Ive been playing exclusive Ost 1s and 2s recently and having tried so many strats. The only one that consistently has any weight is heavy t 1+2 into Stug E.
Its the manpower saving of Stug E that makes them so good. So you can back them with plenty of squads and paks. They are cheap so vet up quick and have target weak point, which combined with paks is lethal against counter mediums.
Theres no other way to command most of the map and be able to punish inf and vehicles early as Werh.
Id say Stug E pen could go down slightly. But Ost needs some other buff, like cheaper MP tecking. |

Just use true sight to protect your tanks while bringing paks forward, covering the paks with the tanks.
Its more of a problem in open maps (for Ost with no JP4). If you dont go elifant you'l just have to use forward paks again and try to defend them Vs inf. |

Units that make sense. Coh1 commandos wore Paras maroon beret.. NOT commandos green beret. |

Vet 1000 kubel |

Thats what rifle upgrades and call in units are for: to cover the gaps from the tiers you chose.

Whenever I use lightening war, I just dont have the muni for the strafe. Between G43s, tanks MGs, a couple tellars, fuasts, occasional rifle nades etc I just dont have the muni.
Also im starting to feel like I prefer going 1 P4 into Tiger rather than 2 Stug E into Tiger. P4 is more durable and useful long term and allows you to use a tiger doc with more useful abilities.
Its hard to ignore elite troops as well, instant vet 2 P4s is like Ost only equivalent to 34/85s or Easy 8s. Which bridges the mid game nicely and eventually leads to the Ace. Armour preservation is particularly important here though. |
|
Just make sure you first field 2 grens for each MG on the field. Just like you wouldnt have mortars operating on their own.
I agree USA has all the tools to deal with them.. however they can be a thorn in USAs side. So just dont get too many right away, and heavily support them and micro them also. |
|
It is bloody hard work trying to play Ost. Im on the brink of just reverting back to perm soviet player. |
|
Would be awesome if someone could do a comprehensive guide to Werh early game starts vs usa.
Im really struggling with that match uo |

I like T1 T4.
Loads of cons plus an M3 flamer engie gives easy map control. Focus on denying early fuel.
If you succeed, they will get a pak for AT, build a Katy as 1st unit and punish the little defence of pak and MGs.
I like T4 for many reasons:
SU85 has more bite if they get strong tanks, and is perfect synergy with con spam which will prevent SU85 being flanked (AT nades), so 1 SU85 is more viable on its own.
Same for Katy, they cant reach it thanks to hordes of cons (in theory).
Katy+Bombing run > T34s for AI. |
