I just miss all the synergy that was between factions
Like dropping mg42 to my okw friend that equips it with fallschrimjaegers
Or dropping vickers to my penal friends.

Also a lot was nerfed, like ostheer sniper incindiary shot not taking 6 seconds to fire, so you snipe the retreating squad.

Hi Aarotron,

If you are suffering from bleed I am guessing it's because you're playing against OKW, who in their current state are pretty efficient at shredding conscripts. I've had the same problem trying to use an aggressive conscript start in the early game vs OKW.

The problem is simple - con spam is an aggressive strategy, but because of the difference between a combat engineer and a sturmpioneer you will never have as much raw power on the field as early as OKW. Another problem is if you go early maxims your opponent can usually outflank and push you off using volks.

The solution I've found is to play slightly slower using a mix of penals and conscripts (Con - penal - con - penal). This gives you beefier infantry that should prevent OKW from over-running you early. My general build from there is usually 120mm mortar, mini at gun (if using defensive tactics)/ Guards, then fast T 70.

If you're using penals, don't upgrade them until you seen medium armour. I usually only upgrade 1 in any case. However their snare when upgraded is absolutely insane and can easily win you games if you use them to ambush.

Other thoughts - use mortar flares/ combat engineers rather than conscripts to scout dangerous territory. Make sure you upgrade healing early (after your 4 infantry) so you don't take extra bleed.

Hope these tips help

Back in the day there were plenty of meme units in T4s on both sides, like the brummbar and katy. (Although I'm pretty sure relic increased the meme value of katy by making it almost instagib OKW HQs for a while)

The British AEC was never built either so the splash damage was boosted to ridiculous levels. After the re-nerfs you still see it in most games so a nerf doesn't mean the unit will never be seen again.

(RIP CalliOpieOP)

Back in the day most non-doctrine soviet armor had trouble with axis tanks (SU76, SU85, T34/76) and that is part of the reason the call in meta was dominant in every mode.

That does not change the seemingly common consensus that the unit is in a peculiar spot right now.

A very rarely possible thing is planting them onto someones retreat path.
