I wouldn't call 3 Osttruppen spam.

Apfelsaft build 2 Osttruppen into munitions cache, which means two things:

1. The fastest flame ht you can ever imagine. Guards don't come out fast enough, so the soviet player is forced to go AT nades with AT guns. You win or loose with the success of the flame ht, because...

2. ...you don't have the infantry to cap the whole map, or at least prevent the enemy from getting fuel -> this eventually led to the t70 in this game.

This is of course only my opinion, but i think going for 7-8 Osttruppen into flame ht without an munitions cache is more potent. By the time you have 7 Osttruppen you will have the munitions for it anyways, and the enemy has 3 Conscripts on the field.

I uploaded a similar replay -on the same map- earlier today, please watch it and give any insight if you like.

P.S.: Brummbär is such a vanity unit

T4 was just fail, thought schrecks would work until i get a Brum out, why Brum?
Just talked to a mate before and he told me it can take out T34s which makes it more efficient than a panther.. Thought i could try it out, failed hard ;D
Still workin on my ostheer, can't really get into it...
