I only use Reigels in the doctrine with spotting scopes and Elefants. But lately I've been using the Elefant doctrine with the Command P4 because of obvious reasons.
I love reigels, much like I love USF's M20 mines. They can just be hard to use because they are hard to keep them out of battle long enough to get into position. They also take forever to lay.
The prob is that Riegel is totally nullified by USF Super glue ( except the damage )
I think in general the Vet 3 survivability is way too high now making blobs often unstopable in vCoH only Wehr had a similar defensive bonus and it wasn't too effective blobbing with them, looks different here.
RA will not really help against Suppression, explosives, arty. Blobbing is still very easy to punish on this game
Go for firestorm doctrine, BAM!
You have muni sink and infinite MP.
Its perfectly possible to build and sustain 3 volks 4 pfussies and upgrade them all, you have no MP problems unless you throw yourself at gunpoint, you have map presence and control, you can get armor supporting you for either more AI or AT.
Sure, OKW doesn't get MP for free, but they hardly lack it if you don't overextend and don't lose models for little return.
3 Volks and 4 Panzerfusilliers is the perfect plan to bleed MP and to be crushed by the first Medium tank
It was never possible for airborne and it isn't possible for rangers either. And before someone asks, no, you also cannot give your medics 2 bars, I tried
- I understimated Lelic on that point
- Double upgrade is still a thing if you are fast enought on obers and volks
- Well, medic dont have weapon slot so it explains that.
