With the recent patch, a successful start for this build is engineers, M3, Penals, M3. You have the first engineer squad get in the M3 and harass a unit right off the bat to keep the Ostheer player on the back foot rather than just keep taking the few territory you have. That is the down side to the M3s start is that you trade off higher combat efficiency (after all, you will drain MP while not loosing any because repairs are free) for the inability to take territory as effective. The more you sit on your thumbs taking territory with the few units you have means more time for the Ostheer player to get a bunch of grens and tech up to get an armored car. Also like other players have said, this strat does not really work well on cluttered maps. |

When I play around with this commander, I go T2 and keep getting units until around 4 CPs, then I start saving manpower and tech to T4. I usually get one SU-76 before I activate the commander to continue banking MP. Now from here on its how competitive do you want to go, For ultimate fun and troll just keep cranking out SU-76 and use them in mass to barrage stuff. For competitive get out 1-2 SU-85 and a KV-8 |

Westheer will definitely inspire Allies/Soviets-only players to take their whining to the next level and Relic will meet them blow or blow with the nerf hammer.
Does that make you an axis only player? because balance complaints should come from both sides about any topics just like the ISU. Just because a defense does not make them a "that faction only" player. You are one of the biggest culprits for starting flame wars and inspiring a polarized partisan community. You should stop being so biased and aggressive with your posts (here and on the official forums). |

can we get official times for games? because I will be working, but I would love to participate |

I voted other because I am a full time college student and do not have time to climb the ladder/ refine my skills as I would like too. This summer I hope to pick up tournaments though |

There is nothing wrong with mines, what do you expect to happen, foot rubs? mines are devastating on both sides and smart placement at key points near craters are done intentionally to get squad wipes because they are using the pathing system to their advantage. That is player skill, not the mines fault. If you hit a mine in the middle of the road chances are you will only loose 2ish models. Maybe if you are struggling vs mines actually make use of the mine sweeper? or if you use the mines sweeper, how bout letting them lead your reinforcements? |

katitof you would probebly do better on these forums if you were not so sarcastic or antagonistic. For those of you who call him out, he generally uses stats, and rather good logic/ reasoning. If he is such a noob how is he rank 90 right now? I have never had more fun playing the German faction than recently, It has actually become competitive. Are there problems with the game right now? sure, but it doesnt deserve threads like these.... |

Stop whining about an expensive munitions ability. What if instead they had panzershrecks? im sure you would be way more upset. Instead of needing another anti tank unit, Guards would just wander around killing tanks like panzergrens. |

In terms of the grenadiers themselves I think gren blobbing is fine to deal with. I still do not like however that rifle grenades hard counter gren counter (generally the maxim). Molotovs you have to get in close to lob the grenade but grens can just sit comfy in cover just inside the range of the maxim and blow it up. |
may i remind you that wehrmacht have always had to buy vet? coh1?
May I remind you that it wasnt cool then, but it was a little more fair. You never got instant vet three guys until you teched through the whole tree and purchased three linear upgrades. Now you can do it at 2:30 which horribly scews combat situations in favor of Ostheer. My example is that after 40+ minutes a vet three conscript squad can kill vet 0 panzer grens, which by a cost and combat powers analysis on base stats should never happen. Only instead of earning the veterancy through game play, you can just upgrade a unit early on and slaughter Soviet infantry. |
