How many STUGE does it take to kill a IS-2? This replay shows you how many! MVGame

Funny game. Much close calls. Such anal penetration. Wow.

I set high goals for my own units because STUGE potential is infinite! Trolloloolololol

gg wp 50mins~

Hey Stephenn, I am still not quite familiar with the current patch change vs few months ago.

1. Is it worth to "pay2win" up my AC / flamethrower HT? I don't see much difference between vet 0 and vet 3
2. Micro of assgren, treat them like MP40 Volks? Or run and spray like PG?
3. Is it really no way to detect your famous demo?
4. Recrew with Pio, or Grens? Does it matter? Excluding reinforcement cost.
5. Is it really true that after 10 mins of summoning Tiger Ace, resource come back online?
6. Is StuG III worth to build now? Last time while I play they were trash and free exp for the Reds.

Hey Porygon,

1. I don't know what you mean by "pay2win" units like AC/FHT, but if you mean upgun them then yes it is still worth it provided the situation calls for it.
Upgun AC when there are M3 scout cars present or you need a form of AA in the event you can not get T3 up in time.
Upgun FHT when there is Soviet infantry which will be relatively unprotected from such light AI.
As these units gain veteranancy, they get minor benefits to their combat roles but large scale benefits to the units in support of the AC/FHT. Balance wise I think it is now fair incomparison to the vet2/3 AC/FHT that used to become OP killing machines.

2. I use Assgrens similiar to MP40 volks, by supporting MG42/snipers in the event my opponent wishes to be aggressive against these units.

3. You can detect demos and then shoot them. Just get a sweeper and keep your distance to shoot them.

4. Recrewing with grens is better because the crew will hold the higher armour value in comparison to pioneers. Obviously there is that trade off with cost though.

5. Yes, resources begin again after 10 mins.

6. Stug is a great tank, especially on more open maps where your opponent goes T3. It is probably also the best non-doctrinal counter to IS-2 and KV8 which are now common tanks used due to their low CP count.

If I am going to go for Penals I build my T1 tech at the start with my engineer. I will then proceed to purchase 3 conscripts before buying my first Penal Squad so I have more capping power. At this point I proceed down many paths in terms of unit composition which is often dependant on both the map and my opponents unit composition.

With 3 conscripts/1 penal as the basis I will continue with Penals in the following manner, but keep in mind I find Penal based play a bit more early doctrine reliant opposed to other stratergies.

• Guards and/or Sniper, T3 for 1 T34, upgrade DP machine guns, back tech to T2 for Zis3 (Closed maps).
  
• Guards and/or Sniper, T4 for 1 SU-85 (for Ostheer armour) or Katuysha for heavy T1/T2 play (Open map).
  
• The Soviet Defensive doctrine complements T1 Penal play really well with the light ATG and DPSK HMG. 3 Conscripts, 1 Penal, 1 DPSK HMG, 1 light ATG then do whatever.
  
• M3 Penal flamer, Guards with T2 back tech for Zis-3 or ATG. Works well when you aim for immediate heavy tank and your opponent goes for heavy T1-T2 play, especially with 2 MG42's mixed in for the early game.
  

Hope that helps!

hahaha he accused me of cheating aswell and then just went afk, wasted 10mins for me to kill the base.

Funny chap.

ppsh got nerfed though

Exact post

"wooof: cons used to use the singleplayer version, now they use the multiplayer version (the one shocks have used this whole time). the old one was much stronger and way underpriced."

Wow I wasn't even aware of that. Thank you!
