Your question should be PG+HMG+ optional Ostruppen or Assgren

I'm playing mainly 1vs1 at the moment but AAHT isn't the best option imo even in 2vs2. Yes it does suppress but has a lack of pushing power and too clunksy to be super viable on many maps. Plus AAHT is really bad vs HMGs if they are well positioned.

I rather go T1 + M20 with the support of an HMG. The M20 is faster and more maneuvrable and has smoke. Its killing power is bette than the AAHT and last but not least you get it twice faster on the field.

On my last games vs such strat I'm pretty sure to have force a T2 build + 222 just because I went M20 and was destroying their infantry. I say that because a normal 222 usually hit the field a minute after a M20 but in those matches they were there much later letting me suppose 222 wasn't part of their initial plan.


There is definitively an issue with Pgren hitting the field so early, not only because of shreck but because of their stat vs what kind of mainline infantry they meet at 4 minutes mark. As USF you have at maximum 1 BAR, UKF and Soviet are maybe ok since Penals and IS are stronger but the matchup Ostheer / USF is completely fucked up with the capacity for ostheer to build dual HMGs to stale early game and 4 minutes Pgren.
What's definitively wrong is such strat force you to invest more fuel to effectively counter the pgren while he's saving his own fuel by not building tiers.
