Osttruppen suck? Not in 1v1 and 2v2

Osttruppen are probably a pretty good choice vs. quad rushes because they can be everywhere and don't bleed easily. WOould be interesting to try out.

whenever i use them they fail at everything.

for 200MP you can't have them everywhere, they are not much cheaper compared to grenadiers. grenadiers scale much better and don't become your cannonfodder and panzerfaust slaves after some time as said on the other post.

maybe if their panzerfaust wouldn't require t1 then they would be a little bit more useful against that. even then: you have no chance against the support weapon spam meta without a mortar or sniper unless your enemy is a slowpoke or noob.

no offense or anything just my experience using those scrubs in my games.

All true points, but think of Osttruppen more as support units for your mgs than as mainline infantry. An Osttruppen crewed MG42 never dies when by a halftrack

They also are less likely to be wiped when fausting tanks, and are almost immune to snipers.

Its all personal preference, but don't count them out just yet! Especially since mobile defense will be a very popular commander in this patch IMO.

I have no idea why it was buffed in the first place, it is not like it was terrible pre-patch.

This unit is not any better than american AA truck or okw AA truck. Just cheaper, comes later and takes time to upgrade.

"panzershrek is useless against that" Panzershrek is also useless against american aa truck, 0 from 10 my aa trucks was killed by panzershrek.

I knew the old t-70 would return in the form of the Quad.

The main issue with the M5 quad isnt just the fact that it comes too early (6:30 if you rush it out)...

BUT it has the capability to kill squads that are retreating and is alot cheaper than other HT's at the level it performs at.


Imo it needs a fuel increase to 45/50 if its going to retain its current stats. If not then it needs a dps/suppression nerf. OR a set up time (so it cant run down squads in the first 7 mins).
