fuel to boost fuel income by reducing fuel upkeep. Income increased by just 4 from 14 to 18! Very cost effective investment! 1h 24min 12 sec. Erich is now able to upgrade the second sandbag upgrade:D But fuel would be at 0 again.
SP down after 1 h and 26 min..... would like to hear ideas (esspecially from v13dweller) what to do if the SP would have died earlier.... i like hearing smart advices.
1h 27 min: Erich instantly request more 17 pounders. He as armor doc cant really encounter the cat spam anymore and fuel is just enough for a jackson or maybe two fragile hellcats.
1H 28 min: Wurf has a Tiger fielded and builds Panther and Tiger right at the same moment. Erich has Jumbo and just 130 fuel.
alright, fireflys and arty killing the Tigers now. I gonna sleep now.
And u lost the SP ^^ (Envious I am, I know.. 
) And I had a better record with the Tiger tank which didn't die and lasted till the end as u know
