[Killer344]

Battle N°15190


News from the front:
Our 39th Terror (Killer344) and 242nd Blitzkrieg (MrGunny) divisions successfully assaulted and defeated the 34th Airborne (iherduliekmudkips) and 406th Airborne (bristiler) divisions in a fierce skirmish. While it was a victory, many men lost their lives for the German cause. The assault is progressing fast and the Allies can't stop us!


The title says pretty much what happened there, and it was more fun of what I was expecting, and I think I saw the most insane blob in my whole time in EIR here lol.

Just watched through this, and yeah that was an insane blob. As for the ingame "how do you fight that?" The answer is MG's. Overlapping MG's, covered by grens and volks, preferably with LMG's. Blobs that big won't have much support and they will only get 1 fireup to kill your MG's. Your LMG's managed to do the job, but its nothing an MG or two couldn't have done better, since the battle was largely static during that blob fight.

It was a fun game, but I wasted my AS early and couldnt fight ur dang LMGs, I wanted that P4 so bad.

I didnt think the AB's were doing so well, even blobbed up. Also airborne barely harm skirted p4s, and if you flank them from behind by calling in a drop you usually end up unsupported and the AB has to retreat. And as allies you have no units that can attack p4s without taking damage if youre not armor. (repairs or pershing) It hits at guns, rifles, rangers, airborne, shermans, m10s etc and deals reasonable damage to eveyrthing. With vet and skirts its probably the best allrounder tank in the game.

indeed, and with german steel is made of awesomeness ! I lol´d at all those rrs barely damaging it :p.

my vet2 skirt panzer4 take much damage on frontal armor against RR airborneblob

It was coincidence that we were both doing the same thing, which left neither of us with a more conventional ally to support us.  So we were just left with all these ab squads...  I knew we were going to lose from the start.  Also my strafes and bombs were bugged and were flying away without doing anything.

Lame to the bone, some teams will pick crossroads for the exact same reason if they think they are up against Air superiority, because the sloping of the map screws with the Planes.

Please give me a map where subversion doesn't work or V1s just harmlessily dud.

Might explain why killer was insisting strongly on being the person to host the game. 

[MistenTH]

Pure AB suffer from this issue of being weak at certain things, and this is it happening in action. You'll need a HMG component and an ATG component to have a chance in such battles. It's always a laugh though to have AB hoards =D

Yea the crossroads issue, well, some people use it to their advantage against air support, but frankly, crossroads is also a good 2v2 map. If you're using air superiority and stuff, you'll just have to learn which maps affect your attack runs, in what direction etc. You usually can get them off, but only in 1 of the directions.

I told you I would play any map but RTC (for obvious reasons), and you agreed to play crossroads, I never said I won´t play anything but crossroads.
