Hello all, I am wondering in what circumstances should I choose the Counterattack tactics commander? I mainly play 4v4 team games. Will I be gimped lategame without an ISU/IS2?


I mainly use

1. Mechanized Support for the ISU
2. Shock Rifle for Shocks and IS2


Thanks

Nope if your mates get out the Isus/Is-2s you can nuke the enemy Jagdtiger/Eles to death with the B4

B4 is incredibly strong against the OKW with their trucks adn heavy tanks. Very rewarding against blobs on retreat hitting their medic truck :D
it can work on basically any map but on steppes i prefer mobility over firepower

It's very good and useful in almost any situation.

I use this commander when I feel the need to "carry" week teammates. My favorite strategy is to combine T2 with T4 and do my best to hold territory. The downside is you lack a main battle tank until the KV1. Couple cons, 2-3 maxims, at gun, maybe mortar, 1-2 shocks, su85, kat, kv1, its a strong combination that can very effectively support your teammates.

The B4 is risky is there is a player with stuka dive bomb. Generally you can put it far enough back to avoid walking stuka barrages, so dive bomb is the biggest issue. If there is a dive bomb, and the player has half a brain, its pretty much wasted manpower.
