I love this game. Unfortunatly i suck at it. Anyone who has played against me would know that. If anyone can:

1: Give me hints (People ive played with)
2: Give  me Airborne help (Yes, i want to stay airborne)
3: Give me anything that will give me an edge.

At the moment i am lacking the skills to win many games. I do not want basic comments like 'DOnt hold the rear' or 'ask your teammates, use teamwork'! Because ive treid that... Its just not eneough.

Thanks...

PM me your bank account details and I'll help.

If you understand the basics of tactics and strategy, then all you need is experience in using them. Perhaps some experience in adapting to the meta-game, as well.

It could also be a case of you just needing to learn to micro your units better, and get the most utility out of them.

Perhaps post what your company looks like? Maybe the issue lies within an inefficient company build?

[Calstifer]

There goes my attempt at being serious. Quicky someone chuck me out the window before i kill myself...

Calsty, post replays (saves you time since someone's going to ask for it anyways)

[Unkn0wn]

Indeed, replays are the way to go for this.

Mysthalin said you need ht to help ur ab gtfo if ur dropping them behind enemy lines.

[chefarzt]

Just a few things.
Dont start with m10s as most axis players field enough at in the beginning to shred it in secs.
Get more sherms to help ur ab against inf and pumas/ac  (4-5)
Dont get ab rifles until u have some resource advantages as theyre extremly expensive.
Get more rrs (4)
Im also not sure if getting so many bars is smart as its a damn expensive upgrade on a weak unit. Better get another quad, another mg and put 50 cals on ur sherms.

Bars are an awesome weapon, quite worth it actually, just try to never let your rifles fight out of cover. And Quads are nice, i like hts better they don't suppress but are pure damage with a transport.

[chefarzt]

Fact is that 8 rifles with bars are 640 mun on a unit thats dies to everything which especially in an already mun eating ab company is too much.

[EliteGren]

That's why you can get them on airborne rifles, which don't die to everything.

Try and think in combinations.

You have RRs on the field so bring on quads/shermans/croc

You have rifles on the field so bring on AT guns.

Always support your infantry with anti tank. One of the most common newbie mistakes is to push with inf and leave their AT guns/tanks behind and then get raped by a vehicle. Infantry then charge down the now unsupported AT gun.

[#Freek]

I suggest teaming up a pair of RR's with a sherman... use the RR's to kill the tanks (or at least keep them away from your sherman) and the sherman to kill all axis infantry.  It might help to have a jeep and Bar squad/quad to help give your RR's line of sight and kill more infantry easily.


I find that as allies, your tanks (except m10/hellcat, but those need skills and typically support) can't stand toe to toe with axis tanks.  Thus you should use your shermans/light vehicles to kill axis infantry and use your elite infantry to kill axis tanks.


A few tips about RR's...

1.  Don't chase axis tanks with them, they'll get killed that way.
2.  Keep them near infantry killing support (eg the sherman), they suck at killing infantry.
3.  If you sticky a tank and kill it's engine... you can probably kill it in one go with your RR's since it can't get away... so get yourself a vet 2 rifle squad (easier said than done, but it is possible) and team it up with your sherman & 2 RR's team. 
4.  If one of your teammates is infantry doctrine, and has a  Triage, USE IT!!! Even if it only restores a sliver of health, that is extremely important health.
5.  Don't even try to do 'sneaky' behind the enemy lines drops... that simply means unsupported RR's which will get infantry rushed before you can do anything with them really.
6.  Fire up, don't use it to run INTO the attack, use it to run AWAY from overwhelming force, eg when the sherman gets killed, so you can live to fight another day.

7.  Also, smoke doesn't effect RR's for some reason, so drop smoke on your RR's and watch them kill tanks with relative impunity, unless flamers come along, then run.

It's because of the low scatter iirc. It actually 'misses' but because of the low scatter it still manages to hit.

Thanks for the help guys. Feeling a bit more confident.
