Hey,

I just saw a video where the guy just wipe an entire army.

Does G43 way better than mg 42? I don't have the Blitzkrieg commander but i can buy it, it's worth it?

G43 is definitely much better than K98 on the move and the 42 doesn't shoot on the move at all. It isn't definitely OP in any way though. This guy succeded becouse he had advantage in numbers and terrible micro from his opponent coused in nobody shooting at his grens.

Actually the people chose this doctrine for combo of tiger and ju-87. Ju-87 is really good, against some factions, like usf, even overpowered. I also use it for ostruppen reserves sometimes, it really gives you the snowball effect.

Ok i will think about it, because i have my first 15000 supply and i don't want to waste them, i still hesitate between Ostruppen and Blitzkrieg commander.

You should buy the ostruppen doctrine, ostruppen allows you to cap territories in early game and supply drop to rush Panzer 4 or Panther.

Both have their pros and cons.

G43 will make your grens far more mobile because they shot on move and it will also buff they short range and MID DPS by a lot, so you can get with your squads more agressive. It is also a litlle bit better at long range than kar, so they are always useful

LMG2 will give grens really good long range firepower but they cannot fire on a move so you should be more static with them, run into cover and be defensive player, don´t make flanks. They buff your long range DPS by a lot a also increase mid(mediocry) and short range DPS (only little).

So all in all it depends on your in game situation and playstyle : LMG is better on defensive with mg 42 and paks for example whereas G43 is better for making flanks and pushes with tanks.


Also on long ranged maps you generally want lmg42 because of their static nature and on close ranged maps you want G43 becuase of poin blank fights and flanking maneuvers

That's what I understood, g43 fit more with my playstyle grenadier with it seems more efficient than panzergrenadier, maybe a good strategy could be 3 grenadiers and rush T3 without making the T2 building to get Tanks quickly.

I'll try this.

It´s not recommended until new patch. You will get really small change in your long range DPS and I even think your short range DPS will get worse. After patch you´ll get +20% LoS for Pgrens and better long range DPS so it may be efficient to upgrade pgrens with them if you have spare munnition and not wanting to give them schreck
