Been seeing this opening used a lot, very hard to stop as UKF (1v1, maybe 2v2 has an effect also)

Build order is double engineer double MG.. and that's it, nothing else.
Goes tier 1, queues two 222's two pgrens and clicks up two ostruppen (the 222's kill enough to hit commander 4 easily)

Look at their player cards XD

If they don’t have grens to panzerfaust you can abuse the shit out of the uc. You can even use t to safely flank mgs and deposit an infantry section behind them. In the mid game keep abusing the fact that he has no snare. AEC is a good counter to 222s especially if he can’t snare it and infantry sections backed by mgs will beat pgrens most of the time. I like to throw a sniper and commandos into the mix too and those would work pretty well against this strat. Sniper can even engine damage 222s with his ability, which is pretty nice. Commandos will wipe mgs really easily with grenades and can beat pgrens pretty soundly as long as you get the ambush bonus and don’t have to close with them.

I was watching Han's stream today..
He was playing Soviets against Vonivon and got decimated by 222 + flame halftrack. It was pretty much a variation of this build and wow.
Aecoh told him to watch Devm play against it and even then it's a pretty tough strategy to deal with.
There's alot of smoke and wipe potential now with the 222's and the flame halftracks so it's very hard to keep the AT gun rolling.
