Huh, might as well call it Ostheer, since I know how to spell that. My problem with Assault grens is that they don't scale well and smart USF players will back away from advancing Assault Grens. Plus at 280MP and 28 to reinforce they are a big manpower drain on already a very MP draining match.

I find that Ostheer just can't lose much, compared to any other faction. I mean OKW can build and lose the Kubel Wagon in the first 5 minutes and be fine, same with Cons or a M3 for Soviets and a Riflemen for USF. I just feel the effects of losing even one unit early with Ostheer so much more than with any other faction. From my experience of testing Assault Grens, they are a throw away unit once the first Bars come out, since they can't compete (They need a Stg44 upgrade or a Armor buff at Vet 2).

Here is a replay of a victory over Soviets with Mech Assault:

I find that if an Ost player does not use HMG then it is considerably easier to win as USF.

By using the HMG it forces several things from me as a USF:

1) Forces me to consider buying nades early. This delays fuel.
2) Forces me to use care during my approach. I cannot afford to retreat, much less get pinned.
3) Can completely deny a sector because of point number 2. If I don't get nades, I will ignore the areas where MGs are posted till I get an m20.

In general, a HMG may not seem effective to you but trust me it is definitely a thorn in the side of your enemy. Even if your opponent seems to be countering your HMG efforts easily (and it most likely is not easily done, just seems so).

I laugh and sigh when no HMG is present. kek.
