Ayeee I see the problem here, he believes anything more than 2 or 3 is spam Kappa
i just want something that works. hell, i was only partially being facetious about 6 grens into tiger. like, christ if it works i'll ride it like freakin' secretariat...
The problem with maxims is not that they are powerful mgs as they are not but that they are quick harassment units that can counter single squad trying the counterharassment, and you usually cannot use more not to weaken your front lines. Thats where you need 222 or even 221 for less cost. It makes maxims retreat quickly and is fast enough to cover both flanks. More maxims is less cons and less AT nades. If you kite remaining conscripts well single zis gun poses no threat. And making a zis is a big mistake on soviet side. It is costly unit that will do next to nothing for most of the early-mid game. That lets you overwhelm him with infantry. If it is some cons + double maxim into zis gun you need nothing more than spamming grens... No tech, just 5-6 grens with riflenades and maybe g43 and you cap whole map easily. Ofc it is not good against any soviet tactic but you can make 3 and decide what is needed next.
Ok the 222 makes sense now that you outline its mobility and I can see why you recommend a cmdr with resource conversion
You dont have to build 4 grens (but prefered against heavy t0 conspam)
Try out going gren,mg,gren,gren or gren,gren,mg,gren,mortar.
Of course the build orders are map and foe dependent.
Mechanzied is in general a good idea,just Assaultgrens wont make it on such a rather open and snowy map.Use them in urban maps or places with a lot of corners and sight blockers.Additionally assgrens shouldnt basically be your first squad,you will mainly bleed mp and as a capping unit i'd rather go for 2nd pio.
As soon as possible t2 pgreng or pak or scout car then whatever you feel is right to go for.
Hope that i could help you.
Id suggest having spearhead on your bar for a weapon team spammer (Moratar HT) Clears them out pretty good, also counters 120's fairly well.
Use Mech assault vs US. They have a harder time dealing with a stug E.
This is what I usually do as a 99.9% default. I changed here to rush the fuel since I didn't want to deal with a maxim or cons in the house or sandbagged up.
against double maxim on this map I would go for 4 grens into 222 and 1 pgren, then paks and CAS as it is the only way to have muni there.
yeah but that ZiS gun rolled up quickkkkk. i could see how it could help me at least pester the 82mills and give my GrW 34 a small window of opportunity to dislodge the maxims. come what may, it seems to be the general consensus that regardless of build or commander AT LEAST 4 grenadier squads is non-negotiable.
