IMHO, in 1v1, the best way to beat that heavy bastard is to sneak into defense & heavy flank it with puma's, target weak point his fat ass and watch it burn ! However, you can choose Breakout doctrine & try to counter it with Jagtiger ... Last luxuary option : rush for KT.
I dont like the new ISG. Before, with sturm off and old stat, the ISG was decent. Now its a overpriced piece of crap. I prefer 2 sturm flaking squad or/with AT HT or special op nades.
For me, 3 volks then MG and Puma is the best safe opening. You can virtualy deals with riflemen or conscript/penal spam in early with mgs and garnizoned/sandbag volks. At 7, the puma can counter any M15A1 or stuart opening.
All is in the title. I struggled against his infantry entire game, managed my puma/Jagpz to kill his sherman ... but unable to break his riflemen vet 3 wall.
I got two flack trucks in the middle of Kharkov last night plus spam of schreck volks+obers.
Seriously, what other thing can I do besides spamming Katys and let them rain death from above?
At least AT guns should realliably kill that building, but they do few damage and Flak Truck has more LoS than them. Should I be forced to take a recon doctrine to safely shoot it? Maybe downtech to T1 for making a sniper spotter? That's BS.
Agreed, camping with T4 flak right in the middle of the map should be punishable. Can we think of another way to punish it that won't also horribly punish everything else except tanks?
OKW players also shouldn't be punished for putting their forward HQ just outside their base. Katyushas can reach so damn far and wipe-wipe-wipe.
Cooldown is so fast, by the time you make it back to the field, you have to retreat again. And please note - with Stuka, you can dodge to the side, not retreat. With Katyusha, you cannot dodge because the attack area is a huge circle. You retreat or die. And often retreat AND die anyway :/
What I'd like to see:
1 - considerable damage decrease for both units
2 - cooldown to be the same for both units. Over a minute.
3 - damage modifier vs ambient buildings for katyusha rockets.
I totally aggree with that. The problem is that the gamplay OKW is wrong. Relic wanted to make the OKW as Brits in TOW, but without the ability to take the points and weak structures. The consequence is that the majority of players play OKW as other races can not reap the benefits of the sWS gameplay. Its a fucking nonsens.
The kat buff was the last utter relic BS. Seriously WHY THE HELL SOVIET NEEDS THAT BUFF ? They have heavy mortar, best off map arty, best on map arty, ZIS/SU76 bombing ability ... and now that shit. I dont get the point ... I dont get why they gave them the ability to RIP OFF units before retreat and rape base. WHAT THE HELL RELIC THINKED ???
Seriously, Im fucking disapointed. The matchup is soooo stupid now. Mine/Zis-MG Spam/ Go for T4 > GG ...
