It's an optimal tactic. Death Korps is at it's strongest when it's turtling, but turtling only works if you have the majority of the map. What better way to do this than to build up fortifications a short jog away from the enemy base? It's what I do, at least. The kreig player's fortifications didn't last very long unfortunately, but more gun turret emplacements and krak grenade jaegers would've dealt with those pesky rapier armor destroyers.
@@milkforthekhorneflakes3581That's one of the things that basically kept me in check. I wouldn't dare do an aggressive push unless my defenses are set, relatively speaking. But you're right, if only the Krieg player had set up just a little bit more turret emplacements (with anti-vehicular upgrades) it would've made the life of the Salamander player one hell of a slog to fight thru. Kudos to him for opening up that aggressively. I know I'm too much of a pussy to do that 😂.
@@lukmaanpratomo6866 Good news, the turrets are anti-vehicle right out of the gate, recieving anti-infantry as an upgrade later. Bunkers for infantry, turrets for vehicles.
Late game by Death Korps was beautiful. Tanks soaking damage and firing at the Razorbacks, while plasma grenadiers and Minotaur melt infantry. I get Old Joe's complaints, but he was ultimately not crushed by Krieg cheese, but by just how well Yoo executed combined arms tactics.
Fantastic comeback from DK player. For a second there it looked over. Razorback+ Rapier combo looked absolutely brutal to deal with but he pulled back in the end. The minotaur absolutely mulching all that primaris infantry was entertaining. Well done commandant. You make the Korps proud
Nice casting, but speaking about tunnelvision, Mr Landshark, you should look at the minimap a bit more often. :P As for the game, Salamanders seemed screwed since they didn't retake points and rebuild their economy, neither did they do critical amount of damage when they bounced back.
The Death Korps player choosing Death Korps because he wanted to play infantry seems a bit silly. Vanilla imperial guard does that better. *This* faction's all about it's fortifications and giant vehicles, using the territory and strategic points claimed through extremely aggressive use of said fortifications to bolster their economy and churn out said vehicles. An infernus instead of a leman russ and hellhounds instead of chimeras would have made a big difference here, I think, and some bunkers with anti-vehicle upgrades would've helped too. The rapiers were complicating that for sure, but the infantry wasn't working either. That salamander player could've crushed him if he wasn't so passive.
What the heck were Sororitas [with charcoal skin!?] doing in the Salamanders army! lol Both Unification and Apocalypse have some lore murder going on. >.
DK player probably could've stayed infantry if he got more lazcannon heavy weapons teams. He built one then sent it to die alone, which is a real shame because I thought we finally had a DK player that knew more than :build heavy weapons teams, give them autocannons, feed them to razorbacks.
This is a battle of two unfinished factions. The result was immediately obvious. Salamanders never have time to capture points, and they don't have enough resources. Their scouts move slower than other space marines. Krieg defeats everyone else already on T1, thanks to his heroes and bunkers. 😀
@@benignsentient6772 Well, saying someone is bad doesn't mean that the commentator is better automatically. Same as knowing what to do doesn't automatically make great level of execution.
@@Eshelion Good idea, I would encourage the sage commenter to practice then! I really want to see some higher level Salamander play, or at least some specific suggestions. I think this channel's content will only get better!
Man, that Krieg player got some balls opening up the match being that aggressive.

Very lore accurate attitude

Yeah Old Joe could've taken some points for better eco when he held the advantage but tunnelvisioned hard

Spamming Razorbacks.... That looked horrendous to fight - glad the death korp took this one with real tank units!

I have no idea what your on about, my attention to the minimap is second to none :P

They rarely actually win though.
Not an auspicious debut for Sex God Old Joe, but you gotta start somewhere! The razorbacks forgetting they couldn't cap points joke had me laughing.

They only get lascannons t3, but yeah, it shouldnt have been fed like that lol
All what I hear is „Fun to fire“ canons instead of thunderfire canons x)
both chaos lord and force commander get access to plasma guns in tier 1 with the armory upgrade
Love the casting man!! ❤❤
Awesome cast!
beautiful match to watch actually
The questions not why the engineers get a dog its why no other squad does

Jo im watching, THIS!
This was fun match but will say that minotaur omg one shot primaris holyshit
Blue money and green money 😭💀💀😭
god salamander player WAS SO BAD ffs
Yeah I guess there just aren't that much players in the mod so the casters have little choice of players/games to cast.
If you think you can do better, you should sign up to play on a cast!
