Even with that, dodge TRUCK arrives a bit later then M3.
US needs to acumulate 20 fuel to get it, soviets only 5.
Don´t you start with 15 fuel as Americans ? It´s still 5 fuel for both but without spending MP and fuel on T1, and waiting the construction time of the M3. AND without losing capping time at the beggining. AND stronger since Rifles > CE/Penals/Cons
If double OH: fast tech T2 for either pak40 or 222. Vs double american i would say pak40 instead of 222 cause you might face a AA HT (which renders the 222 useless). Use 3 grens 1 mg to stall the jeep.
If OH + OKW: you can invest a bit more on T1 play with more Mgs and make your partner get a rakentenwerfer
Use houses, DO NOT PUT MG42 inside houses unless you have a gren nearby and even then i wouldnt do it.
Do not go for the faust unless you have something nearby to finish it off (another faust, rak or maybe an MG). He is just going to dismount rifles, chase you, exit crew and repair.
Bars aren´t the problem since by the time it arrives it should just be like some DP Guards inside. By that time you should have plenty of counters are your disposal (Pak, mines, rak, shrecks, 222, mines).
