Okay, i'm not a really bad USF player although not that experienced either (rank 700 USF).
I can fight OKW fine, no problems at all, I just rush capt -> stuart/p.howie and i'm set.
But Ostheer is a whole different story... when rushing captain I just lose control points to his MG/sniper control. And if I go LT -> m20 into capt & major, I delay my tech so bad, that he can have 2 panzers by the time I am still saving up for my first Sherman or jackson considering we're on near equal grounds regarding capture points / vps.
I have the feeling I kind of tried everything. It's also not that I can't win vs Ostheer (otherwise I wouldn't be rank 700), but it's my most frustrating matchup while I think OKW is harder as people consider it... overpowered although that's argueable.
Any tips regarding this matchup?
Thanks
m10 is good against ostheer, but in 1v1s or 2v2s lt into capt or lt + zooks is good. The big decision is between the m20 and the m16, m20 is good if you had map control, were able to harrass, take, or cut off his fuel, or if he went heavy tier 1. M20 has a smaller window against Ostheer than OKW, which was already small because of the new luches. M20 is also good against the 222 if played well, make sure you place mines in that small window and if you have floating resources and zooks, remove the crew with an RE, give it another zook, now that tank crew counters the 222. m16 counters the 222 so getting it if behind is good. My biggest recommendation is teching zooks, since they are capable against OST early to medium game armor and very valuable since they got buffed. IF you are ahead from their you could tech major, but if not tech capt for another zook squad and an m57 which will be a threat to medium armor, just make sure you field a jackson for possible late game heavies, unless its an elefant, then try not to field too much armor.
