Lemon's 2v2 USF

I like this, although I'm wondering why you don't think a m20 for mines is a good call? I think delaying lmgs (or just putting 1 on each rifleman) is worth it if you can lay a couple m20 mines and use it defensively to counter-harass / help flank mgs, especially because the smoke gives it so survivable.

Also, a side-note, but your voice really comes out in your writing.

Thank you Lemon, I have tried out this strategy in Random and so far it has been very effective

Why no Airborne? If you don't have any pathfinders, do you do anything to scout before attacking? I'm probably not playing the way that I should but it seems like I bleed a lot more mp when I don't have something that gives me greater vision. I could get a scout car but they rarely seem to pay for themselves and their mines are expensive for something that is more likely to be found by someone's mine detector than their armor.

So if you go rifle company would you still prioritise getting Jacksons out and not bother with EZ8s?

playing airborne company is still viable i think, but the strategy is a little different than this one because you want to take advantage of pathfinders and paratroopers too. for scouting purposes u can use major recon, and u can also probe around with rear echelons.



yes. i get rifle company for everything except the ez8

Depends, I try not to go over 4 kinds of rifle infantry. I usually do a 3 rifle start, and a pathfinder. I get 2 paratroopers, but I also suicide a rifle squad usually so I can afford the upkeep, so in the end I have 5 rifle infantry in addition to officers and support weapons. Over the course of the game though I typically lose another rifle.

Alternatively u can do the bar finder build and go like 3 rifle into 2 or 3 Pathfinders with bars

Thanks, by the way, do you still use P47's? I've tried them two or three times in the last couple of days and they didn't do anything. In one game last night, I tried to finish a KT with them two times and all the person did was drive the KT back into his base. P47's seem much worse than Stuka loiter now.

p47 behavior is unchanged other than the fact it's radius was nerfed a bit last patch. It's still very good and once of the best ways to deter and destroy axis vehicles.

If the ost sniper is killing you, you need to use the map to your advantage to fight against him. Hide behind shot blockers so the sniper can't continually bleed you. Try to get a Stuart out to hunt the sniper down. Just don't continuously send your men into the open to get sniped. Fight intelligently
