Profile of Cardboard Tank

...but personally i find blobs to be a non issue as ostheer since you have access to mg42s...

IT WILL BE A PATCH OF MY DREAM!!! WOOP WOOP THATS A SOUND OF BALANCE

You gotta be kidding me. These notes are obviously troll changes. Buffs to the Jackson without a dmg nerf? Cool, Ostheer T4 now becomes as useless as Ostheer T3 versus USF.

Nerf to the Panther armor? Ostheer Panther was never seen again (look previous patch).

Welcome Tiger call in meta. CAS spam as you don´t have useful tanks.

IS-2 armor on the KT? Mirroring stuff? I don´t think so.

Someone tried too hard there, making drastic changes and start a troll discussion.

Guys, seriously, give me any replay of any player where MG42 getting #rekt in situation, where you think it shouldn't be.

I really want to belive you, but my own experience of using it just tells me that it is fine if used correctly.

Here you see a vet 3 MG42 and its performance. It´s hilarious how long it needs to pin a unit, even if it´s yellow cover. It´s 28 seconds of constant bursts. At 52:26 it finally has them pinned.

How the hell do you counter that sniper as USF?

CAS is what currently keeps Ostheer in the game.

Ask yourself why it is being used so much...

1) It´s finally a doctrine that provides a tool to suppress nasty blobs - which to be honest should be punished. The MG42 is garbage, so you pretty much have to use CAS in competitive games.

2) German tanks:

a) The Tiger proofed lackluster in the recent patch. It´s a beefed up Panzer IV, annihilating infantry - but rather lacking versus tanks. The survivability/ health is low. It get´s instantly defeated by Jacksons.

b) T3 is useless versus USA. T4 is too expensive.

c) As Ostheer tanks are unsatisfactory once a USA player is in the game, it´s better spent on converting ammo.

3) Ostheer is lacking ammo anyway.


--> It´s pretty sad that fuel conversion > tanks. But that´s what you get if you introduce a 240 damage, 60 range, highly mobile tank destroyer and P47s to the game.

--> It´s also a good counter to blobs. If the MG42 doesn´t do its job, expect people to use a doctrine that can (lel).


I see the doctrine as justice served. It counters abusing blobbers and borderline OP Jacksons, if you don´t pay attention to the smoke. Ostheer players adapted to the abusive gameplay. Now it´s the other sides turn I guess.
