You can still use it as a recon tank for ZIS guns lying around. Use it to hunt MG crew that is killing your men. Hide it to kill retreating vet troops. |
I thought it was a waste of fuel before the nerf TBH. With tech cost. The only thing I like in T3 is the T70. Mmmmm T70.... T70 is op. Destroys infantry with that rapid firing 45. I wonder why more people won't use it. |
This lmao
If your gonna blob at least try and be good at it
Mastering blobbing is like mastering chess. |
Hi all,
There are some Osttruppen doc guides out there, but written back when they cost 120 MP
Anyone have any tips for how to use them? I tried this doc in automatch twice just now and it's the hardest I've ever been stomped. I know they're buffed now but they lose against everything and you barely get a numbers advantage, and you can't really skip tech that much.
Currently my strategy is to try and get 5 units of them, MG42(s), maybe a mortar, PAKs, arty officer, and some bunkers/trenches and try to lock down some part of the map until I can make tanks. Is there something else I should do instead? Anyone have replays of them using this doc successfully?
One thing it seems to have going for it is that since you're not buying as many LMG42s, you can dish out an awful lot of fausts. Otherwise it seems horrible but maybe I just need to learn how to use it.
edit
I wasn't totally clear about the situation I want to use them in. Really, I'm looking for ANY strategy that will work with Ost doc, so I'm interesting in hearing about any success you've had with it, any map, any mix of ally faction/doc ... Get 4 squads and put them in houses with windows facing where the enemy would come from. HiWis in houses are actually pretty awesome since this patch. After that get an early panzergrenadier to boost the infantry fighting power then a pak. If you lost the fuel or map control get pak then panzergrenadier. From there, you can choose to downgrade to T1 or rush T3 instead. |
Op: You should try MOW:AS2. I don't find it as fun to play, unfortunately.
A historical comparison? The last time the two sides were closer to equal was in Feb-March 1943. (the subject of act-acter's game, kharkov 1943) Both sides were exhausted although the soviets were still stronger due to their reserves in which they had no intention of using.
1944 just doesn't work if one is sticker for 'approx' accuracy. The germans are too weak at this point, and the game would literally involve them holding trenches and fortification lines that they took weeks/months to build and rationalize. Then they would have a small mobile reserve to use for a counterattack. Then the Soviets would attack with 2 x manpower, 3 x tanks, 3 x artillery, air supremacy vs LW air absence, etc. Not very fun. It sounds very fun and exciting for the germans. |
I agree about that the T-34/76 is trash now. Now I only see either T-34/85 or IS2. My panzer iv is just dominating this poor guy(T-34/76). Now I have to worry about it ramming my tiger instead of going around to kill me. |
Unless something changed: accuracy > cooldown > reload
@Highfiveeee: if you stack 3 bulletins that "work", does the 3 of them show up on the winning screen? I remember one of my opponent stack 3 AT gun penetration for his 57mm and only 1 showed at the end. |
Shhhh...don't say it too loud.
Didn't even realise it would end up as a reverse popularity poll until he said it. I just hope people don't vote the factions they hate. |
Reason?

It's not a balance thread, don't derail please.
Sry, unintentional derail. :\ |
