Interesting food for thought: Do minesweepers retain their mine detecting abilities whilst in a half-track?

If so, there's an extremely mobile and durable mine detector for a relatively piss cheap cost.

[LeoPhone]

no, or at least rgds say they don't

[Hicks58]

Field tests are required tbh.

[CrazyWR]

they shouldn't tbh...i remember when recon squads detected mines while in a bren carrier, so bren never would hit the mines, it was bullshit.  Halftrack would end up ignoring mines if that worked.

And yet 99.9% of the community wouldn't use them and would still bitch tellers are op

Another cool thing most people don't realize is that a Sherman with crabflail can detect mines even when the flail isn't active.

I'm happy to say in the last game I was in vs Crazy & Assholio they both used plenty of minesweepers and crabflails and wasted a lot of my munitions. 

I was so proud that I almost shed a tear.

Maybe i will remove one Sherman Crocodile and put a normal Sherman in my coy (Mineflail incluced) for extra AI support.

Another cool thing most people don't Have time for is that a Sherman with crabflail can detect mines even when the flail isn't active.

I'm happy to say in the last 900 hours of game I was in vs Crazy & Assholio they both used plenty of minesweepers and crabflails and wasted a lot of my munitions. 

I was so proud that I almost Hugged myself.

-Whined

Fixed.

+1 to aeroblade

also Tellerspam is a noob gimmick

[BigDick]

any kind of spam is a "noob" (where noob is not noob but people who fail to enjoy a game) gimmick - at least as long as your not forced to do (*hint* weapons cache *hint*)

[Unkn0wn]

What's a weapons cache?

[Mysthalin]

Wind's teller spam is probably his easiest company to beat ever.

And everyone knows I'm a reckless vehicle whore.

[Smokaz]

Its still pretty fagg

Mysth is 100% right here. It's a company with very little functional AI, almost no indirect, and has an extremely simple counter.

It is not hard to shut down completely, but it does force people to play a little more strategically (screening tanks, not doing suicide rogue behind-enemy-line vehicle parties etc) which ultimately is a good thing.

Every TH company is lacking basics of Anti infantry and everyone knows Tank Hunter companies are weak versus infantry but strong versus armor depending on anti armor build :p

HOW CAN I FORGET STUMMELS arghh

Anyhow if you build TH company to be AI based you are doing something wrong.

Everyone knows the standard.

SE= Anti infantry weak vs Armor
TH = Anti Armor weak vs Infantry
Luftwaffels = Decent at both

Its not like TH gives a lot of infantry buffs and SE a lot of anti tank buffs. Therefore THs focus on Marders because of their hard punch and their lockdown, additionally they might go for hetzers which do decent at AI and anti armor, but then most will go for Jagdpanther leaving some fuel for AT as a back up and everything else is for something and believe me it ain't much you can get with that. Swims often in munition left overs. If you ain't hetzer user you got plenty to spare for infantry, G43s, at nades, tellers and so, schrecks etc.

SE's standards often go for either munition heavy Assault flammen army, Hummel build, P4 IST build. Therefore fielding marders as primary AT leaves them in small number or nothing on P4s. Going for Mechanized builds can be combined with various things, but most of all most SE players will buy a hummel which will chew up a lot of fuel. Therefore SE's primary AT is 50mms with addition of 1 or 2 marders, rest is P4s most likely. Swims on manpower, flammens always cost so much in pool and muns that you can't field spams of them therefore you'll buy sergeants for every squad to get rid of extra manpower (depends on build type)

Luftwaffe's standards are always infantry so they are infantry heavy with a lot of fuel left overs, which means? Marders. Plenty of marders for AT because 50mms munition cost would hurt the upgrades they get on failschrimjägers. Swims in fuel, all fuel goes for various of objects, often AT.

That's whole PE- some break these common builds and goes for something exotic- but most will stick by them.
