Nonsense. You talk as if the IG18 will hit with every shot that is just bullocks. just like the mortar the support gun is useful in displacing and weakening mg's and enemy mortars but do not expect it to kill a well microed mg.

automatic weapons greatly benefit from vehicle size allowing all their shots to hit so no idea where that comes from.

And FSJ are doctrine dependant and its utter bullocks to even suggest as a counter and second not every map has building. also its a one time affair. now stop posting your just embarrassing yourself.


Well ISG hits 99% of the time and if you have a Sturm officer nearby it will never stop shooting. It will shoot as fast as a zis shoots its barrages.

I wonder how you are a platinum player if you can't even beat maxim spam...

It's pure QQ and whining. We give you whiners some ideas to try out and you categorically deny them, as if you don't want a solution and enjoy complaining in the forums.

This thread is going nowhere.


as others have said, the OKW support gun comes out a little too late for it to make too much of a difference. i dont deny its usefulness, its really strong and i get one every game. but by the time i get one out ive ceded most of the map because my infantry cant maneuver around 4+ maxims. this is especially bad in kholodny ferma.
infantry flanks arent reliable because you wont know if the enemy has another maxim backing the first. if you try to flank and there is a maxim, then youre forced to retreat and cede more territory.

Being a former platinum (which is hardly the elite league ) SC2 player i laugh if you call that micro. also that very tiny nerf didnt do anything for flanking


Platinum need only A move, micro is only required when you are in Master league.

Even Diamond, you just need to remember a BO, execute it perfectly, A move and you can win.

Ever heard of the Kubelwagon? It's beastly if properly microed and the maxim does less dmg to it than conscripts.



... Now I can't take you serious anymore.

@Arclyte
Can you link your player card to your account? I see you around the forums recently, constantly badgering the German factions, and I want to see how much play experience you really have. I find it hard to take people seriously who don't even bother to attach a player card and have a really low post count.

Video should be uploaded soon. In the meantime, here's a game I just played.




Greatshowcase of capping around your opponents defensive positions, utilizing the flak halftrack properly (well not the first one I built...) and using a puma to scout t3 and force him to recall his units to his base.

Thanks, I am surprised you have played mainly as Axis, since you seem very pro-Allies on the forums.

I haven't played a lot of 1v1 or 2v2, but when I did it was against Soviets and they almost always led with Maxim spam that I just couldn't beat as the OKW. I try to flank and there is another one, I build the ISG and it misses every other shot and those that hit don't even kill a single model. The ISG is a really RNG-based gun and not a "reliable" counter to Maxim Spams.

It really isn't that accurate from my experience. Maybe more accurate than Wehrmacht mortar, but that is hardly an accomplishment and after all it costs as much as two.

Regardless, the tactics I use are applicable to any map.

Funny thing is T2 + call-ins beated Barton, if I remember correctly (he was with OKW).

So yeah, even a no-brainer can easly own a good OKW player with any faction, same applies to USF vs Ostheer.

so you are saying the replay Dullahan beat Harrison2124 by pure luck? He didn't out micro his sub-par opponent?

OKW is rng dependent against Maxim spam. At least as Wermaht I can go snipers but as OKW ISG won't be able to clear them fast enough.

Maxim, maxim, maxim, maxim, ZiS, Maxim into call ins GG. Last game there was no single Conscript squad used and I still lost it. Go into the building and laugh.
Stuka 1,5 min reload, ISG is like a mortar + it takes some time to clear the building, Puma doesn't kill them fast enough.

I'll watch the replay ASAP, but what I said is about how the OKW has problem vs maxims, ISG is way too RNG.

Oz, + 1, same happened to me last week.
