Nations' perks.

[Kyso4ek]

So why do you play each nation? competitive units only

Germany:

-assault squad leader(is he rly that great?);
-luchs(basically 222 with some sort of armor strapped to it for the same cost. however
realistically it only helps vs close at grenade misses or at rifle. well also vs stuart and maybe the dodge);
-flak 38;
-vet sniper(think he s faster aiming then the regular one and 100% accuracy);
-brandenburger sneaky coward tactics;
-pz4H ?
-vet tiger stronk;
-its a shame they nerfed mg42 into oblivion! just put it back pls;


Commonwealth:

-assault squad leader is kinda awesome;
-dodge;
-black watch/anzac rapetrain;
-bofors;
-crusader AA;


USA:

-garand m1, 30cal, marines rapetrain;
-m20;
-m19;
-stuart can hold its own at close range against pz3;
-sherman croc;


USSR:

-hmm????
-guess you can spray the smg all day long in DC?

Japan:

-err????

USSR: charge!!
Japan: mortar (depending on map)....kamikaze!

I play Japan very often and it is my favourite faction, but does the kamikaze have anything (stealth modifier) to make it more useful than a normal infrantry with a grenade in hand?

[ewt.strat29]

yup it does have stealth.

That is very good to know, thank you. But do you happen to have a video showing how effective it is?

[ewt.strat29]

hmmm actually not really. strangely enough.. umm

haven't really had much kama usage footage in AS2.. but there's some small kama usage in a recent AS2 game.. 13 minutes onwards vs demonhard. But that map isnt really kamaki friendly cause of buildings blocking possible stealth path ways..
on other map si could sneak alot more through.

If you can't sneak through they are great on hold fire just to spot the enemy so you can shoot at them.

a old AS1 game there is some usage here.. vs some good players. its basically the same in AS2.. but skip 27 minutes onwards.. if you were to use in on pub it wuold be alot more easier.

I have kamikaze full usage on display at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egspBeFvoAE

Skip to 28minutes to see kamikaze vs centurion... admittedly not the best game but you can get very close to enemy with kamikaze without being noticed. Sometimes it is simply trial and error though.

[Simers]

You can also view Strats analysis of Demonhard play here with Japan: however most of the kamikaze successful attacks are by Strat himself which the video is not spectating.

hope you dont mind me pubbing your video Strat :)

Ha! I was your teammate for this one playing my friends. Do you have a higher resolution video you can upload?

How is it exactly you activiate the explosive device? I know how to arm it, do you press the left mouse button to explode it?

Cheers,

Nice GreenCard - yes you were, well played. I switched recording software so that is actually the best quality at 780p if you go to youtube, unless I re-record it.. my part of the game was relatively boring as we held the left side the majority of the time so I don't think I will do this, I uploaded simply because of the Centurion kill. I am sure we will play again and can record better games!

Wombatgutz:
That Sherman tank today... thats the second time Ive seen this happen. I get a hull destoryed message, but the machine gun in the front of the tank is still active. I was able to repair after a long time and get it going. I do not cheat nor am interested in cheating.
