I love that you're experimenting with this DAK style! Some thoughts I had while watching the gameplay: 1. HMG's can actually board 250's. They can't shoot the team weapon out of them, but keeping a 250 near an MG is a trick I use sometimes. If the MG gets flanked, loading it into a 250 lets it soft retreat much faster and much more safely (assuming no nearby AT or snares). It can be a fun way to keep your MG in play. 2. Given that you're going for the flak truck and not 250/9, do you think you'd get more value out of increased penetration option over the increased mg damage from the armored battlegroup? That might make it easier to keep the flak alive against an m8. Granted, maybe it wouldn't have much utility beyond that unless you're facing a heavy armor battlegroup.

Hey Stephenn nice showcase of great halftrack micro again! I'm wondering if there might be some opportunities for even more efficiency. Since you're going big on assault grens, maybe you can drop the third pgren for a second panzerpioneer, using the manpower saved to get combat halftracks online earlier. That might help them tank damage like you want them to a bit better so you spend less time repairing. Also gives you access to the weapon upgrades if you need them. Also wondering if Italian Combined Arms might also be a good fit for this strategy. Since you've got the halftracks on the front line, going down the left tree would enable you to get the bonus vision for your at gun/ mg and very fast capping on dismounted assault grenadiers. There's a currently a bit of a lull in your build around 4 CP too so getting a Carro Armato for strong flank defence could also be nice. Lategame you could have artillery offmap for a finisher or go pact of steel - it makes the Stuka absurdly cheap at 270 mp and 59 fuel.

Can I ask why you didn't get improved halftracks? If you save all that mp on the early game surely 150 mp for upgrade wouldn't break the bank. You had 3 250s so it feels like you would get value especially since they get the health and armour upgrade from it even before you spend munis on further customisation. With the health from that and the smoke upgrade they don't have to be so scared of a snare.

Hello hello, looking back at this video, I think one upgarde you didnt get that can really makes your midgame stronger is the vet SL. The 6 man pg's are monsters and really bully rifleman. Since you were floating that much mp, that's an upgrade I would have prioritize. I think it also gives vet faster for all inf, assgren and pio included. And losing your pio really hurt you because you lacked faster repair imo, and no mines nor minesweaper.

Hi Oziligath! Yeah I think the 6 man upgrade is better than the MG34 I was trying to get out. Yeah the Pioneer loss hurt. I've adjusted my unit positioning style now though. Asides from the early game, I feel it's better to keep the Pioneer in the center to actively repair the 250HT. Then focus on capping after a decisive battle has been won. EP44 will explain! :) ggwp!

Excellent micro Stephen! I’m a mid level (1600) dak 1v1 player and I have a similar build. I’ve found that not rushing 1.5 is optimal with this style. Instead, after t1 get improved half track and one ass gren. This lets you 1) more aggressively use the assault disembark without risking a total halftrack loss and 2) lets you upgrade one of your two halftracks to a mortar. This eases micro on your end (you noted in the midgame the micro of two was too intense) AND increases micro needs on their end from the mortar overwatch. It also lets you keep the jager/pak callin in your back pocket. I found rushing the tech - even rushing an early ambulance - just hurts tempo too much with this style of play and really damages the early to mid game transition. Food for thought - gg as always.
@StephennJF
@StephennJF 3 күн бұрын
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Mark! Much appreciated! Yeah in future play testing I've discovered just as you say! It's better to purchase the Assault Grenadiers, saving the Jaegar or AT gun call-in for quick response to a Allied LV threat. As much as I like the DAK med truck, I agree that it sacrifices to much tempo and only works with a bike start. A future video will show this! :) I'll have to further test the improved 250HT with the Assault Grenadiers. When you do go for the improved 250HTs, what do you tend to get next from the Armoury, the Vehicle Survival Package or Veteran Squad Leaders next? I feel like the Vehicle Survival Package is a must.

@@StephennJF t1.5 because I simply cannot make t2 work for the life of me. For t2 tech, if I don’t go 250/9 I do vehicle survival as that puts the ht comfortably out of engine crit range when factoring in the small arms damage on approach. It also has so much utility - like diving a weapons team and smoking on them, or smoke coving a capping unit. Can also let them more safely act as a munitions sink for allies. I usually do veteran squad leaders shortly after my ht call in - always keeping mp for it as a fast counter to lvs. I almost never preemptively call it unless I’m way ahead and want to solidify tempo/force a suboptimal motor pool build to respond… but usually if I’m in that position I just flakverling right after t2. So usually pg pg ht t1 combat ht (if ht lived) ass gren t1.5 flak if I’m ahead to solidify position. Only then vehicle survival/veteran squad leaders.

IMO if DAK’s META does not involve 250 and other light vehicles then this faction needs a tweak. DAK is supposed to be a different and interesting faction compared to the mainline factions like USF and Wehr. Btw, when will we have a new On META Report 😊 have been waiting for one since the latest patch.

I don't think DAK needs a redesign by any means. It's so much fun to play, but some slight buffs to their suppression capabilities and population reduction on 250HT/med trucks would help out at all game stages. Well position Riflemen and Infantry Sections can really cause DAK some headaches at the moment and it's part of the reason why I've been exploring Assault Grenadiers once again to force quick retreats on Allied Infantry. I was on holiday for a over a week in early October, but I've been getting in plenty of games since to understand the meta. The new On Meta Report should be out middle of this week :)

Yeah that is completely fair. they are 10 muni for minor damage as well, so you are losing some time on building regular mines and so on. G43 Jaegars with flare mines would be pretty neat. I'd use them more frequent. Would that replace the flare they already have though. I just thought i'd mention them because people rarely use them, and i understand why they prefer to use those muni on regular mines

@StephennJF
@StephennJF 9 күн бұрын
I feel an early Kettenkrad has most viability in 1v1s. In team games, the maps are narrower, less capping points, more units on the field and it's more difficult to simply cap the other side of the map if things get dangerous. I feel in 2v2 it's almost always better to get a 2nd pioneer first, that way cover/wire can be built and it can be used in combat. I have been going for a mid/late game Kettenkrad though in team game for vision control and it is very strong!
