Jacob is best known for his amazing Germany tank production and pillbox/turret spam but he is a creative well rounded player who is adapting his game and will only get even stronger with time.
So without further a do here is an interview with the Californian Commando, Jacob:
[answers in bold]
1) Tell us a little about yourself and when did you start playing Red Alert online?
I'm 20 years old from California. I started playing the game back in 2012 on first decade that I got as a gift during christmas. I mainly played Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert 1, and Command and Conquer Generals but I really enjoyed Red Alert 1 the most. I only played the missions and skirmish. Then I discovered cncnet in 2017 which I only played skirmish until 2018 where I started playing some kotg games with bart.
2) Do you play any other games online apart from Red Alert? Or any other interesting hobbies outside of gaming?
I also enjoy playing Warcraft 3 online. I do not really play many online games.
3) What is your favourite map and why?
I would definitely say V3-Ribbon-Isle because of the tank battles and you can use cruisers and turrets very well on the map. I also enjoy Keep off the Grass because of being able to use many tactics on it.
4) What is the most memorable game(s) you ever played?
I would have to say the game that I played with Dutchy vs Faust and Butcher on 4c niklas where I had 10 grenadiers put in transport boats and I quickly sent them into faust's base and naded his power which was a very quick game. I also had many great ladder games I remembered playing vs Bart and Maddux on ladder and also the LCS tourneys were great.
5) Who has been your greatest rival(s) in your time playing online?
I don't really have any rivals but I would have to say that Ford is one of the toughest opponents that I played and I remember losing many games vs him.
6) You chose to represent the NM stable for Clan Wars, what made you choose NM despite offers from the other teams (apart from crush yelling at you not to play for OP lol)?
NM is a great team, good at all maps and which has a lot of good tankers and also hezb who is a really good builder and tanker. I am friends with everyone in NM and also NM is very good at teamwork.
7) What do you consider to be the strongest and weakest parts of your game?
I would definitely say that production and tanking as germany is my strongest and my weakest is building as soviets.
8) Are there any changes you would make to Red Alert or CnCNet?
Not really, but it would be cool if they allowed the game to have more than 8 players in a game.
9) What advice would you give to aspiring players who wish to improve?
Try to always focus on scouting and knowing what your opponent is doing. Also try to always make sure that your side bar is always being used for building and/or training units even when controlling units during battles.
10) Any final comments or shoutouts?
Thanks Crush for the interview, also I would like to say thanks to the creators of cncnet for making a great free client to be able to play Red Alert 1 Online.
Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more!
