>I think you're mistaken about your timing in a coin flip game territory wise a med truck to luchs combo will arrive about the time a t70 will hit, granted they've not put fuel elsewhere ie script upgrades.
I disagree about the timing, as Jeeves says by the time they've locked down both fuels you're already way behind on the fuel war by then and a T-70 will be out before you can even build a Luch. Why would they waste fuel on early script upgrades when they can counter the Kubel just fine with Maxims?
Spreading out your forces across the map is probably the worst thing you can do against aggressive Con/Maxim play because early OKW units are useless without supporting each other. You need to keep your units close-knit and flank while he suppresses your Volks.
But the above point is not always doable as the OP pointed out on maps like Minsk where it is very easy for double Sov to just maxim creep up on your fuel while holding their own and you have pretty much zero flanking potential with your only early game counter (Sturms).
>It just struck me as well the sturmoffiziers force retreat could be powerful in that situation too if that doctrine interests you.
Wrong doctrine choice in all honesty, you need Scavenge doctrine in this situation for infiltration grenades to complement your Volks and Jaegers for sprint+grenade spam. Wasting muni on the Sturm officer and vanilla grenades to deal with maxims that will just retreat and reposition will only prevent you from equipping shreks.
