You realize that the mg42 doesn't know where you're attacking from too right? Difference is, if the mg42 guesses wrong (or is flanked) it can often result in a wiped (or even stolen) mg. On the other hand, the riflemen can simply retreat and no harm done except a failed attack. Setting up mgs requires similar "intuition" to flanking mgs.

If you want to see the enemy before he sees you, use m20 or pathfinders. This encourages combined arms just like having pios spot for mg42s.

Can you remember us the pioneer vision range?

I feel like a prophet always talking about Jesus WC51 rush vs OKW. Here again, I will.

RE start = occupy critical house
1xRE - capping duty
1xRM - waiting at the map entrance
WC51 - load your RM and get a ride. Use the push technique to not let his squad in cover.
2xRM
1xCapt - keep him at your base to faster the next units building time:
1xPak
and in the order you want:
1xStuart
BARs
Grenades

With this cheesy strat, the more the OKW player is pushing you early game the better it is.
1- He put his ST in a house at your cutoff, cap around and rush his cutoff/kubel/volks. You'll see his sturm coming back asap and pick him like a cherry on the top of your birthday cake.
2- he chases your RE with his ST, rush him with the WC51 and rape his ass. Next go for his cutoff/Kubel
3- always focus to take him his fuel point, you have to pay for your 40fuel WC51, so don't lose it, cut his fuel and link it to your HQ the longer you can.
4- Your WC51 and the Rifle inside will vet really fast, I mean do not be surprise to get vet2 in less than 5 minutes.
5- no manpower bleed. If you don't lose your WC51, you'll suffer near to 0 manpower loss.
6- You're pretty sure he goes T1 because he need shreck asap and heal.

The only counter he has early game is to stick his troops together or early raken + fast T1.
But at your level, lower but around mine, you'll pick up each of his squad 1 per 1 and completely destroy him.

tips:
If he goes sturm + kubel push, a WC51 is still a good option, unload your RM in cover at distance of sturm and focus fire on it. Adapt depending on what he is focusing usually your WC51, so unload + retreat the WC51 to keep it at support range.

Do not underestimate the point blank damage of the WV51 crew: if he is rushing your WC51 from flank and you see it cannot make it, press D + T button to unload your RM first (instant) and the crew (3sec delay), you'll ripe him. You can also only press T to unload all of them (3sec delay) but careful to not lose the WC51/crew + your squad because of the delay.

Spios as starting unit are mostly fine.

If there is one thing to complain about, its the free 100mp OKW gets at start over all other armies.

OKW wouldn't be the special snowflake otherwise.

Except ostheer and OKW haha

I would like to see a little delay of like 1-2 minutes of vehicles.
In my opinion the vcoh USF was a great example, 1) 4 rifle bar tech 2) 3 rifle early nade tech 3) M8 rush and it was all viable to some extent. Atm in this meta you know there are no nades coming, Mo early bars but early vehicle, every.time.

Correction.

Vcoh USF had a T1 Jeep to hunt snipers and to go non-meta 4RM start, USF could also build T2 first which, in a 1vs1 perspective was suicidal but much more interesting in 2vs2 and above teamplay. Last but not least, you could go T1+T2 as USF to have a strong infantry play but no AT.
Delaying light vehicle play by 1 or 2 minutes is just a way to make Ostheer/OKW early game more powerful than it is. the M20 which is the best light vehicle in game is perfectly balance vs Ostheer/Sniper/grenfaust and OKW/Sturm-rape-pio/raken/vshreck.

I found a good tactic actually.When you see a mg setting up in a building , go near to it and start firng. When it has set up ,go around it and continue fire .

Instant set-up make it complicated.
