Thread: Counter vs. Shocks..?23 Jan 2014, 16:46 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jan 2014, 13:34 PMKronosaur0s MG42 doesnt supress anything till the second burst (happens to me) and usually, shocks have enough time to throw a smoke grenade, or just run in front of your MG, they get supress at half distance, throw normal grenade, and kill one by one the gunners of the MG with their normal weapons... In my opinion, they are too strong, come on, they counter every infantry the german player can field... and they are 6 man, so its REALLY HARD to wipe out a squad or even kill any of them due to their armor. i agree, + 1 In: Ostheer Strategies

I ll always have my bet on Russians when two equally skilled players play against each other! In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: How to survive as Germans in 2v2?23 Jan 2014, 13:19 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jan 2014, 08:29 AMrafiki But i agree shock are not easy to deal with. But there is possibility as said before or in other posts. You have to adapt your build to what sov do. They can't do everything even in 2vs2. No,they are not easy to deal with,that s what i am saying,its harder because one little mistake costs you a game easily like losing a sniper or a halftrack... In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: Counter vs. Shocks..?23 Jan 2014, 01:18 AM Jump back to quoted post17 Jan 2014, 02:39 AM1[][] Flamethrower halftrack and skip the sniper. Bad cost/benefit. I often see ostheer players bring halftracks out with flamers guarded by AT guns. That's what you should do Remember to kite them always. Best bet is hard counters, MG+AT+Halftrack Flamers. But you knew that already, right?... Honestly Shock troops needs a heavy nerf, no surprise you're on here asking for tips. It's a nightmare to exterminate a squad due to them being so numerous, and once they gain that EXP... GG. Either that or Relic releases a special expansion pack with Totenkopf, Das Reich, and leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. How's that for deadly. When you pull out your halftrack to counter shocktroops,zis gun is on the map already waiting for you to come...one good shot is enough, and german snipers are owned against rusian snipers easily...playing with shocktroops is just to easy as they easily counter every german infantry and just own the map. with good player microing them,they are very hard to beat,especially combined with zis and mortars..they need to be nerfed somehow In: Ostheer Strategies
Thread: How to survive as Germans in 2v2?23 Jan 2014, 01:09 AM Hawk,this problem of yours is not just your problem, this is what i found to be a major balance issue,and i really hope devs will recognize this and fix this very soon. Playing as a german is much more harder now as russian can own everything you throw at them. Shock troops are just too strong as early infantry unit in the game,making them very hard to counter,and have easy map control. Prior to that,their tanks came out way early then germans do,and mixed with shocktroops owning everhything on the map combined with tanks...well, is just very hard to counter if you re still playing with halftracks at mid game..
