Finally got a Flack halftrack to vet 5 I really struggled vs the US Blob but in the end halftrack just killed everything puma and jagdpanzer IV have nice synergy puma spots for jadgpanzer and can chase and kill heavily damaged tanks

I found a few ways to be effective vs m3 the raketen bait is probably the best, I go a bit further and bait it with a kunbel the m3 just rushes to the kunble every single time and the rakenten is waiting behind, once in suppression mode kunbel actually deals damage to m3 like a regular mg 42 (I think), so one raketen shot is usually enough.

Another way if you struggle to keep raketen alive is getting mines in the flanks, m3 flamer strat usually means no minesweepers.

You can also try early flack halftrack it will kill m3 really fast.

And of course as soon as possible volks with shreks maybe even put munitions transfer after halftrack is built to get shreks.

Anyway those are my thoughts from playing the game, in the end its all about your play style some of these solutions might work for you others might not.

I hope this replay can still be watched don't think any patches have been released since i played this match

So the map is langres if I'm not mistaken, starting south I was just pushing with all infantry north until panzer IV came out then I really started bleeding mp got an at gun to scare it off got Sherman and Jackson.
End game was one big push with infantry and off map arty on mg and pack, and faced 2 tigers and panzer IV, got engine damage on both tigers and took them down got the panzer IV later but lost my tanks, saved vet crew from Sherman though, then called in another Jackson and Sherman opponent got another tiger I damaged the engine, Jackson and Sherman took it down

So this might be a bit of big reply as it covers both uses vs US and soviets

Against US it comes early enough to push back rifles (assuming you control your side of the map), get your AT gun after halftrack and maybe go as far as putting munitions transfer after you start building halftrack, to get a faster shrek on your volks.
keep these units together at all times and facing us halftrack usually means no bazookas for awhile as your opponent probably rushed for it keep it at bay until puma is out.
If your opponent is not careful his halftrack will die really fast even without puma.
facing bazookas means delayed halftrack, keep a clear line of sight avoid firing at ground elevations and cover or halftrack will be useless.

When facing soviets its all about their openings, vs m3 or conscripts its useful vs maxims don't bother as at gun is available and will kill it in 2 shots and the time it takes to set down and run away second shot is fired, I prefer to go for early support gun followed by the panzer 2 circle the AT gun and punish the only maxim oppening.

Now to the exception of m3 were early munitions go for flamethrowers always have at least 2 sturmpios with mine detectors and sturmpios will annihilate any suicidal conscripts that try to AT nade your halftrack, your army must always be together volks close by in a house if possible an AT gun is always nice even if there are no tanks it can destroy opponents cover and lately it seems more deadly vs infantry.

Dont forget to salvage everything in your path maxims, at guns, and carcasses.

Those are my opinions that I have gathered trough my own experience

Perhaps its to early to tell but i think its fine the way it is it can come really early if you chose to open with the healing truck instead of the other one but you become more static.

Great range, good damage and the best part in my opinion is it can bring down houses really fast which is something the OKW lacks (no flamethrower, grenades aren't that effective unless you use the doctrinal grenade assault)on maps like semoisky, kolodny it feels really strong.

I use it to tech fast to tier 4 so I can use the panzer II
