thank you guys.... Ill try to find teammates...already found 1 ...however want to get to a decent rank since im only 7 on my best army

The honest truth is that you well never get a consistent gaming experience in a 4v4 and have very little potential to improve. Playing 4v4 should mainly be done just for having fun, or perhaps if you want to practice some particular strategies and doctrines that you are not used to.

If you want to improve your core game, your best bet is playing 1v1. It can be stressfull as hell and you'll have no one else to blame when you get your ass kicked, but it is a great way to learn and immensely more satisfying when you can feel yourself improving.

This little halftrack is so neglected.

Having used it as a reinforcement point and a delayed flamecar (and sometimes filled with shocks for increased cheeky breeky-ness) I'm currently intrested in using the quad upgrade. I had a bad experience when I lost a match because it couldnt pin a single volks squad that was caping a VP, even more so, since they could withstand its fire enough time to put TWO fausts on it.

I've seen a replay when this bad boy holds off the okw hordes from behind a some penals so it has the range and the supression to deal with blobs.

Any tips for this unit?

It is actually a bit strange that this is not used more, considering the reinforce ability. My guess is that it is probably a bit to overpriced at the moment, and people prefer the t-70 because it is more flexible and a natural counter to both luchs and double 222's.

When going for the quad upgrade, bear in mind that it only does suppression when firing while stationary. This means that it is a bit less efficient when kiting, although the damage output is still decent.

Have fun and good job bringing this unit back in the game!

Is there any quick way of disposing of kubels to deny exp to the enemy? Like attack ground with a raketen?

You mean like killing your own kubel? It is generally quite hard to kill your own units, but I think your best bet would be to place it on top of your own mine and shoot at the mine.

But to be honest I can't think of any scenario where I would not just rather try to make the most of it while I could keep it alive, as the amount of xp it feeds an opponent hardly justifies killing it yourself.

Three Sturmpioneers would be interesting and every surviving Sturmpioneer past the minesweeping original is another unit that can carry a Panzershreck.

I personally wouldn't want to build more than two Kubelwagens.

Do you think Battlegroup into Flak or Mechanized into Luchs or Puma would best serve a Sturmpioneer and Kubelwagen heavy opening? Personally I'd lean towards the Flak: with a lot of fragile infantry around the medics are likely to be invaluable and the Flak truck seems like it'd have a very strong synergy with two Panzershrecked Sturmpioneer squads.

Either could probably work. As Sturmpios can place medkits, they could compensate for the lack of battlegroup for a while so I would mainly base this on the map and what you are most comfortable playing with.

Breakthrough is a quite flexible commander, basically giving you everything you could ask for in terms of call-ins and off-map artillery.

I don't know if you ever watch Imperial Dane on Twitch, but I think it is fair to say that this is pretty much his favorite OKW doctrine and he makes especially good use of the breakthrough tactics on opponents cut-offs and the Sturm Offizier ability to force an enemy unit to retreat.

I think skipping voks is certainly viable with this doctrine, especially now that sturmpios cost less to reinforce (allthough you might want to get at least one unit of volks for building sandbags). I would caution against the temptation of going too heavy into both volks and pzfusis, as you will need to prepare for the late game so you don't get wrecked by an early t-70 or other light/medium tanks.

As for the relative builds in terms of battlegroup and mech I don't really have an opinion on this, as I don't really think this doctrine makes that choice much different than any other doctrine would (I guess it could be said that with two sturmpios you could ensure that you always had medkits in base if you decide to go that direction).

I have recently faced a few people who went heavy infantry and directly into a jagdtiger and I personally didn't find that very hard to deal with. While you might be able to rattle some lower level opponents from the sheer shock value, I think anyone close to lvl 10 would just outmaneuver and crush the hulking beast (potentially even just snare it so it would have to limp back to base and spend ages being repaired). If you're looking for at strat to skip or delay building the schwere panzer, then I still think that Spec Ops and the command tank is the way to go.
