ToH Video Replay Review 71: The Unstoppable Calliope!

Written by Adam

Fifty-one kills!

It's back to good old 1v1s this week in a skill-based show. This armor vs. defensive match shines in the old way with much cutting off, small skirmishes, and the unstoppable calliope. Yes, that caption says 51 kills, you'll have to see it to believe it. Pay attention to the great 20mm rocket barrage that turns the game around halfway through. This is the reason we play CoH.

	I actually remember watching Azza's defensive doctrine primer over at GR. One thing he said in particular: "Since they lost their main gun I really don't worry about calliopes anymore" To be fair that was ages ago in vanilla

Thank you Bridger, Rogers, and Somebloke for the shoutcast and excellent analysis. Rushing the Pershing in was definitely a mistake on my part. Then again, I think I would've killed the Panzer IV I was shooting if he hadn't have used a rocket barrage. And yes, AWM would've been very nice to use right there, it just slipped my mind.

The main turning point of that game in my mind is whenever I kept nading the zombie squads at Azza's bunker. I was getting so much XP from it, and it helped me get out the Calliope all the faster.

Somebloke was an awesome guest. I'd love to see him back.

Cheers!

	Anyone think an Ostwind could have worked better than that first Panzer IV? Good game, regardless.

	The ostwind would have been stickied to death, I would have been intrigued to see what a KCH rush could do.

	I agree with chains, 2 pershing and 2 tigers in 1v1 only would be great, in 2-3-4 player games it would be overkill.

	my god that was horrible, the poor axis player, he should have done anything and everything to take out that Sherman, and the fact that all them guys died running into the treads was sickening, never get that close to a US tank... I once lost a whole squad to a damn M10 on a road, ugh the memories... which brings up the point of why do German tanks never run over troops ?

	"which brings up the point of why do German tanks never run over troops ? " They do, you've obviously never watched Stugs in the middle of riflemen. It's mainly due to the speed of allied tanks, I think.

	Better game then we had last weeks. The thing i missed of the allied player was the upgrade(s) in the supply center, when you have 300 fuel you can buy the first upgrade for sure becouse its only 100mp and 50 fuel. It gives you quite some mp back for you. (25 to 35 mp a minute average) It works fine when you are performing riflespamm.

I think the lates shoutcasts have become more and more erratic and unorganized.

With everyone talking at the same time, the screen going back and forth all over the place, map goes up and down. Seems like sometimes no one knows what's going on and what who is doing. Didn't the casts with Vitensby use to be more structured? Oh yeah, I said It, VITENSBY! ;P Just kidding, Rogers is doing a great job! And the earlier shoutcasts this season weren't this messy, were they?

And Rogers & co needs to stop being so quick on the play button. Or maybe it's bridger's computer that needs to stop lagging. Cos it can get really annoying when bridger's behind in time. Either Rogers waits a couple of seconds when bridger finishes counting down, or bridger starts it on 2 or 1.

I'm not saying it's bad but the shoutcasts really have been getting messy lately.

And sometimes when Bridger asks how many munitions does blablabla have? Instead of going; Idk, I'm not watching that player. Here's an Idea, how about switching player? I know it gets you behind like two seconds when you do it, but you can always catch up..

I like the guests you've been having, good to finally see a good replay again.

It was funny when bridger went in to autopilot in the beginning. And it got a little akward, like calling your girlfriend the name of your ex haha!

Wow I sound like I hate the show, which I don't. Apart from what I mentioned, you guys are doing an awesome job!

Cheers!
