last 10 or so games i have used this thing i am really liking this beast so much that i skip panther in 2v2s.

here are some of things i have learnt please feel free to add more tactics

1) Prioritze AT guns / mortars / HMG instead of infy blob as they are much easier to wipe
2) Always shift queue the retreat after selecting fire
3) always distract with any other unit and bring this beast as a surprize from behind
4) never flank with this unit as side/rear armor hits might decrew it
5) once revealed always use strum pio mine sweepers to sweep first before your next charge.
6) against infy concentrations if they are supressed fire behind them as they will most like retreat at the sight of this and u will have a better chance of hitting them.
7) always have 2 raketns/some AT covering this things retreat as there tanks will charge in after you fire.

please suggest a good doctrine for this unit i am addicted to fortifications as i love Smine + HMG combo and PAKs. the only bane for me right now is a B4.

in 2v2 scavenger is better for Strum tiger as ostwind will detter mark target and p47s...

i lost a strumtiger to mark target + p47 callin combo without mark target strum tiger has enough armor to take the beating fire and retreat.

if you're having trouble with B4, go spec ops for flares and make sure your partner has a doctrine with some off map that can destroy it.

also you can often just intimidate blobs into retreating without actually firing. for example aim and actually press fire towards the blob, doesn't matter if aim is a tiny bit off and watch them retreat. then halt fire before it fires unless it will actually hit them right on.

yup i do that every time dint mention it so relic wont remove it like they did for the infil grenades :) hope they dont as this thing takes some time to reload its only fair to allow for a cancel of fire command.

Another thing about the Sturmtiger: you can shoot it through obstacles like hedgerows and destroyed buildings now. Very useful for sneaky ambushes.

EDIT: pretty sure the Mark Target plane is purely superficial. ie if you shoot it down, the effect does not go away.

Yeah noticed that but at least if you take it down they wont have a constant vision.

i haven't tried firing from shotblockers will try but i usually fire from maximum range so they wont have vision of ST, ill keep screening volks squad in front.

It does one shot Su85, T34s, and will bring IS2 to 10% health.

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
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 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.
27 Mar 2025, 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.
27 Mar 2025, 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.
