So what I can't seem to understand so far is how to deal with the midgame. The options in the tier 2 building seem underwhelming (or more likely, I don't know how to use them properly):
- PGrens seem to die way too easily to anything.
- The 222 is decent, but one micro blunder and it's dead since MG's and small arms can hurt it. It also seems to have a usefulness window of about a minute before it becomes totally obsolete.
- The 251 is great, no comments here.
- The Pak is a clumsy tool I feel. If the enemy gets a light tank they can keep moving around the map and the Pak is not really going to stop them.
So far it looks like ostheer is a "survive until you get to tier 3" faction. Correct?
What to do midgame?

222 is good for covering pak from light tank believe it or not.
2 of them will guarantee a kill against a Stuart or T-70 either as blocker, chasing, rear shots, etc. For the cost of 30 fuel (for both).

Ostheer midgame is indeed hard.
Pgrenz can be good in close combat situations.
222 has it's moments when light vehicles come up , vs stuart or t70 you have to bait them in your pak. With the Pak you kinda gotta wait till you baited him into a teller or into a grenadier and can give him damaged engine

It depends on the map of course and how the layout is, but you are going to want one of four things if the opponent goes for strong light vehicle play:
- puma from mobile defense
- 2 paks
- a pak and a Schrecked pgren squad
- multiple scout cars
That is listed in about the order of usefulness. Of course you can get lucky with mines or one pak and hope to faust the light vehicles, but best to play it safe in an even game and not hope for your opponent messing up. Keep holding your side of the map with these until you get a medium out. These things will help you later in the game too so they are a good investment. If you are getting wrecked too hard by infantry and light vehicles go for the puma to have some immunity to infantry and a way to push back.
