Im have been getting destroyed by US going with the Mechanized Doctrine and opening with the WC51 Military Truck w. .50 cal HMG ,....its freakin stupid...

With a Rifleman squad inside it can easily chase down and finish a full health Volks or Sturm squad....

Wtf is this shit??? anybody else getting hit by this...anybody has any solutions?

A fast rakentenwerfer, as a 3rd or 4th unit, usually do fine for me against jeep or m3a1. People don't like to build them early, but it's much faster than waiting for 90 mun panzershrek or a fast puma. The ennemy usually don't expect the raketen early game, use that to your advantage.
You can always get a second sturmpio if you feel overwhelmed by infantry. Or a kubel once the WC51 is dead.

To add to what axel410 said, since most US players are very aggressive with their WC51s, well-placed S-mines can be very effective (will usually 1-hit them).

Another potential solution is a fast Flak HT: cheaper than a Puma, but will still kill WC51s very easily when setup.

Also, Volksgrenadier hand grenades actually do a lot of damage to them, as well as to the unit inside. If the US player drives his truck right up to your units and keeps it stationary, they usually won't expect a grenade to wreck it.

More generally, remember that that the US player is spending 20 Fuel on each truck. It's strong for that reason, but is also a significant investment that will delay his tech. You can use this to your advantage.

Use building for cover and get a flank with sturn pios as their small arms fire does good damage. As I see it the mech doctrine is only good in some situations and on open mapswith minimal buildings on it.

WC51 sucks compared to Soviet's M3 halftrack. It needs a health buff IMO

Thx guys...Ive had better success ...using a combination of what you suggested.

Mainly If I see this ill keep my sturm squad protected by keeping close to another Volks, and ill make sure I keep the munis point secure so I can get Shreck asap. Does the work.

I rather not get the Raketen so early, specially vs US, because of early game engagements.

err....no. It doesn't.

The M3 doesn't come packed with a rifleman squad. Thats the problem. The only way to fight off Rifleman early game is to stay at longer ranges with Volks. This damn truck negates that, plus it comes much earlier. Its fine the way it is.

aaaand they nerfed the Truck...I knew it was OP so early in game..

From patch notes :

Dodge WC51
Our intent was to delay the dispatch of this unit in an effort to provide the opposing player more time to prepare for light armor.

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
Last Thursday, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
