I do. And actually I don't get my Scripts laughed at, because they are supported by penals, that comes riding SC and later M5 (more resistant). They burn to toast mortars and mgs, while they are trying to pin my conscripts. Ya know, you really have to know how to micro a SC in order not to lose it too early vs a faust shot. If you don't, you can't play with this tactic. Because inside penals stay in green cover, have an increased 15% weapon lethality of course and usually they kinda toast/shot any gren squad aproching for a faust shot. So cons are never alone on the field in my book and I play agressively and atack cutoff points denying fuel. Later on I support my troops with T34s and when german player manages to build one Panther, I ram it with one of the T34s while the other one or two finishes it off.
That's what I do and it seems to work. I don't lose my time with tones of snipers that can be lost to a lucky mortar shot. And I use mines. As many as I can.
Thats a good tactic actually. Gotta try it myself. My point is that Germans dont really need to adapt and can easily live out their old #SNF5 Habit which is spamming Grenadiers.
The Soviet player has to do the complex thinking and adaptation with now inferior units while the German player can easily spam his buffed Grens and expect the same or even better results.
