Just remove pak43 it is a failed design and give us back Flak88

Sigh. And how I wish that would be possible. But they won't remove anything from game.

Well first, you didn't say what armies you play. Is it dual ostheer? Is it ostheer + okw? Is it dual okw?

Soviets can usualy lock the frontline with maxim spam + all infantry types and mortars (prefeably 120) + several zis and even su-85s. If they play as a team, this strat is even more dangerous because it can be put in place realy well. Currently dual soviets are the best combo Allies can get.

Well, first you have to break that frontline of ZIS maxim and mortars. The best tool for that is the wurframen. As ostheer you have the mortar ht and recentlyeven the common mortars which are currently verry good. They want a positional game? Give them a a positional game, but with better tools. It's more easy than trying to break the frontline with head-ons or flank attacks. For that you need perfect micro and coordination while success is not assured.

As OKW, if you see that, don't chose your doc to early. You may need a Jagdtiger later, if they have ISU doctrines at loadout. If T34/85's you can reply with panthers but if you manage to build KT it's 60% a won game.
Tough late game armor will be delayed though (unless your partner is ostheer and works hard to give ou fuel) because for an intensive maxim+zis+mortar combo, you will need to build 2 wurframens. One will not suffise.

If ostheer, unless you use mortar hts (because your partner is responsible for that or for wurframens) those comming in 2 doctrines from which just one deserves your attention - spearhead, I would suggest Jager Armor doctrine, Elite troops doctrine. If they going on T34/85 hard, use lightning war. You will have the Tiger and the infamous Stuka ground attack which will simply eat their armor for dinner.

For what you described I guess that dual okw would be the best bet (because of wurframens) but they could quickly adapt their gameplay and try to storm you with a middle armor flood. If they do that, and you spent your fuel on wurframens, you are toasted.

Make sure you garrison important buildings before he does. That's important.

All in all it's about who outplays whom. Me and my AT partner succeded to beat this strategy by simply outplaying them in startgame with combined front and flanking attacks. But I guess that was possible just against weaker teams than us.

Hope this helped.

Fixed that for ya.

Thank you sir, I am in debt

Doesn't sound ridiculously OP at all

I'm surprised they don't spawn with 5 lmgs. Someone must teach those mean obersoldaten a lesson you know.

Well I guess if it was about Zimbabwe or Somalia nobody would have observed it, isn't it? These are countries also ya know...
