goign defensive and need some tips on what doctrine abilities/ troops to buy

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

i like the omniscience T4, but you MUST get MI, and at least some of the vet ones.

[Compact Flash]

I love 45% of volks and grens.

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

TBH, i dont, giving bikes and snipers 50% extra sight is really nice, and rocket arty is also a good T4.

One word: Officers

I have a guide I wrote somewhere on this harddrive. I'll dig it up later and post it on the guide forum, after a bit of updating of course

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

officers pwn.

[Falcon333]

can someone fresh me up on the officers? i forgot all about em... 

[salan]

I personally think officers are over priced ...

at 170ammo for a 1 use artillery barrage and a supervise state, I dunno.

I use the officer to supervise my stuka and I still can't tell if its actually doing anything.  Its really difficult to see if the + to accuracy would effect indirect fire, its not like the circle gets smaller or the rockets fall more in the middle.

hmm

anyone know how this actually works?

and defenisve, from having both the 45% cheaper troops and the artillery, I would say they are both excessively viable options.  If you suck at troop micro having 60-80 troops in your army might not help you anymore then having 30... (if you get them supressed and killed constantly what does it matter if you have tons more)  artillery barrage is insanely good, but is still only 3 uses and can completely miss what it shoots at just as much as a bombing run can.. but it can also decimate the target...

Grrrrrr.

the officer barrage is incredibly powerful.

it pwns any building, the damage the rounds do to buildings is insane.

AT guns, howies, nests, etc. under a barrage are pretty much toast.

and it has a fast reaction time.

mg42 + officer barrage will completely pwn any infantry blob.

but do you know anything about the indirect fire supervision, what does THAT actually effect, am I wasting the ammo supervising my stuka and nebels the way I am?

and the officer offers a great fun defensive manner of which to defend that which it is supervising.  get the mg(or anything) to suppress the enemy then fire bomb em..  but its still only one use for 170 ammo, then its just supervision duty.

it increases accuracy.. its better with MGs than artillery really :x

ok but what does accuracy mean to artillery... is that recieved accuracy? ie the rocket lands beside you, and hits ... now does it effect if that damage ACTUALLY hits, or does it effect the rocket before the splash dmg is applied.. which it doesn't seem to.


just a confusing topic, I think i'll ditch it down to 1 officer per company, 2 is to costly.

[TheDeadlyShoe]

it should decrease the spread but thats hard to tell and not always useful

[Thtb]

10% is not really much imo.

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

10% is less than a jeeps lengh in area reduction.

[salan]

well once they die i won't be rebuying them probably, 1 use of firestorm isn't worth 170 ammo imo.
