You don't have to keep sturmpios idle when you're not building stuff. They're great combat units I liked playing like this back when I first started playing CoH1 multiplayer as Brits, but it's a way of playing that you just don't get far with. It can be fun when you start out, and get you some success on the lower levels, but there's a reason there are no high level players who play like that

Why don't people invest in extremely expensive, pop-heavy static defences?

Cus' of these bad boys:







And all off maps....

Any off-maps or artillery what so ever completely fuck static defences over. Let's not even go into the fact that almost all the (useful) American doctrines have extremely heavy off-map artillery call ins which can absolutely decimate static defences (Literally one-shotting PaK40s and other static shit).

I only go double sturms against Soviets. Why?

1) Sturms can close the distance and win against most Soviet infantry, except for Flamer Penals and Shocks. And they can even win against a charging Shock if in green cover.

2) They absolutely tear up Maxims, moreso than any other support weapon team. And since Maxims are currently a staple of the Soviet meta, it only makes sense. Send a Volks squad into the firing cone. Flank with a sturm.

In early game, avoid fights with single sturm unless you've totally got the drop on a Con or engie squad. Once the second is built, keep them together and they won't bleed much manpower/need to get reinforced as dual sturmpios should "outbleed" your opponent in any given fight (except for charging 2/3 con squads in cover).
