Automatch Volks Spamming

A strategy I'm starting to see people use now when I play 2v2 Automatch with friends is making squad after squad of Volksgrenadiers. It's surprisingly effective but it's severely annoying to fight. Especially since the person on the enemy team was using 2 of the same bulletin which granted Volks 10% Less Supression and they steamrolled everything I had long enough to crank out multiple Panzer IVs. You guys have any thoughts on this?

Volks are crap so i cant believe it could be that effective, especially that almost every infantry in this game is superior to volks.

Mgs, AA HT will do the work.

Like most inf.spam-blobs - if it reaches a critical mass it will eat aa-ht and mgs.

The funny thing is both my friend and I went Guard Rifles too but it didn't seem to pan out too well. This guy had 2 bulletins that granted 10% Less Supression on Volks and that adds up to 20% so that being applied to 6 squads they would just walk past my MGs once they had a little veterancy going.

You're right. A blob is like 4-6 squads and that's what was sent at me, but with a demo charge it would've probably broken them apart enough for my support units to be effective.

Flamethrowers. The more, the better. In a 2v2 one of you can safely go T1 for penal battalions. Penals give you extra survivability (6 mans > 4 mans) and flamers that don't explode. If you are good about using Merge then you can avoid retreating your flamers too often. Works best against noobs who A-move multiple squads around the map in a big clump, as flamethrowers do AoE damage.
