I'm trying to get a hang of OKW. They're fun but an area I really struggle with is mid to late game AT vs medium tanks (specially soviets).
What do people generally use in 1v1 to counter them?
I've tried the raketen, but it's no PAK, it's not super good. A puma can work too but it's very micro intensive and fragile of course. I've also tried holding on for a Jagdpanzer. This is a great option but the tank truck is just so expensive.
What should my AT setup be if i want to not lose to tanks in 1v1? |
Thanks everyone, very useful comments. |
I've been away for years but I used to play mainly ostheer in 1v1. Can anyone give me a quick idea about what commanders are considered most useful in 1v1 play nowadays? Are there any must buys? |
Hi.
I played a fair bit of 1v1 when the game came out,then took a break for years. I've only just taken up the new armies. Can anyone tell me what OKW commanders are worthwhile in 1v1? Any must buys?
I've gotten "scavenge" off a drop, it seems pretty useful with the grenades and the jaegers for sneaking VP's in enemy territory. |
@Gbpirate
Thanks for the detailed info, it's very useful.
How many units would you recommend getting before you tech? The main thing has to be getting to a PAK/Scout/shrek squad asap yeah?
All the allies seem to have shock light vehicles that can really screw you up even if you're doing well (quads, stuart, AC etc.)
I see a lot of people not liking MG's, do you find them critical or can you get by with just grens? |
OK, so a Stug is just about equivalent to a PAK penetration wise and the Panther still rules all. Is there a website where you can look this up?
COH1 used to have a stat site. |
It seems very strong against the Panther. I don't feel safe going 1v1 against it when I play wehr anyway. Hard to penetrate and it can hit the Panther back even frontally. |
I'm a bit new. How does the armor penetration of a Stug compare to a PAK or a Panther?
I've certainly noticed that the P4 is worse at penetrating armor than the stug but what about the others? |
I would agree, I've been beaten a few times where I was sitting there happy with my P4 only to be beaten by cromwells or churchills. I feel you really need some serious AT if you can't beat the brits hard in the early game.
If I would take a flak instead I'm not sure though.
Another thing I've been thinking about is just playing infantry and PAK until tiger? If you can get the CP's it seems reasonable. |
Hi
Is it just me or is the regular churchill tank actually rather good? I've faced it a few times and it seems to crush any axis tank smaller than a panther or tiger?
Even Panthers seem to have trouble killing it reliably, lots of shell bounces. |
