you can try the T-34/85 with 120mm/Mark target one, well, the T-34/85 kinda suck but you don't need to spend money in Tier structures. Again, it's a call-in issue which exists for a long time and not sure they are going to fix it.

If you looking for alternative tactics to fight the US try the Mechanised Assault Doctrine. Assault grenadiers let you counter riflemen earlier on, letting you focus on map control. Assuming that you have the doctrine.

Oh by the way it is Wehr.

Hey broodwarjc. First off, let me say no-one's pretending Wher vs USF is an easy matchup and in general USF are probably favoured, especially on a close-quarters map like Kholodny Ferma. However, please allow me to make a few points on your game in particular and why I think it went so badly for you, particularly in the early game.

Put simply, by 10 minutes into the game (well before the Scott or p47s had started playing a serious role), you needed a miracle to win. You'd had zero-to-no map control all game, allowing the USF player (whose control of his infantry wasn't all that spectacular) to rush for captain and Scott in the face of no enemy armour. Your infantry managed to wipe several riflemen but because your armour was so delayed by your poor start you were just taken apart by mobile arty fire and bars.

The loss of early map control just came down to positioning. USF have the offensive advantage against Wehr with the first units they build, so charging head on into the centre VP (which brings no resource advantage) with your cheapest unit was in itself a questionable decision. However, in actual fact, your pioneer did massive work against that first riflemen, but because your gren was off capping your fuel and not in support, there was no way to follow up. You were pushed back so hard that you built a mortar, when it is usually inadvisable to do so against USF until you've dealt with their first vehicle.

You're clearly not a noob and your cover micro and focus-fire is pretty on point. My main advice is that as Wehr you really want to make a strong frontline around an important resource point (which is usually munitions, not fuel). You want to do this early with your main combat troops grouped together, upgrading your army consistently and fending off attacks until your vet and powerful armour allow you to go on the offensive. You can help yourself do this early by keeping your combat troops in sort of a 'fist', while your pioneers keep taking points on the flanks.

If I could recommend helpful commanders, I'd say mechanized assault is definitely a strong option as opposed to spearhead. All of the call-ins are helpful, and the Stug e is far more useful than the mortar half-track against mobile US blobs.

Sorry for the long post, I hope at least some of the things I've pointed out prove helpful.
