Profile of Sturmpanther

Hi, Thanks for your previous answer. I really appreciate it. I managed to improve my gameplay bit by bit.

If you don't mind, I have other questions that I would like to ask

1) In general, how many model you need to kill when using sniper to be considered effective in 2v2? or 3v3?

2) In a situation where your sniper almost get flanked, is it better to press retreat instantly or moving backwards and try find a place to camouflage?

3) From streams, I learnt that most of the top OKW player is rushing tier 3 to build walking stuka and skipping the medic truck, is this how you should play OKW?

4) I recently start playing abit OKW but I usually main T2 and T4 , and build walking stuka at last when they just have too much team weapon. In my opinion spending 150 fuel in total for the truck and walking stuka is a bit too much. I wonder whats your opinion about this

5)In your recent post, you also mentioned that KT is actually a good tank. However I think I just fail how to utilise it properly. My KT was easily destroyed by 3 assault SU guns, any tips on how to use KT properly?. As the assault gun just out range my KT and has a good penetration

Hey sorry, i forgot that you posted back. I was busy
1) Sniper cost: 340 Manpower: A model kill is from 21-35 Manpower. And you have less mapcontrol when you get a sniper out. Less normal inf on the field.
Its not only a qestion about how many kills at all. Its a question on what you are shooting and how fast each min.
Like its better to shoot on brit inf or USA inf. Shooting on cons, pios or maxims, is not a big deal for the soviets.

2) Both can work. Depends on the map and the situation.

3-4) I assume you talk from teamgames streamers? When you play vs heavy weapon gameplay, then yes stuka is great.
In 2vs2-4vs4 I made an easy Rule.( its easy to remember^^)
Wehrmacht goes t3( stugs and co) okw goes t3 as well; walking stuka
Wehrmacht goes t4 ( panzerwefer, brummbär) okw goes t4 as well; JagdtpanzerIV, piv
So always look or ask what your mate is doing. T3--> T3, T4--> T4.

KT is an ok tank, when you have support for it. Don't drive alone with your KT. So get some raktenwerfer with it and inf. Or a JagdtpanzerIV to kill TD.

Don't go for KT when you face alot of t34, or chromwells. Better go Panther vs that.

Well 3 soviets at guns is alot of manpower too. So kill one, go back and repair. Or even better drive in, so you see them. And then use walking stuka or panzerwerfer and kill this at guns.

As always: Crazy magical thread

Just a few things that could make the map play better/more enjoyable. The main balance issue was fixed in the last patch (north team middle area opened up).

CHANGES 1 - 4 WOULD HELP A LOT.
CHANGES 5-7 ARE NICE TO HAVES

1. Remove some of the cargo containers in mid VP area (RED). North of the VP should just be removed. the two south of the VP could be switched out for a medium crush type wall. This area is full of units late game and the containers create bottlenecks and limit areas to hide from mortar/artillery. Removing one of the northeast containers would help even more (YELLOW).
2. To assist light vehicle pathing the cart (BLUE) could be moved more south east. A section of sandbags left of the cart could also be removed to open the area even further.


3. The eastern VP needs some cover added for the south team. When pushed from the fuel/vp area there is little no cover which makes it hard to fight back in to position. South team usually gets rekt once this happens. Could also remove the corner piece(RED) of wall since it funnels your squads and limits sight.
4. Someone needs to look at the brick debris piles. Should they be removed? In the worldbuilder they have very strange sight issues. They block sight when several meters away but gradually allow sight as you get closer. Player position is GREEN dot. This may help push MGs but also creates ambiguous engagements. Especially for new players.





5. Remove the section of pipe that ties the left and right industrial area together. This would create another flanking option.


6. Remove a section of the southern train (after the burned out section) to open another path.


7. Create more space in areas where OKW/UKF/USF armies need to setup. Late game there is limited space to put OKW trucks/ambulances/HQs etc so artillery becomes very effective. Remove or reposition objects (GREEN ARROWS) in these following pictures to create more space for HQs..

1. I am fine with removing the 2 Container north side. Maybe add soem bushes into this place( ofc crush able for later then)
South side and the middle container stays.

2. Remove this small car at all. Rest stays.

3. Kill the thing on your red arrow and replace with with green cover. But don't add any other cover to the south side.

4-7 Go for it.

Tested the south vp and the new castle again.

--> Green for me

Why you people keep discussing new units, when you know full well that we can only use what is in game and no new unit will be implemented?

I ask me that everyday I see this here
