Also, sorry for my immaturity in chat. Got a little frustrated, which shows at the end of the match when I completely waste my T34-85s.

I suppose the one thing you can do it rush the base after it has fired and dropping an IL-2 bombstrike on the damn thing while it is reloading. Just make sure you don't hit it with anything else. The crew will die, giving your enemy time to re-crew it and drive away from the bombstrike.

Something really, really, really needs to be done about this unit. Units that can squad wipe with a single shot are horrible. There's a huge ISU-152 thread for a reason

So in all seriousness, there was nothing I could have done?
TBH, it's quite hard to get enough fuel to afford a sturmtiger. I haven't watched the replay, but my bet that was his only (or 2nd) vehicle. I would just mass tanks since his only anti tank weapons will be rakketen or panzerschreck upgrade. It's hard, but you cannot play by trying to barrage or shoot him at range or defend - the sturmtiger excels in breaking up those tactics.

If only I had chosen a commander with a bombing strike But yeah, that makes sense.

ISU152> Can fire from long range, every 10s aprox > wipes
Sturmtiger> Can fire from shorter range, every 1min aprox > wipes. Faction = OKW
I think is justified

On topic: Maybe going cheesy no-tech T34/85s is the answer. I don't think they get one-shotted by the sturmtiger. Soviet T3/4 is pretty weak-sauce anyway so you might as well abuse the call-in system and get some more tanks that are actually worth it.

Often I find....not always the Sturm misses all together the intended targets and hit a tiny tree. It can often decimate it's own team by accident. Then it's a complete waste for a good 90 seconds is it?
Perhaps go IS2 next time. ISU if you want to be brave and try to hold out. Chances are they will win by VP from elite infantry though. OKW can win on VP really fast.

The ISU152 wipes a lot, but every 10s is nonsense. And most importantly, an ISU-152 will never one shot a P4/T34. A Sturm Tiger however does it with ease. Also, a Sturm Tiger is a lot cheaper. But that's not my point. My point is that both units are ridicilous, and no unit should be able to squad wipe in a single shot.

My T34-85s got one shotted as well actually. The fact that I lost them was totally my fault there, but I'm not sure if it's the best way to go. I really needed something like SUs. But I already teched to T3, so it was way too expensive to go T4 at that point. Also, had I waited for T34-85s, I wouldn't have had a decent counter against the Obersoldaten and Fallschirmjagers.

The crazy thing is he was winning the battles but you still had map control when you quit. I'm sure that it would have just dragged out and you'd have lost anyways but had you hung back and maybe saved for 4 t34/85 you may have stood more of a chance. You were really aggressive. But you are a good player and you learn from it.

2-When he goes back to reload, find it.
3-Destroy it with tanks and run back to safety.
