Countering Industry
Posts: 1163
Personally having used Industry a bit, it's really weak early game (first couple mins), unless you hold fire choosing doctrine to get 2 engies and a sniper out faster, this then delays any '4 min T70'.
If anyone builds a 4 min T70, then the German totally failed to take their fuel off their engies..
A good counter strat is assault grens, because you can pop one right away and send it to see off their engies before they can cap fuel or munis. You can push them off the field before they can afford flamers. Then get 1-2 grens for fausts on M3s.
Now, T70 is not far away, get shrek half track and try to ambush 1st one. Quickly have engie on hand to repair it afterwards.
Soviet can be really struggling to get hold of a fuel now, which quite blunts their armour output.
Teck the T3 asap and get a P4, done right, it will defeat T 34 before they have 2.
No flaming please, constructive arguments.

Industry for soviets and Elite for Germans are really OP. In this moment the game is unplayable cause of that. So don't waste your time trying to find a counter to something that cannot be countered (if the other player is not a totally noob).
You made your first ever comment saying EXACTLY what he asked everyone not to say. MVGame sir. MVGame.

Permanently BannedI thought he will go industry so, with all my forces went immediatly to the chokepoints, had all the fuel, even killed his first two t70es and he got another 2 from nothing( i had the whole map).
second time: i let him the fuel, i tried to play smart, made 3 gren, and go 2x pggren( ammo went only for shreks) then 1x halftrack and had 2/3 map when first t70 come out. Choosed defensive doctrine. Make lots of tank traps.
I win the first engagements too, however i had to mind something else so he killed my HT with 2 shrek pggren when i wasnot at keyboard, and this is how he won the game. Notm ention i had 4 CP,+ could have make panther or even pak43.
So guess, this is the strat you are looking for( btw he had one fuel the whole time).

My opponent wasn't the best, given that he'd lost two(?) squads charging the P4 command tank trying to take it out. Still, the map was Kholodony Winter and I was on the right side (no munition control for most of the game). If the map had more munitions I'd have had an easier time saving for Pshrecks.

Even 4 grens sent straight to their territory with all ammo used for fausts can keep them off muni (to prevent flamers), then fuel. Fuel cache, skip T2 and get a fast P4. Propper pressure will mean its 1 on 1 with P4 and T34... Plus your telling them to stop making T70s.
Would work ok with bought vet for P4 and p4 bulletins to own 1st T34's.
And yes a 250 HT with shreks can deal with T70 with good micro, use true sight, ambush them. Have your pios on hand to repair it, and bonus is you can take the PGs out while it repairs.

5 minutes T70 followed by 3 T34s, I thought fuck this since I was so much behind in tech and decided to just spam Paks. I managed to kill everything he threw at me with just PaKs, grens and tellers.

What about Osttruppen? Total map dominance vs few conscripts and plenty of fausts to immobilize T70s for your paks
So i need to buy the commander to counter this bullshit? Not spending any more dime on this game!

I wonder if then going T4 for the Panther would be an option. It could also work with normal Grenadiers instead of Osttruppen. This is mainly theoretical, though... haven't played much yet after that patch.
One thing that may be a problem is that reading this commander is rather hard. You won't know for sure if he went Industry or is just running around somewhere else until you meet the first tanks. I really hope they go through with that display of the chosen commander that we saw swiftly in the stream.

If you see cons and he ends up using it, concentrate on draining those cons. Reinforcing large squads is a bitch with industry.

It is kind of like Elite infantry in that the early game will suffer. That is when you need to take advantage.
Why would the early game of elite inf suffer? The way I would use it would not be to get grens. The only inf I would possibly vet would be shrek PGs. But more likely I'd just use it on p4's
You wouldn't even need to pick the doctrine until you had a p4, or wanted g43 at 2 CPs.
Especially with G43, I think grens will vet fine on their own. It's the crushing power of vet p4's you want.
