FYI Nullist Penals rarely beat a Grenadier in 1v1 up front fight as there so damn fragile. This isn't even factoring in the 50% cost increase in comparison. |
AT Nades / Fausts are only so effective because of retarded units such as the SU-85 (last patch). I still think it's funny that Conscripts have no problem AT nading Osteer tanks but getting a faust off on a T70 is mission impossible, if you want to keep the squad alive that is. |
I don't think you can remotely compare the T70 to the 222, ignnoring the fact one costs extremley vital munitions for the Osteer. Let's not even pretend the AC has anywere close to the same firepower either, oh and crush. |
Not to mention the eight - nine minute T70's that can destroy every single retreating unit by just going a little ahead of them and blocking retreat path. It's pretty rare for a shreck squad to win vs them in a 1v1 situation. This is made even more annoying by the fact you lose 360 MP / 120 Muni when you retreat whilst the Soviet player loses 160 MP / 55 Fuel... |
Afaik Scout Cars only require one AT nade to kill as it engine damages them and leaves them with less than 20% Health, of which small arms can finish them off with ease. |
I don't see how homing AT nades and panzerfauts resemble anything like skill. |
I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. Snipers come out and can cap (Whilst camouflaged) and simply run and gun for extended periods of time whilst denying the enemy the ability to cap whilst they chase it, also bleeding manpower. |
If your unable to keep snipers alive in the early game, your doing it wrong. You can cover them from Infantry via MG42s (Bulletin lol pin) or from M3's with Grenadier fausts. |
I use Jaeger Infantry almost exclusively and can't atest to having difficulty making my units camouflage be it MG42s or Grenadiers. Half the time they camo when only partially in cover and mixed with hold fire lead to some hilarious engagements. |
I've not played an extreme amount of 1v1 games as Osteer, but I do have a ratio of 16-2 with a sniper incorporated into every single early game. It's rare to lose said sniper, coverage with camouflaged HMG's as anti sniper's and grenadiers as anti armour means you can bleed the enemy freely. |
