hey this was a fun one, gg to you Art :)

Side note I am looking for some feedback on better ways to beat early conscript heavy builds... once the spam begins its either a t70 or saving for an is2. I bought a third MG which I normally don't do but the damn blizzards every 3 minutes make it hard to keep good fields of fire everywhere at once, so the MGs tend to get overrun. Maybe on a summer map this would be more viable.

I'm trying to decide if i'd be better served by emphasizing tier 1 more with mortars/mgs/gren LMGs or trying to rush to p4s and avoid anti-tank nades.

Munitions were a big problem for me in this game. I've started trying strafing runs lately, yeah theyre a bit imba but a script heavy build is just begging to be strafed lol

Bunkers and wire are great against Conscripts for locking down parts of the map or key sectors.

The major problem was you didn't use your HMGs to support one another so they were constantly overrun by flanking Conscripts. You should have just concentrated all of your units to hold a single part of the map (like the center munitions plus the north fuel) until you hit Tier 3 for an Ostwind. Also, the Halftrack with Flame Projectors is fantastic if supported, but you lost it trying to take on multiple Conscript squads solo. As Germans you simply can't try to contest the whole map especially against so many Conscript squads.

The IS-2 was honestly underwhelming as usual, the Conscripts and a bunch of stolen HMGs/Mortars/Paks were more significant.

wire is an interesting idea, its certainly underused. I really think on summer kholdony ferma the result would have been different. The blizzards lowering LOS and the removal of munitions other than the center really hampered my play. The bunkers would eat a lot of mgs too but Ill give them a shot sparingly
