Why do OKW players blob so much? I really hate seeing it when I play ost 2v2 and the OKW guy does nothing but blob. Had to insistently tell him to get a rak for the map was good for it (Lierneux) then later had to tell him again to get a Stuka instead of spamming infantry (for the opposing team was playing maxim-in-the-building)

I get the lots of infantry options and mp float; I do. But why for the love of Clausewitz must they all attack along one axis all at one time and that too headlong into a maxim!? I mean maxim does AoE suppression too now (finally!)

How to help fix blobs versus OKW:
- Kubel to doctrines
- MG34 to HQ with cost increased to 240 and gets it's old damage back and a vet 1 ability that drastically increases ROF at the cost of not firing for a few seconds after the ability is done
- Flaktrack health increased to 400
- Volks get a buff similar to Ostruppen when in cover allowing them to push away blobs attacking defensive positions.
- AI upgrade package you can take instead of the shrek that equips Volks with StG's that do more damage at mid range instead of short.

I would need to see your playercard, you might be just getting matched with bad players

.50 doesn't counter blob reliably, I have see too many squads (not even blobbing) entering its cone of fire and only being suppressed after 2 bursts.
Too late, grenade, dead .50 squad.

50 cal crew is too weak, single grens grenade wipes it, obers or vetted volks killing it before it fires.
Buffed Maxim disagrees. .50 Cal also disagrees it just hasn't shown up yet.

I could love to trade kubel with MG34, I had way too many kubel drifting during first engagement, its side armor is too paper so everytime it happens it is a dead kubel. right now the only thing i could counter blob is my stuka, and pray that enemy will fall back to my stuka barrage, because i always barrage behind them.

Nope, mg42 crew and mg34 crew seems much more survivable. I think it is because allies have no rifle nades and lmgs which can kill with single shot.
Again, this is a problem with all 4 man MG's. Received Accuracy is a bad idea on MG's in the current meta.

Ehm nope, axis have lot of arty too. If we compare soviet plane strike and arty strikes with OST planes and arty strikes. We will see that OST have more amount good abilities then soviets. About smoke, only rifles have smoke nades and shocks, because without smoke they are useless against mgs. Also, of course axis need to controls thier mgs, but we are talking about crew survivability and 50 cal is worse in this way then mg42 or mg34 crew.
Allied infantry have smoke nades and lots of artillery. Axis still have to micro their MGs for them to survive, you can't just set up a MG42 one direction and leave it there for the whole game.

those crew member do get wipes from single nades some times, it is easy for USF nade to pick off 3 out 4 models of HMG 34, HMG42 some how is better survivable but not much better, especially when they are in yellow cover, because models are hugging each other in yellow cover. German HMG in yellow cover + nade wipe like 60% of the time

Mg on yellow cover without micro = bad
You are better been on the open if no green cover available.

OKW has some of the most expensive and least effective arty in the game. Ost has some good plane strikes, but they are expensive for a Munitions starved faction(sans CAS).
Soviets have the best mortar in the game and the 2 best Howitzers. USF has the only mobile Howitzer, and some of the most powerful artillery strikes in the game.
All of this is getting off-topic though. Soviets deal with blobs with Maxim supported by ML20, B4, 120mm mortar, or 82mm Mortar. Drop that shit right on those Volk/Ober/Fusilier blobs and watch the MP bleed. USF 50cal can slow them down and allow your LMG/Bar/FT Riflemen to lay the hurt on them. In addition the Mortar HT isn't incredible, but isn't not too bad either, getting one can help out.
Both Allied factions also have access to Demo Charges, which Axis do not. Just learn to bait and PUSH THAT PLUNGER!
