Russian Armour
« on: December 20, 2009, 06:02:46 PM »
I take it that the Russians are kinda infantry oriented (the 8 man squad that costs 200 mp) so how long do you think it would be to get the ability to make tanks? Americans take a while, same with Brits, and the Wehrmacht get it sooner... Just wonderin.

 Well, actually, depends on how you want/like to play.
 The real disparity is slow mortar, no HMGs. How long for
 armor? Hmm, I'd need to have the game for that ;)
 But since you can get T34/S85 2nd building built, that's
 pretty fast indeed. About same speed as you get support
 depot for USA for baby pumas...

  That's not pure infantry to me :)

It will be nice to see some German players being pummeled by tanks early on instead of the allied players fighting waves of pumas with only rifles.  Seriously though that is my only real problem with the original game.  Goddamn krauts lost the war because our army was better not because we had a better spamability.

 Er... no... Krauts didn't lose war because US tanks were
 better than German Armor... no, no, no... ;)

 Not with 7-to-1 ratio Sherman vs Tiger to win ;)

I posted this right after I saw that last 20 seconds of "eastern front Maps" and I lol'd at the sheer amount of infantry attacking that position. Anyway, so what you guys have told me is the Russians get tanks sooner than everyone else... wouldn't that make them OP vs Wehrmacht? Or better yet Panzer Elite...  :D

EDIT

I mean, the Wehrmacht get only their Volk's Panzerfaust. The PE get... nothing for a while. Maybe their "Anti-Tank" grenades that work against infantry better than tanks.

 No. PE got flame or AT grenades, which are pretty awesome
 truth be told. As for Russian OP early tanks, seems like the
 early T34/76 is crappy. Like people think the Vet0 StuG is
 crappy. They can get an early SU85 (StuG/Marder3 combo)
 but it's purely against tanks, just about, so...

 Pro and con, really. Live and tell. Can't wait to get game :)

No offense, but do any of you rank at least 10 on the 1v1 leaderboards?  The discussion I am hearing so far implies not.

And no...the Allies won the war not because they were skilled, but because of their spammability.  Just look at the Allied casualty numbers vs German casualty numbers.  Numbers don't lie.

Just to clarify. The Allies get tanks a lot faster than the Axis.
The Puma is a vehicle (not a tank) which come after the US's vehicles and the Brits tanks.
On topic: I think the Russia will get tanks pretty fast, seen as they don't have any units that cost fuel, so they can tech fast, and now when we know that the upgrades all cost ammunition the Russians wouldn't have anything that drags fuel. This is ofcause all speculations, we wouldn't know for sure until the mod is released.

Year I see now my post is pretty unclear. I meant that Russia don't have any units that cost fuel before the tanks, the PE could get their tanks out pretty fast, but they have to spend fuel on halftrucks and upgrades, they can choose to go straight panzer IV, but if they do they are going to have a hard time.

 Yup, click T34 icon once, for 10 mp and 1 fuel, 0 pop
 and 100x T34 come out. Of course, they have 1 health
 each, but...

 No, wait, that's conscripts... what was I thinking?!!!
