So, I am restarting this and I will have some fun with some strange picks this time. Come along! First thing's first, before I start the campaigns (Victory Medal), Kesselring!

Alright, I very hurriedly went through 39, and got De Gualle. I must say, fittingly, he is very useful on the French IAP Artillery, and trash on pretty much everything else except for maybe some mortars.

Now I am planning to get a good Artillery or Tank for the Axis, and I believe I have found an Artillery that is not one of the Badoglio/Leeb dichotomy.
Ushijima. He has 4 stars, high "tech", and a pretty bad demoralize. Unfortunately, he is only unlocked in Pacific, so I will get a tanker first. I have also looked at Mannerheim and Graziani, but I have come to the conclusion that they are just not high output enough.
Who is the tanker? Well, I would love to get Heinrici, but to be honest, he is trash in this game. So I have decided upon Hoth. His purchase will allow me to avoid tank tech, and 3 stars plus 12% damage to be frank is a lot. In fact, it is higher than Guderian's minus Anti-Armor.

I have decided to get Ushijima first, mostly because of lineup reasons and that I already have two decent tankers. After that, I am going to get Hoth. I would love an allied infantry, but Clark unlocks in 44 and I am holding out for him. So directly after Hoth I am going to get Clark.

If you plan on using Hoth's Scout, I think you should consider upgrading the Maus and Panther/44M's movement. Are you planning on Rundstedt? With Pacific coming soon, the biggie is: Yamaguchi or Raedar? |

With Pacific coming soon, the biggie is: Yamaguchi or Raedar? I will NOT upgrade movement. I am not planning on getting Rundstedt, and I will get Yamaguchi in 1945. I don't need a navy right now, as Ozawa OP. Scout really doesn't need movement, and upgrading it is a waste of resources. Rundstedt is clearly the best axis infantry, and that is exactly why I am not getting him. I have long wanted to get Yamaguchi, and although Raedar is good, I'll still have Kess, Riccardi, and Ozawa. Soon, I'll post a new episode of Convoluted Logic with Gerdy that will leave you screaming. |

Welcome to Convoluted Logic with Gerdy, the part of the show where Gerdy comes out and does Convoluted Logic. I am pulling out the Maths (no, if you say maths you deserve to die) on this one, to prove once and for all, that Hoth is almost as good as Guderian. This will take place on a German double level VI Maus with level 3 tech.
Here are what I take into account:
- Blitzkrieg is really bad, saving a minimal amount of HP. It would be better for you simply to outrange your enemies, or if not that let Artillery and Infantry do the heavy work. Heavy Tanks are way to expensive for us to be wasting them like that. (Now, if it worked on the enemy turn it would be amazing, but I digress).
- Movement (particularly on a tank general), is not particularly useful. Yeah, it is something, but that something is basically negligible. Slow and steady wins the race and doesn't lead to your troops being slaughtered.
- XP skills are not great on tanks. Especially Heavy Tanks. I will rank the two of them together as equal to Blitz. They are that bad.
- I will take AA as +12% damage and not take consistency into account.
Okay! Now moving on. A German double level 6 Maus with tech 3 has damage of (as an average) 82+107=189/2= 74 damage. That is what we will take into account. On Guderian, that is 94 damage and Hoth gets 89 damage. Guderian will want to hit tanks maybe one sixth at most of the time, usually as a coup de grâce. Infantry are a much better target for him. In any case, that is +4% damage.
This can be taken away from Hoth's 12% to get +8% for Hoth. 89×1.08 is equal to 96. He attacks and counterattacks at 96. Guderian attacks at 106 and counters at 94, so Hoth will actually counter MORE than our golden boy. (In fact, he counters a lot more than Rommel, too.) Of course, he attacks -10 and has 15% less HP, but the fact that he can get that close to Guderian is strange.
This has been Convoluted Logic with Gerdy, tune in next time to hear Gerdy say, "Forget Yamamoto vs. Kesselring, Yamaguchi is the only true option!"

This has been Convoluted Logic with Gerdy, tune in next time to hear Gerdy say, "Forget Yamamoto vs. Kesselring, Yamaguchi is the only true option!" 1. Remember that Guderian is a MTer, not an HTer, which gives Blitzkrieg much more utility. Godly Rommel is there for HTs. 2. Tanks don't NEED movement (unlike arty), but they do like it. Especially HTs. Not so much MTs, but they still like movement. MTs need movement, because the best city-takers are fast tankers. Those are my only complaints. Thi is all very sound logic! |

"Slow and steady wins the race and doesn't lead to your troops being slaughtered." Laughs in Case Blue, Barbarossa middle and pretty much most Eastern Front

When I try to rush in Case Blue, I dismally failed, but when I went slow, I perfected it, the single hardest Eastern Front mission. |

When I came back to Case Blue I rush secondary objective and still win,but still I do agree with your opinion |
