The two things I really like about playing Germans in games like this: you get diversity of equipment (sometimes making you scratch your head about how to use it best), and you're always fighting against somewhat uphill odds. Sometimes downright vertical.

Well executed I'd say, good job! I personally was considering leaving the two touch objectives on the left, but the score was a lot closer than I was expecting so it might have been fortunate that you didn't entirely bypass them! It was also really cool to see you fight the AT guns with your tanks, I and most others could never be so brave with them, and truly your unique braveness payed off, well done!

When I saw the models of the German officers out of sync with the tank models right in the first seconds of the video, I remembered how truly amazing it is that this company has also not managed to add tooltips to its UI after it was suggested in 2015. I just have to admit I am a fence sitter and don't know on which side I am on yet: whether the reason is plain greed or incredible incompetence.
