Where to begin? For starters, I would like to commend your team for inflicting a massive VP drain. You could've won if you managed to hold longer and disrupt your opponents' pushes. For the analysis: Chaffees are good, provided that you have anti-infantry units accompanying them. There's a reason why the Greyhound and the Chaffee are both built in the Motor pool. Chat has already pointed-out your reckless Chaffee push, so I'm moving on to the next topic. Armored BG + Mechanized SC have its strengths and weaknesses. Its obvious strength is a strong and specialized armored force capable of moving heavy firepower anywhere. Its glaring weakness, however, is the lack of artillery, especially against AT guns. To soft-counter that, use smoke from your scouts, mortars, and Greyhounds and Shermans thru the Rearm and Retrofit upgrade. As for territory control, both teams have parity, yours have the southeast, while they have the northwest. On paper, this looks fine since both teams receive a similar resource income. But on practice, the equilibrium of the battle now becomes volatile the more the parity stays long, since both teams are almost equally accumulating resources and units. It now depends who makes the first mistake(s) as seen on those tank dives. (This is my take on territory control. You may or may not agree with this, since not everything that I said is absolute. There will be always be existing wins for climbing against overwhelming odds.) As for the use of Easy-8s, I don't see a problem in the unit itself but more of the problem of how they're used. Remember, the Easy-8 is the best version of the Sherman (apart from the Firefly, which is not in-game) not just because of its 76mm gun, but because of its HVAP rounds (cost 45 muni, timed, +25% DAMAGE, ALWAYS PENETRATES ARMOR!!!). You were floating munis by the hundreds by the time you have 5 Easy-8s! So, how do we exploit this? During tank dives, toggle "Focus Vehicle" so they will only focus on tanks, activate HVAP, focus fire. But if you want more control (fire discipline) on your tanks, toggle "Hold Fire", so they wont fire on different targets and you can focus fire on a specific tank. Since we mentioned that you're floating munis, PLANT MINES!!! (You opponents were also doing it against you!) You're using Armored BG + Mechanized SC, thus, you don't even have off-map arty or airstrikes to use ammo with. use your spare Engie to plant mines on choke points, strategic points, at the sides of the map (if your opponents fancy "wall-hugging" so you won't notice them approach you), some random spot they wouldn't expect, etc. Just make sure you have at least (45 x # of Easy-8s) munis reserved for your HVAPs. As for infantry, personally, if you're picking Assault Engineers, better make use of them instead of Riflemen. Have 2-3 of them equipped w/ flamethrowers, and a spare squad w/ a minesweeper. For supporting AT, either Bazookas or AT guns, your choice. For tank dives, avoid clumping on chokepoints as much as possible since your tanks would have a hard time on pathfinding, as seen on 40:31. And finally, just because this is a VP mode doesn't mean you can't play Annihilation (just as @FluffCorporation pointed out). "Base Inspections" are always an option as it distracts your opponents, forces them to commit units to return to base, and can disrupt their momentum. Considering that they clumped all their tanks together in mid and at north means a "base inspection" could divert some of them and your team could do a "divide & conquer" play if opportunity appears. Either way, all of you played well and the last few minutes were that nerve-wracking.

As soon as I saw you click recovery vehicle I knew it was going to get good😂

That Chaffee push was doomed! What was that 1 shotting them? PS, love your videos. The style of a bygone era. Keep them coming.

Did it not occur to you to drive those 5 E8s into pinks base? No shade, i forget this is an option all the time too.

Idk how you lose all those tanks for that

Remember Chafee is good against tanks but not humans, you should find their tank units and use seek and destroy abilities and rush in their tanks.

Why no one is building playing with the archer bg it would be so helpful vs all these tanks

49：40可惜選錯邊勝利點😅

I don't like tank usa much because so weak but more speeds
