Ostheer versus Rifle Company Commander
Posts: 951
Am having a 1 v 1 problem with the American veteran infantry.
I'm typically using three rifles into an MG and then a scout car, but man those two-star inf with BARs start coming in and then flamers then 'nades...
By this point I had three volks, 1 pzgren, 2 mgs and a SC. A balanced army, I thought, into T3 preparing for the Easy Eights.
All he built was infantry with BARs, flames and nades. MGs in buildings were no problem, suppression is an issue.
Any ideas, L2P issues aside? Are snipers a good idea versus inf heavy US? Maybe I spread myself too thinly (I had good map control very early).

If Ostheer, get Assgren, it is the only doctrine working vs USF. Everything in this doctrine > USF.
DON'T get 222, anything from T3 or above, they just suck vs USF.
Assgren win Rifles 1on1. Get some Grens friends for them and give them LMG42, without M1919 Rifles just a joke to those Grens.
PG@250 / StugE rape Rifle.
Pak rape every USF armour.
Tiger > everything USF can offer.
If OKW, get Fortification. Spam them a crapload of MG34 to an amount those Rifles cannot breakthrough, then prepare multiple Rakenten / Puma / JPIV ambushing the E8s.
Or just go Scavenge, do whatever you like, stall until 400 muni, kamikaze into USF base, drop arty, GG.

I suggest you don't go T3 for P4/StuG against E8. You're better off with Panzerfaust and Pak combo. If you're lucky you might be able to steal one of the E8 and turn it against them.
If I were you I would just stall the enemy's advance for a tiger.

Don't tech, pick a doctrine with Tiger. Current meta usually punishes you for not relying on call ins. Sad but true.

Snipers are a rather effective way to deal with vetted rifles. 221s are kind of a waste of resources because all the vetted rifles have AT nades at a longish range. Mgs, sniper, lmg grens in cover, ect. one good doc of choice vs rifle company is the mobile defense commander. between the paks and the puma target weak point ability the easy 8s just get stun locked in front of a pak and chased down by a puma pretty easily. P4 command tank is also really effective vs vet rifle mans, plus it gives you a defensive bonus

Snipers are indeed a good way to counter Rifles, but have fun with the M20/M15 then, because Ostheer T2 already comes late than the Lt tech, getting sniper would even more delaying your Pak.If the American player is competent then it would be a problem. If the guy is one to go full power when reversing straight to you, then the triple fist(faust) (sounds like a kung fu move ) will work.

Jackson is indeed a problem, but thats what Paks are for. You need them against E8 anyways - the problem here is the WP.

It has a quite big area and comes down fast, usually too fast to let your MG42 pack up and move out of the area without losing a lot of health.

I think if you a rather aggressive with your sniper you can easily cause the USF player to have severe manpower restrains when they are purchasing their M20 or AAHT. They will have to either delay the vehicle to reinforce the riflemen or purchase the vehicle with less infantry support. If you sit back with your sniper early, you were better off gren spamming.
Rifle Company is the only doctrine that allows USF to constantly maintain a snowball effect. The majority of the other doctrines fall gren spam with LMG and veterancy preservation.

You can also just build 1 mg early just to win some early fights, using LMG 42 grens is more effective b/c they beat destroy bar rifles.
If you wanna be cheesy you can build nothing but stug es and paks then a tiger to beat his ez 8s later
snipers are very very good but lmg 42 grens may be better as they are less risky and do crazy damage anyways
