A few of my friends got the game and I've been trying to help them get better the past few days. They still lose against my East German flavor deck  . What do I do?

NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:Well, do you have some replays? What are they doing? How are you beating them? We need more info to offer advice. I should have saved replays. For the most part they are passive enough to let me grab most the high point areas without a fight and then they try and just do a bum tank rush of Lep 1s and such to try and dislodge me. After their failed attack I can pretty much just steamroll my way to their spawn.

NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:There is the problem. The most important thing in the game is knowing where your enemies are, and where they are going. You should urge them to attack sooner, and stress the importance of taking out the HQ units. Capturing territory for yourself isn't nearly as important as denying the points and reinforcement avenues to the enemy. Have them play around with cheap units ( like the Leopards, and Marder VTSI ), British Fusileers in Spartans, and recon choppers. Learning the terrain of the maps and how it effects line of sight will help them out a lot. I've been helping them with arty, ATGM units, recon choppers and such. Just having trouble getting them to actually be aggressive. I've played a few games with them versus pubs and they do alright

Deutsch Nozzle posted:This is why it helps to play with goons. In TS, we [usually] announce where we are firing our artillery, and you can also announce what locations you are attacking, where you would like us to avoid/shoot, etc. I'm sure the exception here when I accidentally SMERCH'd that T34 rush of ours...

sgnl05 posted:I've gotta say, other than the supply bug I really like the changes. Before the patch half of my games would degenerate into stalemates as everyone hid in cover with supply trucks tanking whatever got thrown at them. Now it feels like you can actually push up with tanks without getting bogged down in a regenerating defence line and routed with arty. Im not sure how I feel about the new range of the tanks. On the upside it makes expensive tanks notably better than their counterparts but ATGMs seem at a lot more risk now with the range only differing 2-300 meters. Guess I just need to change my tactics

I was playing against the hard AI with some friends because they're too scared to do real MP and it seems like the AI doesn't have any unit limits, I killed 8 T80U's in one game with the three of us. Then again the AI seems to just rotate between hilariously bad rushes of tanks and choppers

Have the ITOW jeeps always 1 shot T80Us from the front or have I been having an unlucky past few games? All my T80U losses have been to single hits to the front from ITOWs.

Also don't forget that BUKs can keep recon helis at range or kill them, which can help prevent corrected arty death.

chutche2 posted:As if most people use corrected arty. They just shell forests in your starting zone until you lose your CP. Not all pubbies are stupid... Just most of them. A well combined corrected shot+push is worth more than wasting all your ammo trying to kill a command armor you cant see.

Execu-speak posted:Someone Blackhawk rushed me once, it was right after I had used one single squad of VPZU to kill his starting point command unit and most of his artillery so I think he was very angry. A huge mob charged in and landed in a field right in front of a bunch of hidden T-64B's and within range of my artillery.

Hubis posted:Also it takes forever to reload and absolutely gobbles supply, so use it for a volley right before a push or to flush a target out, not for sustained suppression. I've been playing a lot of NATO with goons recently and I've been surprised just how few people use it this way. Most of the time PACT players bring the burrito up they just blindly fire it uncorrected and dont follow it up with anything. Makes me sad, Burrito right before a rush of VPUZ's has netted me tons of points when done smart.

SO ANGRY posted:Yeah, I still don't understand the logic behind people firing uncorrected arty at all. If I don't have a corrected shot, those rockets don't leave the barrels. Playing with Alchenar on blitz I've learned that an uncorrected shot right off that bat on the field from their spawn to the center often does a lot of damage, but I generally agree.

Hubis posted:Uncorrected shots work ok for gun artillery if you just want to stun to slow/split up units moving through an area, or to spook your opponent, but they're definitely not effective as a tactical weapon. With Rocket Artillery it's usually just a waste of supply. Against an enemy with a lot of arty nothing beats sneaking around a SF recon squad to spot their tubes. They live a lot longer then if you do it with recon heli's. Besides the arty if you can get spots on places they think are safe you might see them grouping up for an assault or pulling back to repair.

I've started bringing some AA infantry with me in small numbers in recent games. Just for those few times where you catch someone with Apaches thinking they've sniped all your AAA on your T80Us and fly into SAM death.

sgnl05 posted:It actually might be. IIRC before the patch infantry would get their RPG off just as the flames washed over them. Now they might get stunned before that. But still, doom fortresses are dead so I'm happy. T-55s eat the ATGM's ammo then run over them with 80s.

Heavy tank wise I think the T-80U is still viable because it has a sexy 2.8km ap 15 ATGM on it which should let it defend pretty well... We'll see.

General Battuta posted:I know this is a dumb question because I shouldn't really be using heavy tanks anyway, but what's the best way to leverage the Abrams' exceptional stabilizer? Closing the range seems deeply foolhardy but if I try to move away won't the Abrams expose its rear armor and get popped? I always bring Abrams. Use good recon to spot their ATGMs and use terrain to close range. Mortaring their ATGM infantry or vehicles will knock them out very quickly(or panic them which makes them pretty much useless). Most maps you can use terrain to get your tanks into range of their ATGMs if you're smart.

nothing to seehere posted:Everyone says that good recon is the most important part of the game, but what is "good recon" and how do I do it and utilize it effectively? Good recon is more about the usage than the units(to a point). You generally want your recon screening your main force so that you can see what the enemy has and were before they can engage you. That way you can decide how to kill them. A lot of pubbies who die gloriously by ATGMs do so because they lead with their tanks or their tanks are right next to the recons giving them no warning before the ATGMs are hitting their tanks. If you know what the enemy has and were you can figure out how to crush them. Or just drop arty.

TychoCelchuuu posted:They want you to feel it. Serious answer: it worked fine for me, but you have to hunt down every last unit. For the final objective on that map I had to hunt down a unit that had left Charlie before the game would say "you win" so maybe look for people who ran away. I cant recommend enough unlocking good AA asap, pubbies love to air rush. After that I went for an armored command, some good infantry(I like Famas guys in AMX-10s) and a good solid tank(M1A1).
