Panzergrenadiers with schreks are quite good against the AEC, but arrive after the pak and cost 120 munitions. To be used as a counter to the AEC they must be rushed, so it means that the Ostheer player will have no LMGs on his grens, which make the fight against tommies really hard ...
Go Sniper then? A good tactic is to screen your sniper with Grens and faust the AEC if they give chase. If you nab a hit then get your AT gun in position or get your pgrens up and you will kill the AEC in one salvo on top of the faust.
How is AEC rush any different from rushing a Stuart or M10 besides it comes out faster? for the UKF it's almost guarenteed that they'll get one too unlike USF where they could get either. Also IS suck compared to Rifles
Just give me something that can counter sniper + Osttruppen horde and you can nerf AEC as much as you like.
This. You haven't seen an early game crush until you've tried UKF vs Ostruppen.
