Still struggling in PE matchups as US. I played this one vs. SultanisBlack about as well as I've ever played PE with good Engie map control and such, but still lost. Not really sure what to even do differently, so any tips would be appreciated.

Is this your pure P.E account? You go by many names my friend. Legendary.

Watched it.

First I would never do 4 engi into rifles.

2 eng rax is still by far and away the best.

2nd you need to prioritize fuel at teh start. Your engies should have gone straight for your fuel and his cut offs. PE players cannot be everywhere and if they split up you can pick off their units. Fuel is PE's life blood if you can deny it he cannot out tech you. Ignore everything that is not a connector to the fuel and his fuel.

Go where their units are not. It's harder on beaux because there are so few avenues of attack but it can still be done.

Only fight battles you know you are going to win. Too many of your battels were 50/50 battles which is what the PE player wants. During the early game only fight if you wknow you are going to win.

Second go straight to a greyhound get skirts and you're golden.

Check out my replay here for examples of early game:

Haven't got time to watch the replay, but I can give a little tactic I like to use.

Your engi's are a very cost-effective way to damage PE grens, but only in very close combat (knifing range so to say). So you can try to get into close combat by using buildings, hedges, cover, jeep pushing, closing in while they are capping. You only need to do a little damage that will give your rifles a MUCH better chance at winning an engagement.

Further, PE grens have a low upkeep but a high reinforcement cost. Also, they have free healing. That means you should always focus on trying to kill squad members, often by targeting the damaged squads

Thanks for the tips! Haven't tried 2 engie start vs. PE in a long time. I'll give that another go.
