Quote from jubjub bird: “Rrg buff, interesting choice... ” Agreed. It's the one change that makes life easier for expert players who use RRG in the late game. Most other changes try to help less skilled players by making what they build more effective. Light tanks. Heavy tanks. Rockets. Battleships got another buff and cruisers got another nerf. This doesn't change the basic equation. Battleships are still too slow and too vulnerable to both subs and bombers. Cruisers still see further, deal mor…

Nah. HT became a bit tougher, but it's still the same unit with the same strengths and weaknesses. Infantry became a bit better in the late game, but AA is still but useful to an HT. Other changes are irrelevant.

It also depends how aggressive you are with your starting infantry early on. Maybe you want to expand quickly with infantry stacks, and then coast for a while until HT. Or maybe you want to be very mellow for the first few days, building industry and upgrading infantry to 3.

Excellent points. HT is such a powerful close combat unit, that it's hard to find a pairing worth building. As your examples show, AA is the best pairing for the biggest threat to an all-HT build: enemy attack bombers. What makes infantry an interesting option, especially in urban terrain, is that we start with 15-25 infantry. Upgrading those is a great way to improve what's on hand, with resources not needed for HT. This is the main knock on Mech Inf: it competed with HT for metal and oil. In t…

Great work, jubjub. I appreciate the visualization. Like combine stats At risk of making this even more complicated, what about terrain? HT is best in plains, but different complementary units prefer different terrain. Do you want to maximize the A/D potential of the stack in plains? Or do you want to juice the stack for better performance in cities? Or do you want to cover all kinds of rough terrain, in which case commandos may enter the picture. But all in all, assuming your main worry is air …

Quote from K.Rokossovski: “Because it is very boring to fight inactives. ” This, and a high K:D ratio against AI doesn't impress anyone. It's a sign of minimal competence, sure, but to scare players you need a high PvP ratio.

Quote from Karl von Krass: “But taking into account normal games, wherein it doesn't matter what the coalition is, the game can be ended by retirement, you can get a solo by retirement ir two diff. Coalitions can opt to retire (3players max online).Shouldn't this be applied to fixed coalition games? ” The whole point of fixed coalition games is to beat the other side. If nobody can do that, then nobody deserves the gold rewards.

Quote from Carking the 6th: “Quote from z00mz00m: “Can you retire from a fixed coalition map? Say you have 1 German and 1 Japanese player left on a Patriot map. How can you retire, if nobody has enough points to win? ” I know you can retire in a 1944 Endgame map, and that was with me and my ally as the Soviets in first place and only players left (just us two) so if two people in the same team is not enough then I don’t think two players in other teams are. ” In the case you describe, only 1 sid…

Can you retire from a fixed coalition map? Say you have 1 German and 1 Japanese player left on a Patriot map. How can you retire, if nobody has enough points to win?

Funny, right? Internet trolls don't have girlfriends. That's why they troll, under assumed genders and identities.

Doing that now. It's satisfying.

It was the only cannon platform I could build without goods or rares.

Like only having 4 level 1 destroyers, trying to defend against 10 level 3 subs.

My country is Jones Privateers, and my battleship roaming Packers (built in Green Bay) saved me. It roamed Lake Michigan + Lake Huron, Killed a whole army, one unit at a time.

Funny how people throw in 1-2 AA and think "I'm good." It's really hard stopping large air formations with AA. You need 10 with every valuable stack and you need to keep leveling up. It's a major commitment of manpower. I've never been able to make this practical.

My country has a long stretch of rough terrain in the middle. I can't move troops easily where I need them. That complicates my defense. This is a country that's surrounded and under immediate assault. There is no advantage, anywhere

Whoever set up the Allies is a true sadist. Especially the Jones Privateers, in the Great Lakes region. Surrounded on all sides by Nazis, with a thin, forested choke point connecting two halves of the country. Easily cut off and exterminated on day 1. Survivable if you have good friends to the West who rush to your aid right away, but the typical game doesn't go like that. What happens more typically is a bunch of inactives and noobs who watch you go down in flames as they build forts and indust…

Right, we need more red and white checkerboard flag wavers on this forum. Not.

It's like the Proud Boys version of American history Funny and sad at the same time. Because they take control of school boards, then they start teaching history to kids.
