Probably an old question but I don't know the answer:
If they use vetted flamers into heavy MG42 (2-3), what is the US counter? 2-3 m8s? WSC? I can see a couple of snipers being very powerful but susceptible to mines and early Pumas or Ostwind.
Another strat I had trouble with was MG spam on langres (US in north position). he had 4 MGs and then went straight to Puma and StuG combo. I built a fairly quick m8 but it didn't seem to clear enough for my rifles to have an effect, and ran into the T3 fairly quickly.
Sorry, the replay is on another computer. My problem is I saw what he was doing but wasn't sure of the best counter. So far only suggestion I got was be patient, try to hold what you have, and build a couple of snipers.
The first and foremost counter (which people often forget to mention ^) is to be aggressive in the early game with your Rifles. MG spam need time to set up a wall, don't let them have that time. If you do it properly you can beat MG spam with just Rifles no need to race (or at least can hold them long enough) for Sniper or M8. If you fail to do that and lag far behind then even Sniper and M8 won't help you.
If you're new i suggest getting a Jeep as the first or second unit from the barrack to scout what your opponent is doing/building and where to flank. It's cheap and has low upkeep, you can still go 4 Rifles without much affecting your mp income.
Ab not good against t3 perse. I think rangers are better, plus they come equipped with zooks. So you put the muni to use in mines that you would use on RR. You really need AT gun, but rangers better than paratrooper as last resort, against T3. And really T4 is the counter to wehr t3.
I usually play as wehr, but started playing US lately. At my lev (about 13/14) I'm seeing a lot of t1-t3 play. Still trying to figure it out myself. If you don't have mines down and you're holding off with only Rangers or Paratrooper, and even 1 AT, you're done. It's very difficult to beat.
I usually don't play t1-t3 when playing as wehr, but I'm finding it really difficult to beat. As US, if you go Bars, you spent fuel before his tech choice. If you go M8, it'll help, but once stugs and storm roll out out, you're now out teched. In the latter, your M8 can hold off the puma/s, and then you can go AB, para and At guns (in preparation for Stugs), backed up by snipers. But if you go bars first and don't hold him off fuel, you're in trouble. Mine spam to hold off until you can get T4
No i don't think US T4 is the counter to Wehr T3. With T4 you can hold off his T3 for sometimes but when he has 3 Stugs and starts vetting them up then AT guns is a must, with M18/Sherman fall back to support role (they are quite good at that).
As US, proper counter to T3 (or any Asix Armor forces late game) should consist of combine arms with AT gun as stoping power. You can't get away without it against good opponent.
