How to defeat blob combined with land mattress spam?

could always go heavy on the infantry as they are blobbing, try mg34s and other suppressive types,
going breakthrough for the g43 fuzz, to keep up with heavy infantry opponents. just don't get the commander if you aren't willing to baby sit him.

also, if you feel like you need AT get you shrek upgrades with your sturms and get a raketen, two if you can micro them well enough.

also piats aren't really great vs infantry so you will start getting the advantage as you keep vetting. if you feel like you are going to get hit by arty a lot, just remember not to let your units clump and keep your squads spread enough to support each other but not enough to get hurt by explosions.

other commanders

luftwaffe the falls really tend to hurt especially once you get your smoke nade. and can chew up infantry. just remember these guys can be super squishy.

Armoured try getting a puma for heat rounds and let that carry you untill you can get your jp4. the jp4 can handle almost anything british launches at you. and well sturmtiger for le bloberino

spec ops, the flares are super helpful to know where your enemy is, as well as it will help with accurate barrages. also the hide from the minimap ability can be strong.

overwatch is kind of meh, but if you can get a good goliath off you are more or less set on game.

and for the fire storm commander, the salvage is really good, and the flame throwers on sturms are really good too. and the before your engagements and when you have enough munitions use the manpower ability to help recoup your losses. this ability is what makes this commander good.

and as for your recon, ostwinds can chew out infantry very well. just baby sit it please, as for the scout squads try to not go over board on them, and let your volks take the hits while your sniper squads do all the hurt..

that is all i can think of. and i hope this helps you form new ideas.

(flaktrack is ok, but you will have trouble with piats. and the ISG would be ok, but you have to micro that hard as well)

Mechanized + stuka = 150 fuel

New brummbarr is your friend in this situation. Of course this leaves you vulnerable to comets but if you can have a stug panther elephant or some schreks backibg you up you'll have a good time bleeding him out. Brummbarr wipes and bleeds him mp a ton .

Mechanized is tech.
If you wanna start including teching costs you should realize the LM requires CPs which largely come from teching. Also you have to unlock PIATs and then purchase them all which costs resources.

Use support weapons like mgs and mortars.

Okay so 100, it is much fuel compared to land mattress of doom's cost and going mech = no tanks.
Yes, mechanized is tech but it's not neccesary to do to get schwere.

Already established a land mattress/calliope/or even a 120 or US motar, rapes Axis weapon teams...

Not even including all the call-in AOE options.

If he's getting Calliope you should have tanks to counter it. If hes getting LM or any other indirect fire, you can afford indirect fire to counter it.

If hes using combined arms to defeat you then you use the same against him. Constantly harass his indirect fire to force them off the field. Deal with his blobs by using infantry with an mg behind them to suppress. Move when they barrage your mg. It's ntt rocket science here.

Also, you didn't quote the part where I talked about using sandbags to give your support weapons green cover. Believe it or not green cover reduces their received dmg by half allowing your weapon teams to survive barrages without a problem.

Unlike you it seems, im well aware how the game works. I know cover reduces damage somewhat.

Theres more to it than "if they use combined arms, then you should too". I mean way to state the bloody obvious...

My point is, and always was, the indirect fire options for allies are all way better. Meaning Yeah sure i can fight fire with fire... but the allied fire is a few hundred degrees hotter than the axis atm...

Which is why if you look at the top 10 in 1v1s. the allies have the highest ratios. And always have.
