mensch Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Assault Boats.. definatly Assault Boats* *don't ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal DI FOLCO Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 My good day, I list them all : * SMG squads, make them mow down enemies at short range (run into them if necessary !!) * Puppchen : buy 10 of them for the price of 2 ATGs, make a barbecue with allied tanks ! * 37mmAA Flak : this thing is surprisingly mostly immune to small arms, and eat Stuarts at breakfast :eek: Inf killer too !! * 150mm+ arty - not really "gamey", they just bury the enemy troops !! :eek: * AT Pillboxes - in a small QB there's some chance that your opponent won't have heavy AT assets...If the map is open (often !) this thing is like an indestructible immobile Panzer with MUCH ammo * Wasp !!! Again only in armor light scenarios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leta Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Don't forget the skdf 7/1 and 7/2. Almost indestructible vehicles. And the evil 20mm flak gun. Put tons of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Bellator Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Agreed! Masses of 20mm flak guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally's World Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 The Ostwind with its 37mm AA Flak gun. I just finished a scenario in which I had four of them and they just hammered the opposition who had only a few AT guns and one anti-tank team. Quite deadly against non-armored and lightly armored stuff. And like Pascal DI FOLCO said, it eats Stuarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipmonkey25 Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 I've seen Ostwinds whack Chaffees. I never take Jagdtigers or King Tigers, unless I have enough points to bring an Ostwind along. They are the ultimate anti-tank destroyer weapon, they normally kill a Hellcat in one shot and a M10 or jackson in two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Ultimate Gamey force: 12 kubelwagons and 10 Pumas for suicide recon behind enemy lines. 3 companies of SMG squads for short range firepower 12 Puppchens for AT defense. 12 Hetzers for inexpensive mobile AT defense 10 of the Heaviest Rocket FOs available. 30 elite sharpshooters 12 King Tigers for the ultimate gameyness money can buy. All of these units fall under Hitler's new fighting force dubbed: Kamfgroup Gameybastard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Age Santa Posted September 28, 2001 Author Share Posted September 28, 2001 yes, those are all Axis forces though. I need some Allied gamey forces too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Saunders Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 My vote goes to the units that have been on the front-lines the longest. After a month or more without baths, they will be very gamey, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russellmz Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 hahahah good one, i wanted to do a scenario with the most USELESS units, but ppl only mentioned like 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen. Sosaboski Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Useless? Yes, assault boats. Also: trucks. I find them useless, except if you've got to move big stuff far away and are not under fire. 14 inch FOs. Yeah, they're nice, but unless you design your own scenario, you never get to use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpkr Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Allied units - Wasps. Churchills (overarmored bastards). And most especially, .50 mg jeeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 The players using the computers and directing the game moves. For that matter all the parts of the Game are in fact gamey in that they are a part of a greater Game whole. OK, I will go away now, too tired and getting a bit silly...

Gen-x87H Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Jesus I am seeing alot of units in here considered gamey. It appears this whole thing is a game. Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted September 29, 2001 Share Posted September 29, 2001 Well, if you can figure out how to do it just have a bunch of tank crews (no armor) and have them fight it out. I think that has to be the gamest tactic. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted September 29, 2001 Share Posted September 29, 2001 how about the SuperPershing...gamey plus a 90mm gun, go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonwagon Posted September 29, 2001 Share Posted September 29, 2001 And don't forget the DAIMLER AC. , the one shot kill on the move............yucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 If we speak "mismodeled" and "mismodeled to be too strong" unit, then probably the SdKfz 7/2 and 7/1. If we speak underpriced, then the .50cal on the M3A1 and M5A1 halftracks with unlimited ammo. If we say overly effective for the price and at the same time a great unit for fast-paced surpises or experienced players, then probably M8 HMC or Wasp. If we speak "makes too much of a difference in a game", the Pueppchen. [ 09-29-2001: Message edited by: redwolf ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Logan Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 considering 185 challegners were put into production and were spread out, i would say the insanely effective Challenger is underpriced, hail the rarity factor cmbb will put in make that damn thing the price of a king tiger.

Stoffel Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 there are no gamey units in this game. only problem is there are people who try to find gamey ways to use these units instead of using them for the purpose they were made for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As already said they either are "too powerful" relative to their historical counterparts and/or underpriced when played in QB ... Lastly "rarity factor" is the last missing factor, allowing for hordes of Puppchen, JagdPanthers, etc.. So there are gamay units and gamey players :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 Pascal, the answer to the units you named is simple,battle parameters! choose june 44 and voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
