Hello CoHmmunity 2.0,

It's been a while and I just wanted to ask you guys a few Q's:

1) Is the tank hunter commander a viable choice in 2v2?

2) What are the best counters to KT's/panther blobs?

I recall playing using t35/85s in 1v1, not so sure about 2v2..
Mass SU-85 to counter.
Mass AT guns worthwhile if low on fuel?

3) Best way to utilize conscripts ? Those little AT nades just are not enough...

Thanks. =)

I'm kinda in the same boat, so don't really have an answer... sorry.

The tricky part for me is finding a good balance. Like for example, I was playing a 3v3 game last night where the enemy had 3 King Tigers and loads of lighter armor. I built an ISU and a mix of ZiS and SU-85s for support. This worked well enough against their tanks, but then the blobs showed up and I was helpless.

As a side note, if you have identified that an OKW player is using the newest commander, I'd advise against using AT Guns, or at least keep them spread out and well supported. Those mobile Demo Packs are devastating against support weapons.

Honestly not sure what to do against OKW's new armor capabilities...

As said above; "Mines win games"!

Su-85s are great, especially when they get vet 2.

I usually use my cons to snare the heavies. Usually if you bait the OKW player enough you'll eventually manage to sneak one behind their KT and crit its engine. It can be really hard against a competent player but its not impossible.

After the patch Zansibar and I have had great success with conscript heavy starts (4-6 squads) with AT-nades + Molos only. Swarm the map with cons and prompt the OKW player to rush out a luchs. Strat relies on Defensive tactics (57mm ATG) and Lend lease tho, which can either screw you over big time; if you fail early-game or win games if you maintain the pressure, atleast thats my experince.

M4C sherman swarm + cons horde, backed up by your mate with Su-85s and Katyy's usually ends with quite hillarious reactions from the OKW player!

SU-76s spam can handle a lot as-well.

A pair of SU-85's with a supporting SU-152 is awesome.

Leave your ISU-152 in HE shells, that way you can crew shock enemy tanks and let your SU-85's finish the job.
