I gave up on using the soviet scout car. An upgunned German AC tears through them. If he rushes sniper scout car, like Sepha said, avoid combat. If I waste munitions on Fausts, I sometimes can't upgun my AC right away. Just get an AC and watch it Vet up while destroying every scout car he has.

I would suggest building 3-4 conscript squads. If you're not seeing grenadiers or MGs at all, and suspect pios/scout cars, consider skipping molotovs and going for AT nades first. Keep your conscripts near each other, but not blobbed. 1 AT nade + small arms fire beats a scout car.

I would follow up by picking a guards doctrine and building T1. If he went T2, there will surely be PGrens. Float manpower after you have 4 conscripts and AT nades. If you're dealing with more scout cars and half tracks than you can handle, grab guards. If you've been killing vehicles just fine, expect PGrens. Build two snipers, keep them together near your conscripts. PGrens walk in, start sniping. He either loses the whole squad after 2 volleys or retreats and the manpower bleed begins. Penals and scout cars dont do you much good, but 2 snipers put a LOT of work in.

At this point, you have a choice between T3 and T4. My rule of thumb is this: If I've dominated the map and feel like I have a huge fuel advantage, I go T3 and rush a T34. If you're ahead, this will keep you ahead because it can deal with infantry whereas an SU-85 can't. If the fuel/map control remained fairly even, go T4 and get an su-85.

Oh, and punish him if he retreats. Attack cut offs, steal as much map control as you can. (This is every game though)

Hope that helped!

Seems to be fixed now.

I'm just curious if anyone else is having problems logging in to the Relic forums lately. For a while it would just time out, and now it goes straight to a 404 page (It says "Mayday! Mayday!")

This has been going on for a while.
