The new super civilization

[Tower]

When my alli members ask what I think is the best civ, I say: look at what the Koreans players use... And up until now it has been French and Brit... But w global age this have changed... In stead of an army of Brit shooters or French tanks they now bring 5 Heavy Tank MK3 and 4 fighters and they are all German, taking advantage of the Teutonic fury "blessing" - my base used to be a head ache for the Brit and French but the German heavies more or less kill - usually 4 stars

Its not only teutonic imho, its mainly the shorter rally cooldown for Germans

The Teutonic fury is an necessary, otherwise barrack army with armor and weapon blessing is more superior. As usual you need green anti tank gun and IA mines to deal with them.

Make it 6HT, one from alliance. Yeah it's a monster strategy even before GA. But expensive, when I use it I'm stuck at oil, or I'm losing oil; so can't advance much.

Also, you need Brandenburg Gate for this, works well with Roman as well.

I wonder how donated RPG units for defense would deal with mass HT attacks. French has the donation defender advantage so it would be interesting to see how the 6 HTs deal with however many number of bazookas walk out of that city center with the max lvl alliance gate. Looking at the wiki lvl 7 gate would house 7 bazookas with french and 6 for non-french nations. I think it would be pretty neat if HTs did reduced damage to them just to make them a more significant counter. As it stands however it is a dice roll for wars now if the enemy will roll out a standard tank, ranged, siege, healer army which can generally be countered better by donated siege, or if they will run a HT composition which is better countered by donated bazookas I'd figure. That's some meta-gaming right there.

The true battle is against the air force. 1-2 aircraft can decimate the whole defending swamp. I was attacked by 5 Geman HT like this and 5 fighters, and I was able to defeat 5 fighters early, allow my ground troop to delay the heavy tanks long enough!

Bazookas AI need some work. At USA elite we tried this for defense and it did not work at all. For heavy tanks, gating gunners on defense work as well as howitzers. Howitzers over gatling gunners for damage boost and range.

Not to mention, howitzers are generally ignored by the attacking troops. That is if the guy holding the phone does not notice it coming out of the TC.

French is still the hit and 6 ht mk3 with it with 6 Jagdpanzers is unstoppable even against a maxed out full defensive wonders GA base...

Did you try a maxed mortars for defense? Or a mix with howitzers or bazookas?

 

[Brand Marrow]

but very expensive and impossible to use more than once in a blue moon (unless you spend major crowns)...If you use HT armies, do you also often get through without losing any of them?

Maybe this strategy is for higher medal levels where all that matters is the win, and not the cost....

A few of us on the forum have been talking about how excellent Germany is for a long time now. I'm actually surprised it took people this long to realize how badass of a nation they are.

Are mortars useful on defense? What do they do that artillery/howitzers does not?

I'm still completely lost on the purpose of the mortar unit given that riflemen can shoot over walls and mortars do not outrange rifles.

 

[Brand Marrow]

Yup, Germany is the best....i was going to be more strident about it but hard to do without imitating some disturbing ww2 slogan....
BTW Mr Suplex do you play street fighter or just use the icon?

 

[Königsberg]

Don't get how you get good results with 6 HT. Don't they big down due to defenders?

Not if their HT have splash damage and a smart use of planes.

Yes... the German civ is awesome but tricky to fully utilize the rallies. Especially when you have to concentrate on air support deployment at the same time.

Works well with French but why is it the hit?
Germany got 15% damage boost for HT, Romans got one extra HT. What does French bring to the table when it comes to full HT attack?

 

[icebergler]

planes or a few riflemen help to unbog HTs, but since HT's can take out 5 or more defender tanks in a few seconds with their splash damage its not usually a problem.
