Honestly man, that was very impressive. The quick decison making you made at the heat of it was wild to me. I gave up this game because I couldn't handle the whole macro view of playing them game but watching you made it more enjoyable than I thought
Brit player totally nailed first cca 20 minutes, but then it went slowly downhill for him even though he didnt make any major mistake. I hear people saying brits are strong late game, but from my experience it isnt the case. Especially against wehr. Churchil tanks dont impact battlefield much, because they are so slow and have mediocre firepower and infantry sections cannot keep up in late game against storms or even panzergrens. Not even with brens. I played today on this exact map as brit heavy battlegroup against wehr breakthrough (ELO 1100) and it looked very similar. Just with more mistakes and worse micro. I was winning on VP and KD ratio to cca 20-25min and then i started loosing map control to constant kettenkrad capping, sections got their ass kicked by panzergrens and my churchil was hopeless against pak and two stugs. Just look at 31:00 .. two half dead stormtroopers are retreating through two churchils. They take 4 shots and 2 coax machine gun fire from close range and nothing happens to them. Guess what would happen to two half dead inf section soldiers retreating through two pz4s. Churchil tanks and brens for inf sections should receive buff or cost reduction. Brits should also get some scout unit with quicker capping and xp for capping like all other factions.
Agree with bits of this. Axis late game is really strong, it’s the frontal armour of the tanks and the elite inf to go with it. You can flank as brits, but you can’t really flank with Grants, their main gun is a casemate, not a turret. In this game though it was the opponents micro. He didn’t push with his tanks enough, then he pushed to hard, then he retreated towards the enemy AT, odd choices, his inf play is stronger than vechicle which is why he dropped of. The kettencrad is a strong unit, fast great sight and then the capping, Brits in particular just don’t have a unit that can replicate even close to it
I do not get this forward move of the churchills @32:39 . He has to move to escape the panther flank, but why not reverse? Instead he drives closer to your Pak gun and the Gren that can snare.
Brit player thought there was ~ 10 seconds left in the match. As long as he stops Wehr from capping any VP that's the truth, and he nearly did it too. 2 VP's on the clock. That said, you're right. The best approach would be to back off, and go for another push that bleeds the last few tickets instead of all-inning when ahead. But that's the nature of humans. Watch any blind playthrough of a souls like game and you will see plenty of people die with a sliver of boss HP left cause they greed when the win is 'right there'.
@StephennJF It love playing the game, but my head just can't handle the multitasking. Currently practicing not losing squads in coop vs AI, hoping for it to get better
Painful misclick to wait for 7CP and then chose production instead of the call in on the panther. Great play otherwise. I need to up my wehr skills but I’m usually too short on VPs before I can claw myself back.
Agreed BG misclicks can always hurt! Yeah I feel that's normal for Wehrmacht experience, only Coastal Reserves and MP40 Grenadiers can give an early game power spike. Everything else really comes at midgame or later!

Wow, this game was a roller coaster lol. What an ending!

Overwhelmer0 summed it up nicely!
Have been really enjoying your video's lately!
Seeing your gameplay makes me wish my mind would let me play RTS games
There is some RTS games I love playing like CoH, but others I can only watch like AoE2 & SC2. Do what feels fun! :)

VP edging cause morale damage
Taco Hindenburg!!!
Tried Indian arty but it's really underwhelming! The mortar is terrible and the truck is kind of pointless since you don't even get it early.
Yeah I think the Polsten got nerfed pretty heavily. I wouldn't be surprised if it sees a future buff.
