Current 1v1 Ostheer Strategies?

I find it really hard to use Ostheer for 1v1s lately. Been having losing streaks.

Before I had great success using German Infantry and Mechanized Assault, even getting to level 16 with these commanders.

I feel like in every match I can't catch a break with the sheer amount of enemy infantry. I would field two HMGs but they get whittled down by overwhelming firepower even in garrison or cover.

Then that is compounded by early/rushed light vehicles.

So I'm almost always on the defensive, boxed in with only having my critical territories.

Anyways. Large maps I use German Infantry and for Urban maps I use Mechanized.

BO for German Infantry: HMG - Tech - Gren x3 - Tech/Medic Bunker - Scout Car/Pak - Storm - HMG - Tech - P4 - Tech - Panther/Brumbar/Rocket Truck

For Assault: HMG - Assault x3 - Tech/Medic Bunker - Scout Car - Pak - PanzerGren - HMG - StugE - Tech - P4 - Tiger

Any advice would be appreciated.

Assault Grenadiers are very weak at the moment. They're nicknamed AssGrens.

German Infantry is pretty solid. If your opponent is spamming infantry, you can stick a flamer pioneer in the 250 halftrack for a very fast budget flamer HT. You can chase infantry off the map with that if you avoid the troops with snares.

The Stormtroopers can then help with a quick light vehicle counter.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
