Countering JP4/Ele

T34s + mark target, or if you can get a snare close you can IL2 bomb

You're supposed to bait the tank destroyer into giving chase to a damaged tank and then use your other tanks to flank it. Or draw the TD into double at guns. Elephant is obviously gonna need a team effort. If u can't get your teammate to work with u, just ignore the elephant, by shifting your armor to the side the elefant is not guarding. Pick a place with lots of shot/sight blockers.

No decent player is going to give chase with a Ele/Jagdtiger so you have to hope you have the artillery to force it to keep moving or enough units to rush it and deal with its bodyguard units.

Especially as soviets in teamgames. Just how? If I don't go for t-34/85 and rush it with Mark target I usualyl cannot do much and it will eat away at any armor me or my team has from long range. What are the options to counter it? Usually they are also supported by other armor or AT aswell/Grens with fausts ready to destroy engines so not sure how I'm supposed to deal with them except rush with overwhelming numbers/flank and probably end up losing more than what they are worth

Problem kinda being that if I lock myself out of a commander with mark target (t-34/85's and mark target make short work of it but yeah) I won't have much to deal with it. IL-2 bomb is also a bit eh, its 200-250 ammo? and will rely on the snare so its not really that easy to pull off. Not to mention I think its in not many good commanders outside of the one with guards and Ml-20

Out of curiosity, how often are you chasing damaged tanks with that sluggish elephant?

Literally not a single player worth its salt is going to even attempt any kind of chase with turretless TD that isn't called StuG.

As for the op, mass T34s and suicide rush to the rear armor or creep in with 1-2 ZiS guns with 1-2 PTRS penals with bombing run ready.

If you don't go for T-34/85, then you should rely on SU-85s, and along with your Allies (USF, UKF) you should engage them first before they manage to field more tanks, because they will definitely rush you and destroy you with minimal casualties. A thing i have done with my friends many times is a complete armor dive to destroy their tanks and then withdraw. I personally engaged with a few tanks because i was responsible for the Anti-Infantry part, but it worked. My Soviet friend spammed T-34/85s, i, as USF, had 3 Jacksons and 1 Pershing, and our last USF guy had 8 M10s. We engaged 3 Panthers, 2 Panzer IVs and 1 Jagdtiger, and just steamrolled them. We even engaged OKW's HQs and destroyed them. Your infantry should wipe their ATs and force their infantry back, so that your tanks can push forward. Any damaged tank should retreat for repairs while the rest keep pushing the enemy.

Is everyone going to ignore the fact that the guy had 8 M10s? XD

True way to counter Axis AT, throw more tanks at it!

o be shooting back at you, so congrats you've made the unit irrelevant. Which in my books is as good as a kill.

Failing ML-20s, spot it with a sniper or vet 3 T-70 and squash it with a B4.
