Hey so just adding to the pool of strategies people might want to try out as Soviets. This is a strategy that I've been using a bit to decent effect.
Overall Build Order
Conscript, Conscript, Conscript, Build T2 by retreating engineer, 2x MG teams, build T3 when have enough fuel for T70, T34s and AT guns for AT
Doctrine: Your preference. The one that cloaks the AT gun is nice but guards can come in handy as well.
Reasoning behind strategy: Basically MGs are very effective against German infantry and can really help with both attacking and defending. A well micro-ed MG can get a lot of kills and can lock down a sector as it is very difficult to flank. And with 3 conscripts assisting the MGs, German infantry is outgunned.
Then, the T70 is very good atm and can really swing the battle in your favor as it is amazing at anti-inf and can take out a flame halftrack very quickly. T34s in conjunction with AT guns should be able to handle the Panzer 4s that you will inevitably see.
Cons: There will be a point where you only have 3 conscripts and haven't finished the MG and it can be tough if playing against heavy T1 from Germans.
Let me know what you think/any recommendations/if you have any success! |
