Im at a loss with these ubermensch. I have no idea how to counter their instant kills on squads. I lost 2 vet 3 rifle squads in about 4 seconds against a vet 0 Ober squad. The lack of defensive bonuses on retreat is what killed them I think, but still going from full life to 0 life in a matter of seconds in retreat is something I can't go against.
Ive tried getting that mobile light arty the US forces get, but it doesn't have the damage output vs vehicles and takes precious resources away from armor/at you need to counter German armor.
Arty (field arty: Priest, 75mm support gun) doesn't work very well because if it misses, which its prone to do, the player can move his Obersoldaten away before the second shell lands.
Then theres the Lt + Rifles with Bar spam, which isn't cost effective as far as I can tell because you lose more than the obersoldaten and they have a really high chance of living when they retreat.
So... viable tactic? |
