Early Game OKW Truck harrassment

So I just played a game in which the OKW player used his heavy truck to run over my early game infantry. At first I thought it was a bit funny, but then I realized that (1) it was *heavily* delaying me and inflicting MP losses, and (2) I wasn't really capable of damaging the the thing in a meaningful way. Does anybody know what the counter to this is?

There are two main counters to this. The first is to play as Axis. The second is to wait until Relic patches the game.

It's a joke. If they don't patch it soon, its going to be a nightmare.

Ah, nightmares of Brits crushing my garrisoned buildings with speed govenors on Rails are coming back to me.

I've somehow managed to counter it a couple of times but the mere fact that it delays capturing points and fighting effectively is such a blow.
It's a sacrifice to do so but OP'ing the first muni's point to get the bazooka to kill the truck is possible. Zook's do almost double damage since the truck isn't set up.

Flamer throwers can damage it as well if you have combat engineers or lucky enough to have the commander for them. Still comes to late though.

Just run away from it. You're going to have 4+ squads on the field anyway as Americans, so just go cap the rest of the map and have one squad distract his truck or something.

I'll get the replay next time someone tries it on me. This is just silly cheese that is pretty straight forward to counter.

You should try to cap the point it's trying to deny you first. Sure you can run away from it and cap the other side of the map, but they're probably driving it around your fuel point or another critical point. Just micro and run around the point long enough to cap it and move on.

Can be worth it if it's a key cut off, but it's better to not lose the manpower if possible.

there is a thread with a 120 post talking about this and Relic did say it is going to patch probably by next week:

Here's that rep I mentioned, although apparently it will be irrelevant soon enough anyway.

SHOUT IT OUT!

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
