There are many:
Elite Troops
Armored Assault or Advanced Warfare are a must
Luftwaffe Support
Mechanized support (one with Assault grenadiers, etc.)

The Skfz 251 halftracks were actually married to German panzers starting from 1941. They were initially one company and then became one battalion (for each regiment of tanks).
Elite divisions like the GD eventually had 2 battalions of mounted armored troops for their tanks. |
The Fallschirmjager: Do you find them worth it? I looked once at the price (420 MP, 75 muni) and I thought that it was far too high. The PE can build assault infantry for 360 or upgrade their vPzG for 255, 75 muni (IIRC).
With LW doctrine, only the Henschel and LW squad looks useful to me. The Henshel is probably the best munitions strike in the game. It makes me prone to hoard munis just to use it. |
There is no such thing as females and especially female gamers on the internets. |

I find panthers to be very strong as well, but like the Sherman 76... unaffordable for a while. I do Stug spam, then Panther.
The PE panthers come across as being more OP than the Wehr ones due to the teching and the price.
The StUH comes across as being optimally effective in pairs or trios. |
To me, this is just a top doctrine like elite troops. |
T-34/85 doesn't have the front armor stats compared to the Panzer IV. It still needs to flank P4s, while P4s can pen it from the front.
This doctrine gives them a mid game tank that allows them to stand up the germans toe to toe. |
M18 seems to require more micro (stealth) than the M10. I found the M18 to be worse than the M10 in team games (3 v 3) |
condemnation wings is probably the best player I have seen because his army is often doing multiple things at once and doing them well... |
Both are useful, although the window of opportunity to use them are short. The PzG ht murders conscripts.
By the time my halftrack blows up, my panzergrenadier/grenadiers are often vet 2. |
