Common mistakes that cost stars in TB?

Laz

Is there something that a guild could do to squeeze out 1 or 2 more stars in terms of avoiding CMs and just deploying, or not filling any platoons at all in certain areas where they can’t get completed? Or does every deployment count as the same?

The only thing that comes to mind is Hailfire Tank platoon you fill in P3. We sacrificed good characters for it and it was utterly useless in P4, may be even harmful. Not sure if we lost a full star because of it, but we definitely lost points.

Deploying all 15 HT in platoons likely cost us 3* in P4 fleet. 2.5M per fleet win is big

Deployment is counted all the same, whether it is from platoons, CMs or direct deployment.

One of the best ways you can squeeze in more stars without considerably developing the rosters of your guild is to not fill platoons that don't seem to benefit you.
For example, if you realised that you can't get any stars in P4 middle zone, the, don't waste DRs for P3 middle platoon and try to get a higher score with the saved up DRs in P3 CMs.
