How to save K/D rate when you lose?

The Sea is the answer to many questions. You can figure out what I say.

In case you don't, send them to the sea so your enemy gets your provinces first, not your units. If no sea, send them to the last province you think they'll get to and abandon the game as soon as possible so your profile doesn't get affected.

Honestly, I never thought of using the sea, I just kinda painfully watch them die (which is why my kdr is like .75 atm). Imma try to do that next time. Btw, your kdr doesn't get affected on games while you are inactive on them, right?

Seriously? Why bother about K/D? Playing well and possibly winning is all that matters!

Either you move them to sea and they will get deleted as soon as the enemy has taken your last province. Or you can make a last stand where the terrain is most beneficial. For example infantry is a defensive unit that gets a 50% bonus in the cities. So if you defend in a city you will kill way more enemy troops than you will lose and your KD will improve. With a defensive unit you will not counter attack, you don't move, just let the enemy attack you.

I like to use the artillery strategy.

With that, there's the problem of tac bombers and RA. You will have no other choice but to counterattack.

Most players don't use that, depends on how noob his attacker is.

50% of the COW players don't get further than making infantry and tank branch units. Artillery takes too much micro management and you need to come online on a regular basis. Then I'm not even mentioning air and naval units.

I've been using air for quite some time now and the strat bombers are OP for wiping out all the force production cities of the enemy within hours. Arty is also good, but I've still got a lot to improve in using it.

Just be careful not to encounter someone who invested in AAs

Who leaves AA's in core cities though?

My observation is, that RA is a very common unit. Perhaps many players don't use it to its full potential, but it sure is common to see on the battlefield.

So is air. Every noob builds a few air units. Especially the strategic bomber because it has 'an awesome range'

I suppose you have actual stats to back that up?My observation is, that RA is a very common unit. Perhaps many players don't use it to its full potential, but it sure is common to see on the battlefield.

It is my personal experience that a lot of call of war players never have heard about artillery in general.
