It's extremely hard to flank axis tanks from behind with Jacksons, considering they're very fragile, have no smoke, can't fight infantry and face weapons like panzershreks and paks as well as the tanks in question.

Hell you can even shoot/grenade obers like regular infantry if they're close enough, not that it'll necessarily be cost effective.

I think IR STGs are a downgrade from the mg34. Handle them like sturmpioneers on steroids, LMGs should be good but para thompsons will lit them up.

In general the counter to obers is motor carriage, pack howitzers and tanks though. Anything that explodes.

Some kind of forum error. Original post went something like this:

Could someone go over the finer points of double RE builds? I know you can zook them up later to get some mobile AT but since that comes pretty late what about before then.

For 2v2 USF you could always look at Romeo replays.

Me and my mates had the same issues (not that we have an easy time now) at the start with playing USF vs OKW. The matchup is really lopsided, you need to push aggressively through the early game. If the map is 70 - 30 in your favor the match is actually going 50/50.


One thing of note is that for you to kill certain units like KTs or Elephants you need a huge advantage in armor, so really try to not lose your tanks. You're gonna need them grouped, and you're gonna have to keep the panzer numbers down otherwise they'll just roll over you with their insane armor. Remember USF AT guns are crap this patch* (because of a bug they get no cover) so if you get behind you're utterly screwed.


Wehr is completely different and not at all as difficult. You'll actually win infantry vs infantry battles there even lategame so you don't need overwhelming force. Standard tactic for the germans is still to hold 30-40% of the map and fuel point/fuel drop/opel truck everything and spam tigers. Regular tigers aren't that bad as long as you outnumber them at least 2 - 1 with Jacksons/shermans, preferably 3 - 1. Remember you haven't won at all even if the enemy is only holding a few points, get your armor groups to massive size ASAP. Remember this also applies to you having a massive armor army, remember that his infantry can effectively combat your armor so even if you feel ahead with 5 tanks you can lose it very quickly vs 1 panther and some schreks. Don't let them come back.


*As in shittier than usual, they're not that great at stopping an armor push in general anyway. Use them to even out slug matches. At an armor charge they're liable to miss all their shots before the tanks are behind you, or deal pitiful damage even to P4s. My mate has had some success in getting 4 bazookas to keep around for armor shocks, but don't expect them to even glimpse the glorious defense panzershrecks grant the axis. If you can grab a schrek don't forget to laugh uncontrollably as you now possess the power of greyskull. Guard that squad and destroy everything.
