I had a look of the replay and particulary on the first fight CD was talking about with the rifle + engie. I may have an explaination here :
1) The PG with G43 was targeting the rifle which was just coming into his field of vision. The PG stupidly took a step forward which is stupid considering that PG should stay at long range... It happens sometimes when you try to focus fire on an ennemy unit before this unit can be completely seen. The PG deals damage to the rifle.
2) The rifle and the engie come at the same time into the PG field of vision. The PG with G43 and the other PG change target to kill the engie at close range. So the damages dealt in first place to the rifle are useless.
3) Engie retreat but dealt enough damage to force the PG with G43 to retreat (he would have been destroyed).
4) The last PG cant win alone VS a rifle so he retreats.
5) The new PG unit coming from the north deal damage to the rifle but this unit deals damage to differents men inside the rifle compared to the first fight. Riflemen don't die so the rifle unit wins the fight.
6) Rifle move meet a very low health PG with G43 unit with no cover. Kill one guy and force this unit to retreat.
One rifle won the game (nearly).
PS : i dont see the point to wub this kind of replay. Strange idea...
@poster rofl@yourpridepost. bad game just posted coz of popular name inside -> pridepost. Listing "strategy details" here is just bollocks. Your first rifle simply headshotted all 4 PGs and that was gg right there. Doh! Let's see how your game goes against my WM next time. Expect 15 min. ownage game posted right here.
@robienator Yeah, you observed it nearly accurately. Just that I focus fired the engineer in the first battle. That is also what you have to do. Regardless the single rifle continued headshotting PGs, racked up vet while doing that and continued headshotting even more. It was just ridiculous. A total of 4 PGs beaten by that 1 rifle. Squads jumping out of cover happens all the time, but 1) 2 PGs should beat charging engee+rifle anyway and if they don't then 2) the next PG should insta gib the badly hurt rifle. Ridiculous to see this crap being prideposted. Can't wait to give my revenge

I know that it looks like a pridepost. but 1 - i posted it because of im playing really bad vs PE 2 - i think you forgot about a jeep, which was doing good support, and PE squads with reduced health were finished with rifles. - its about your quastion - why i won many times. 3 - and 1 more time... - im bad vs PE often

The first Rifle squad had 9 kills and only lost 1 man and even with the engineers it's still Freaky! The replay has 'OMG' value but it's not worth a Wub
Who knows many factors. Close range PG's should win plus generally speaking with an upgrade they should have been killing something. Perhaps because they were moving? I was expecting the pg's to win the early battles b/c of the upgrade but the results were odd or one-sided.
Epic jeep
mayb mg bunker and braunings were unnecessary -
only t1 from amer vs PE
