Use of Flak Half-Track?
Posts: 4
Also if not the Flak half-track, then can anyone recommend efficient midgame units to use, and how to use them?
Thanks

Anyway the Flak-Track is quite good in suppressing enemy infantry. It's like a more powerful Kubel with a longer range.

Hi, I recently got a flak half-track bulletin in war spoils, and it got me thinking, what is the best way to use the flak half-track, because on paper it seems quite good, but I just can't seem to get the best out of it?
Also if not the Flak half-track, then can anyone recommend efficient midgame units to use, and how to use them?
Thanks
The flak-track is very useful to force an am or soviet player to spend mp and ammo on AT. if the soviet player goes tier 1 he is in trouble as flak tracks make short work of guards in the open and tier 1 has no counters. midgame this unit is used to guard positions.

Also stay far away from terrain undulations, and green cover (see- north Road to Kharkov). It'll shoot the cover and do no damage or suppression (unlike the US halftrack which suppresses using hitscan 50cals).
Other than that, treat it like a super-MG late game when you don't have the freedom to roam around as a shock unit. Suppress and force a retreat, then reposition so when the tanks come calling it'll be safe.

Set it up in areas out of line of sight and will bombard infantry as they run by. Behind buildings, hedges, smoke etc.

This is the one strategy that I've had success with as OKW (but admittedly, I'm not very good).

Kübel ? Why ?
Because it has a sight radius of 50. It can be parked right next to the Flakwagon and see for its 45 range. Plus it stops advancing infantry with AT-grenades and Bazookas (if supported).
Edit: Fun fact: The Puma has also a sight radius of 50 (and shooting range of 50)!
