2 SU vs 2 OKW Proper Battle

Map: Vaux Farmlands
Players: 4
Our rank 2v2 Allies: 481
Length: aprox. 38 min
Our commanders: Counterattack and Shock Rifle
Their commanders: Special Ops and Elite Armored

Battle plan
Against 2 OKW we need something to deal with the blobs => B4. HE$HER usually plays counterattack so he picks that commander.

We need something to hold the line => Shock Rifle Frontline. Shocks to keep their infantry busy, incendiary barrage for their bases, IS2 to have a chance at late game. I am used to this commander as well.

We find this combination to be the best against 2 OKW.

Early game
We get dominated by kubel push followed up by volks and flak halftrack.

We are in damage control mode at this point and thinking we will likely lose.

Mid game
They follow up their strong early with Stuka zu Fuss and Luchs and concentrate against HE$SHER to try to finish. We defend with multiple ZIS and try our best to micro our shocks.

We hold back this difficult push. Follow up with SU 85.

Late game
They spent considerable resources on AI vehicles so we exploit it by calling in IS2.

Take over mid of map from where we can dictate the direction of the game.

IS2 is supported by at guns and SU 85. They try to counter with Jagpanzer 4 and a Panther but we have too much AT at that point.

They dig in more and try to use their volks shreck blobs which turn out to be great targets for our B4 and they have no answer to shocks.

Panther gets off a good flank on SU 85s but is not able to finish them.

B4 has 26kills at the end. 2 IS2 + 2 SU 85s to finish the game. Panther dies while trying to finish an IS2.

Side note
Both sides used mines extensively.

Highlights:
Clutch luchs kill in the middle.

Shock vs blobs combat.

B4 shots on target.

Good mine explosions.

Good micro on their part, the flak halftrack survives most of the game.

Comeback after bad early game. (in our opinion)

Soviet armor push. Some dangerous commits from IS2.


Good plan and unit composition on their part, it was a tough game for us but a lot of fun!

Hope you like the game!
