Going T3 against rifle company is pretty pointless at the moment as you have to invest a lot in tech (while he just calls-in his armor without needing to tech past captain) just to have tanks that don't really do well against EZ 8s.

Wait 4 more days until the patch. And if you want to play ostheer in the mean-time, use the Mechanized Assault doctrine.

You have to be joking, I would rather go against rifle company than infantry or airborne. Also t3 can be useful vs ez8 eg stugs duh

Also easy 8 unlike normal Sherman doesn't just lottery wipe paks unless you did something very wrong, or stood in phosphorus too long.

The following build order worked for me:
Sniper
Grenadier
Grenadier
MG42
Battle Phase 1 -> T2
221 -> 222 if have already seen M20 (usually at 4th to 5th minute mark)
OR PaK40 if you have not seen M20 in this period or if you see Captain
Grenadier
Then I chose Mobile Defence Doctrine and called in a Puma and afterwards Command PIV. Thereafter I called in Osttruppen to bolster my infantry forces. Alternatively you can choose CAS (more infantry and PaK40s, eventually StuG G) or Mechanised Assault (StuG G and Tiger).
Be as aggressive as you can with your Sniper to inflict as much manpower bleed as possible to USF since they suffer heavily for every lost Rifleman model. Never advance if your flanks are not covered and be careful about light vehicles once you have spotted Lieutenant or Captain. Teller mines definitely help.

Well microed OST sniper is the bane of USF as the MP bleed really eats at you over time. Just make sure to screen him if they go Lt. because the USF will likely get a M20 to try and hunt him down.

You should play the game very defensively and lock down the area you want to have the pak43 on, early on in the game. The cmd tank helps with infantry in the mid/late game and the pak43 with some proper mining keeps the ez8s away with ease and you can tech for a panther behind the defensive build.

Rifle company completely dominates Ostheer except for when you are using mechanized assault.
You go riflespam with grenades, add flamers, a captain and a stuart and spam EZ8s after that.
You will have spent just 500mp and 100 fuel on tech if you include the ambulance, and you also get a free squad for it.
Meanwhile with Ost you need to spend over 800mp, 60 ammo and what, 150 fuel? To have access to the same stuff, and you don't get a free bonus squad and you end up with P4s that don't do well against EZ8s.
The only way to beat a equal level player who is using rifle company is by skipping tech all together yourself.

Thx, wish I had read this sooner. Just lost second 1v1 in a row to same player who always seems to go Rifle Co with the build order that you wrote.

Depending on the map use the vet ability for vet2 PGs shreaks (on maps where there are alot of shot blockers for pak40), vet1 Stug G (for TWP) and/or vet2 sniper on open maps and late game vet3 flame pios for fast repair of TA.
With TA you have to be very aggressive (to kill AT guns and armor) or the manpower drain will cost you the game. Thats why with TA you need vet2 pios for fast repair, capping and placing mines.
Also mortar smoke to cover TA advance/reteat help save some munitions late game for mines/TWP/blitz. Smoke + attack ground with TA and flame pios to kill AT guns.
With TA TWP + smoke + blitz werh can "snipe" any armor USF have. Snipe one tank with blitz + TWP, retreat with smoke, fast repair with vet3 pios. Rince and repeat until they have no armor left.
Contrary to some popular USF belief, TA is not a "I win" button but is very situational and you have to get the timing right when to call in the TA and when / how to use the vet ability in early, mid or late game.
