What's the Meta's current view on Command Tanks? I'm just wondering, as I'm considering the short-75er to help deal with shock troops while the foe rushes IS2s. |
I've had a change in fortunes and a few wins recently, mainly through map control and changing tactics (Infantry if he clusters his forward command, for example). Now that I'm fully ranked and trying to make my way up in the world, I've met the dreaded volksblob.
Current loadout's looking at Recon, Airborne and Infantry company, though considering Armoured literally just for the engineers for demo charges as a potential counter.
Anyone got any suggestions for dealing with these, before another poor match like the last has me tearing my hair out? |
I usually find myself laughing at people who try to insult you in chat when they're losing. If they want to type and not micro, fine. Gives me more time to toss grenades out.
Also, supression weapons usually shut down blobs. If your foe is grouping large numbers together, they're quite easily pinned, and if they don't run then they'll start to get ripped apart by indirect fire. |
So, interestingly, having recently gotten into 1v1 moving from 2v2+ with a group of friends, I've made a strange revelation in my 1v1 games thus far. That being, I've yet to suffer a loss against an Ostheer player... but I'm also yet to win against the Oberkommandos.
I just can't seem to deal with the number and aggressiveness of the Oberkommando vehicles, especially Pumas - which usually make short work of an early Stuart if I bring it out, which normally forces me to go for an AT gun instead - though the M1 57mm doesn't seem to perform anything like as well against the Oberkommandos as it does against the Ostheer.
I usually use Paratroopers for my doctorine, though I'm usually quite flexible. I've got access to the three basic companies, as well as Rifle Company (though I dislike it). Anyone got any suggestions for potential tactics for dealing with the OKW early game? |
