Maxims against OKW.

Jump back to quoted post8 Jul 2014, 09:53 AMwehrwolfzug

Your tactics are sound. The first match I tested the okw with on launch I actually did this build. I read what the infrared half track was. Right away I was like wow this is a cool unit for auto aim and fire artillery such as the field gun. So then I build a few guns and laughed my ass off. You don't even have to tell your guns to shoot enemy squads. It will do it all for you.

It is a very pleasant way to play with the OKW. You simply need to do this build and run around with spios and at volks mopping up the rest. Although a great build it does pigeon hole you into one build to stop maxim spam. Hence why the rifle grenade via doctrine or tech would be a nice addition. Although it needs to be removed from the OST core abilities to be fair.

Problem is by the time you get an infrared truck and a couple of field guns, the soviets and USF will already have proper tanks and more infantry.

I'm pretty sure soviets can't have tanks at 8 min.

There is one thing most people forget about when playing against heavy Soviet weapon team build.
You can salvage EVERY one of them (!) which means you will be floating fuel provided you do reasonably well. Infantry support gun will help with this allowing you to snowball out of control (fuel + munition wise). Do recommend.
Also salvaging prevents SU player from re crewing it again.

I always laugh when I see this thread after yet another loss to maxim spam, Soviet apparatchiks saying the Stuka is a counter, that the infared half track is a counter, that the infantry gun is a counter. It's hilarious.

By the time all of these theory-crafted counters hit the field the damage is done and the map is locked down. They have the fuel, they have the doctrine infantry and they're well on their way to getting the first tank and I have nothing but a puny 270 mp panzershreck. Maxim Spam is a serious problem for OKW and there is nothing that OKW can seriously do about it.

Last game I swear I got fuel required for Panther from 0 up to 175 in like 2 minutes

It was a crazy long game that ended with victory points being down to 22-0 (we won but veeeery close) but I was able to field 2 Panthers, 4 PzIV J from Elite doctrine, and 22 PzII. Crazy

ISG works just fine. Its a stupid and cheesy strat thats effective but not by any stretch unbeatable.

3 Kills in the last game and 7 in the game before that. If the maxim stays outside a building the infantry gun is nothing but a waste of manpower.

Same here. Infantry Support Gun for the win.
No doubt it's gonna be called OP soon.

On your replay you had close to 40 kills. Pretty good for a passive unit i would say. GG btw.
