this poll can't be faire because there more than 80% of german player on this forum
People play this game without trying all the factions? |
Mine are usually still around by mid-game, but they are up against much stiffer competition at that point. They can still be useful to flank and cap, just less so with all the heavier stuff around then. |
I use them as part of my standard BO versus Soviets. I build two squads early. They are super effective against Conscripts and can waste an entire squad of them quite easily. Against Penals, they can get beaten without Grenadier support. Against Riflemen, I don't even bother. The Riflemen eat them up when they are closing the gap, so I don't use them versus Americans.
They are meant to give you an edge in the early game. They can be viable in the mid or late if you use combined arms. For instance, if someone has a hard point in Semoisky in the centre, bombard with mortars or artillery, send in a tank or something heavy, and use your Assault Grenadiers to sweep in and mop up weakened infantry and/or weapons teams. They are generally not that effective though at that stage of the game.
Shock Troops absolutely annihilate them, though. Never send them against those guys.

The 120mm mortar for the Soviets makes short work of it and every other OKW tech building. I just ground attack through the fog of war. |
He had you if he hadn't retreated his crewmen. Ouch. |
Not the greatest played game on my part (are any?), but this guy had multiple opportunities to build a Panther of Jagdpanzer, but always chose the Panzer II "Luchs", and even quit when he could still bring out a Jagdpanzer. He did seem to have a grasp on the BO he wanted, but I'm left a little baffled. |
The apocalyptic American blob of doom can't kill something?! |
It's tough to counter. Most strategies against it are easier said than done, though it can be done. If a mistake is made early against them, though, it can be lights out. |
This happens to me, but only when the game is first loading. I always thought it was because of my outdated processor (a Phenom II). I'm updating my processor come near the end of the month and we'll see how it performs then. |
If the movie ends with the Tiger vs Sherman tank battle, it sort of will remind me of the Russian movie that came out a bit ago with the Tiger vs T-34 battle. |
