OKW death blob
Posts: 105
It seems like the only thing the Soviets can do is just really cheesy tactics like multi snipers or fast flaming clown car with mines or slow down the blobs with a lucky Katyusha hit.
Anyone with any suggestions?

If you are OK with less mobility then multiple maxim teams can shut down blobs. Just watch out for a stuka if you go this rout.
Also, as Mr. Someguy stated the ISU-152 is quite effective vs blobs as is the IS2.
Lastly, demo charges are invaluable against blobs. Build them on retreat paths, cover, or attack routs you expect the blob to take and enjoy.

Maxim spam, Mass snipers, or shock blobs. Pretty much all the things the german players complain about. If you try to rely on cons or penals you'll just get run over.
This.
Also use call-in tanks.

T-34/85sI've tried the flamethrower penals. It works to counter the sturm pios, but once the obers and other long range infantry start coming out, they die before they can make the approach. After that they are just as useless as the cons.

lol @ flamethrowers on Penals. They get instantly melted before they get one burst of flames out.

KV8 is great and all but it comes out pretty late and you are pouring a lot of fuel praying they don't have a panther or jadg. That combined with all there other AT makes it a risky option. And it doesn't melt infantry like it used to.Cheese strats! Any sort of balanced play will get overpowered by overperformance of long range units.

What's wrong with penal flamers? Rifle flamers are also pretty good if they are used correctly. You should have maxims, too BTW..............:-DObers, falls, and upgraded fusaliers will destroy them before they even get to fire the flamer once. Long range weapons are extremely potent and OKW has no lack of them once the midgame arrives.

If you can't get an ISU 152 late game, this is generally what happens:

This.
If you choose sniper spam try to pick a commander with Guards. Maxim spam is better with Shocks.
And try to stay alive till you can afford an ISU-152.
