I had not realized this.

Never in my life would I have imagined I would have to drastically change my company makeup and playstyle to use lightning war better. You have changed my LIFE.

Next time I'll incorporate a heavy usage of anti infantry infantry while relying on shreks for early game tank defense then swapping over to a panther. I think with your help I'll finally get that 30% win rate.

I'd recommend a Pak Gun or two somewhere. Panzerschrecks aren't enough to hold back Shermans.

Try a platoon of 1 Grenadier + Panzershreck + LMG and a Pak Gun.
Or for a heavy AT variation,
1 Grenadier + Panzerschreck + Panzerschreck and a Pak Gun.

Demoner  I think you are completely misunderstanding what he's saying.

With lightning war the bonus to tanks is simply to get them to the front lines faster, it's not like HEAT rounds which makes your tanks put out more damage or like GS which makes them survive longer, it's simply there to get to the front lines faster. Although having a speedier Tiger will make it deal with shermans trying to circle it better, and I can't imagine how fast a panther would be with it (normal panther can outrun a vet 1 sherman if I'm not mistaken).

And I don't think he ever said anything about your build was bad, he was just pointing out the strong points of lightning war.

Now give me back my thread!

What, is everyone copying my lightning war now ?!

WHOA WHOA I was the only lightning war T4 in the past 3 wars and ever since eir came out...only in this war and the last recent one has someone else gone lightning war....Im pressing charges...

my lawyer will call demoner and salan on friday.


And yes the secret to lightningwar is you hit hard and fast...you obliterate your enemies start and then take the map with your sprinting insta spawn reserves while they wait for the spawn timer... (also it makes pumas god)
