I've been trying to pick up CoH1.
/questions/
Thanks.
Cool! Welcome Aboard!
Give the Eastern Front mod a go when you have a good feel for the game; It's a fantastic mod!
To answer your questions:
Rangers are OP as f*ck. They are the Terminators of CoH1 that come with bazookas; so good against everything except an MG.
Thomson upgrade when you have loads of CQC (think of em like the Shock troops of SU)
AT guns are your best bet against halftrack/Pumas.
You may want to try a 1,2 punch combo with rifle's sticky bomb.
Aside from AT gun, M10 or Sherman.
Grens are better at close range, whereas volks are better at range.
Volks with MP 40's get better close range firepower.
Both melt in front of a 30cal.
Bazookas are best against tanks/light vehicles.
Recoiless is an emergency use bazooka for paratroopers/rifles; wouldnt do much damage to a stuh/stug from the front tho.
Sorry, I dont have target tables.
