Full meta maxim spam

That's the thing you can't and that's why Luvnest uses it against OKW, if you survive early game and had good map control you should be good late game and win most of the time

I asked Luvnest for a counter a few weeks ago and he said Stuka. It's bad game design that OKW need so much fuel invested into Stuka just to counter MGs. Imagine if soviet needed katushka just to counter MG42 or MG34.
Seriously, give ISG smoke barrage instead so maxim can get flanked. Same thing vs brits emplacement, smoke + flank which promotes tactical play and counter play. Not even trying to hide in green cover works.

All these over nerf/over buff is just silly. Relic should focus on fixing the core gameplay for the incomplete factions which are primary OKW and brits.

OKW

Demanding tactical play from opponents


If I dare to hold a position for more than 5 minutes in the early game as SU vs OKW, I have a 90% chance of either being ISG spammed or stuka rushed. No crafty flanks. No light armor rush. Infrared HT and indirect fire/offmap spam.

You are a factions of brute force. SU has ONE reliable way to deal with your spam and you complain about the 5 minutes its viable.

maxin spam is counterd just by infantry micro (google word "micro" ) also optional
2. leigs
3. luchs rush

Actually its weak unit. Having more than 2 of them = loss to any normal player.

go for mechanized Truck. Convert to munition and spam flame nades.
that would be my suggestion to maxim spam.

I could see the med bunker being really strong. Get an early flashlight halftrack so you can flank better, maybe feurstorm for sturmpio flamers to rekt him if he's in a garrison. An ISG would be good too. Follow up with a flak halftrack and he has to build an AT gun.

I haven't fought anyone who has done this though yet. If anyone wants to play a spam maxims at me for a few games so I can try a few things out that'd be lovely. Steamid assassin2470

Good to see advice on how to counter maxims from a Soviet-only player...
