View Full Version : Silly rifle spammers...

This afternoon I played an 18-minute game on St. Hilaire in which my ally and I OWNED. I mean, we [OWNED] the enemy. I came out with 9 losses, he came out with 17, and our enemies came out with 60-70 each. Here's what happened:

In the starting room, the enemies were levels 3 and 5, both with about 120 games played. I've played about 40, and my ally had played about 10-15. So, it looked as if it wasn't super fairly-matched. It was high resources, and I started by capping points with pioneers and making a WQ. I then made an MG squad and garrisoned the warehouse on my side of the low-yield fuel point. My ally quickly capped the point with pio's and I moved my MG squad into the enemy's warehouse. I had a volks squad out at this time. I was seeing surprisingly little activity, but soon my enemy brought several squads of engineers up towards the fuel point. My MG massacred them. It kind of went downhill from here for our opponents. I proceeded to garrison a couple buildings with MGs that held off a bunch of rifles and airborne. Meanwhile, I teched to sturm armory and started to annihilate their OP's with StuG fire. Since my ally and I had taken so many resource points, placed OP's, and it was set to high resources, the fuel was just flowing in. I teched to Battle Stage and brought out an Ostwind. Game over. Before, the rifles were being badly beaten by the Volks, MG's, and StuGs, but at this point they just got [owned]. Pretty soon my ally and I were rolling into the enemy base with a couple ostwinds, some StuGs, a panther, and a couple P4's. I wish I had saved a replay now. Do you guys think that this rifle spam was so easily countered because I handled it correctly or because my opponents played badly? I was vastly surprised at how easily and quickly we won.

First off, riflespam isn't as effective in High Resources games. The entire point of riflespam is that you cut off their fuel, preventing them from teching to any higher than tier 2. This is impossible in a High Resource game.

Also, should have had used his Airborne effectively and Fired Up + Satchel, your MG nests would've been screwed. I have a feeling that they were not very experienced, or something else was going on.

Actually, he did satchel my MG nest, but I just moved in a Puma and a StuG. And then at the end when they had pretty much lost, one of them tried to tank trap me out of his base...but he put them in the wrong places.

Congratulations, you and your Ally beat two opponents who were obviously worse players then you self.

No, I'm not proud of it. I'm just confused. Because their win/loss ratios were about 50/50 each too.

Don't pay attention to the win/loss ratio, right now its screwed up and it will never be a good indicator of skill.

What the hell is a puma? I've always wanted to know. A real name for a vehicle in this game?

The puma is the nickname for the Axis Armored Car.

Yeah, sorry. Maybe I shouldn't've opened a thread on this. And sorry about 'owned' and such.

Oh, the [owned] is replacing another word that I didn't realize was bad to use here as a synonym.

MG garrison in the building is only counterable by a few things, but when you have several mg in different buildings that makes it even harder. I am suprised they didnt even have snipers or morts, I would have already got a sniper or mortor by the time i saw your MG in the building. It was just silly to charge into a nest of MG fires. I dont think your opponents used the right counter. They were either plain retarded or someone else new were playing this account.

I dont know why some players like to play with dozends of rifles and airborne.... ok if you have just StugIV and AT Guns. I made a masacre on two guys who think infantry only rules.... no mapcontrol just casulties ärhm the medics have ordered trucks to heal all the woundet.

Does the medics need for theyr work maintainiance?

Sounds like your opponents either were trying out a new technique or just plain bad players.
