S3E11 CTA Gates of Hell | TERRIFYING Enemy Reinforcements! | Hardcore German Conquest

[@mangyminotaur30]

That last point was rough and assaults are always annoying. But I'd like to think that enemy reinforcements make the whole thing so dynamic and so much more fun. Its way better than sitting behind a line and defend. You'll feel really good by having a good setup to meet any incoming enemies and the feeling of scrounging up whatever final reserve you have and sending it on the last point ugh *chefs kiss*

Yoo that cow was done so dirty 😂😂

[@HoundU2]

For real! a good battle worth the watch!

[@danobananobenik]

another great video Puggo, I had to chuckle about the Panther. if it made it to the battlefield it was a beast. too bad the average readiness of Panthers was around 30%. they were using an engine that was designed for a much lighter tank. the interweaved roadwheels made maintenance awful, as a bunch of wheels needed to be removed to just replace one. The brits even reactivated a German Panther plant after WW2 and the tank didn't even make the british trials. Too much german engineering. Luckily we don't have to worry about that in Gates of Hell.

[@PuggoRebornChannel]

Absolutely!

Another challenging but successful battle completed. Well done! The AI reinforcenents are crazy.. im trying to do a better job of getting scouts along the flanks to cut down on emeny forces entering the battlefield unnoticed.. i think im going to try and mine the roads after their forces start showing up... trying to cut down on the number of vehicles coming my troops..

[@Inkinred]

I really love harassing the enemies flanks, what I’ve been doing lately is making a little recon squad of 4. 1: A medic with AT lots of smoke. 2: Signal flare artillery guy with extra smoke, and panzer faust. 3: Sniper with AT, smg, smoke. 4: Officer with AT, smg, smoke. I never unlocked any units that come with body armor, so I loot it offa corpses. Super fun harassers 😂

Pro tip for next battle - don't move only one tank (and without infranty support) because it's blind and it will die easily. Move tanks by two - even if one is hit, second will destroy target. Also support them with infranty close to their back. In german tank commander manual tanks move by two - two goes forward, two are back. When first two end move, they wait for the 2 from back. It's called caterpillar movement, please check it on Military History Visualized - German Panzer Tactics WW2 - Attack. There is also leapfrog movement explainded

I'm caught up at last!! Happy days! 😃

[@PuggoRebornChannel]

Awesome!

[@zzirSnipzz1]

Enjoyable series

[@RichardJones-rx2iz]

Hmmm? Loads of artillery and not used efficiently! Click on artillery piece and press F6 and left click at required area for continuous bombardment! I use one large gun and flatten the pointI then move on to the next point. Hope this helps 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@PuggoRebornChannel]

A few Episodes I did just that. Leveled a few points before engaging.

[@joosterijk3861]

The Side plates on the sherman where purely to shield the Ammunition Stowage racks from getting hit, They didnt really care about the crews protection, You can cleary see this when looking at later models of the M4A3, where the Ammunition was moved to racks underneath the turret basket. these models did not have the extra armour plates on the sides, even tho the side armour was exactly the same as in previous models.

[@PuggoRebornChannel]

I watched a video a few months ago and It showed the protection of ammo in back and 2 crew members in front. I don't say it for no reason. If I am mistaken then I apologize for the misunderstanding. Good info tho

[@joosterijk3861]

@@PuggoRebornChannel No need to apologize bro, im not criticizing you, i just thought id share some history. Im also not sure if the game models it, but historically the sherman only had one Plate on the front left side of the tank (slightly behind the driver) i would say if they did it to protect the crew they would have copied the right side with a second plate to protect the turret crew from the left side as well. But in fairness, making sure that the ammo doesnt explode immediatly is a pretty good way to protect the crew, so indirectly you can definetly say it protected the crew more

[@PuggoRebornChannel]

Thanks brotha, I love gaining whatever knowledge I can get. So thank you for the clarification!

[@KokotoHero-N3]

I had no idea you could click and drag to space out troops on cover, I'm like 100 hours in, mind = blown.

[@PuggoRebornChannel]

Hell yeah! It makes things wayyy easier to manage

[@yootoobnao]

Please face the enemy tanks with your front armor - esp with those shermans. Hold down right click then move the mouse in the direction you want the tank to face.

[@PuggoRebornChannel]

I do this all the time. The tanks will move toward the enemy firing in a different direction. I always talk about broadside shots in my videos. Provide timestamps otherwise

[@yootoobnao]

@@PuggoRebornChannel It's amazing that you reply to so many comments. Serious commendations for your effort man (and great content - i esp like how you stay focused/immersed on the game with your commentary). You always face forwards when you are direct controlling the tanks, but when you are in commander mode you never do it (example 18:57 - there were multiple instances in this video but it would require me looking for it more carefully to get the timestamps >.

[@PuggoRebornChannel]

First off, thank you. I do my best to help and entertain the community. Even if I feel it's being rubbed the wrong way doesn't mean I won't give a reason. At the very least, thank you for testing me. I need it from time to time haha As for the time stamp, I can see why you run down the rabbit hole. Check 19:08 for reference as to why I refute the claims. I did an edit just after moving tanks and infantry. This way, ppl don't have to sit through all my clicks. You'll see that I position all 3 tanks facing that direction. In the moment you time stamped, I tried to expedite the "time to kill" bc of multiple things going on. Thereafter, I made the adjustment bc of the threat. Keep a close eye on edits, my friend. Not all of them have fire transitions. Thanks again

[@cristianbotez6760]

You should also go for Wirbelwind as it an op tank. A great tank ti destroy planes and even more op against infantry

[@PuggoRebornChannel]

Done, I will be seeking to unluck before long
