I feel like I can put so much pressure early game with PPSh Penals. 1 CP and you can push hard and use a con squad to field reinforce + retreat (something you lose bonus on with shocks). 2 CP and you can set up a airdrop to reinforce mid field and heal. After that you can help push with a half track and a SU-76. They're an investment that really pays off at Vet 3. Satchel is a great squad wiper/building clear to boot. |
I'm so glad after years Penals finally feel right. In the beginning they were an awkward unit that was mid/long range but had a close range satchel charge. Then they became a anti tank unit primarily. Now that we can give them PPShs they finally feel right - A suicide squad who charges in and blows up the entrenched areas at great peril. Great work!! |
Extremely good guide. Great to see this company getting used. |
The stormtrooper icon is replaced with a panzergrenadier face when you are in the debriefing post game (such as mvp, assasin or meat sheild).
Thanks! |
Watch the whole replay. So OKW won easily. The OKW killed like 9 emplacements. The UK emplacements can't fire while bracing so.... they were ignored during brace and killed whenever it was down (which is how you defeat it) |
You can also charge an ISU if you use a smoke mortar barrage which eliminates his range advantage |
This 4v4 shows the Soviets controlling the map for most of the game. Then Panthers come out and get massed and ROLL the Soviets like a burrito and come back to win with 8 VPs left. They could have destroyed the Soviet bases. Please feel free to comment on strategies the Soviets could have used to stop this but this seems like a great example of the Panther being a bit too good in 3v3 or 4v4 Multiplayer. As you can see the Soviets just could not stop them. |
Great usage of Fhq, lots of good hit and run. I wanted to show a good example of fhq used in a team game properly. By no means perfect, it ultimately was a very game changing element of a large game. Only 1 was built |
A good rough idea of how these units can be used well together. By no means unbeatable it is a good strategy to switch up stale soviet play. I lost a penal squad stupidly to my own barrage but other than that it all went smooth. Enjoy and comments are welcome. |
