Profile of Angrade (Ægion)

Panzergrenadiers with 1 Panzerschreck were tried in the original CoH2 Beta. It was a bad idea, it just made blobbing stronger because you would have 3 rifles per Panzerschreck, effectively being both AI and AT in one unit.

Are the new sturmpioneers going to be like this, having a shreck and 3 stg 44s. But wait, they also will have the bugged stun grenade for stopping retreating units and have better vet. This might be a new problem.

I would disagree. (have not watched the replay)

Making rear echelons with M2 flamethrowers non doctrinal is a bad idea. Riflemen are already the most adaptable infantry in the game with their smoke grenade. rear echelons can just walk up to a building and burn the crew too easily. This is where the new mortar comes in.

Riflemen and rear echelons can also be equipped with bazookas to push back medium and light vehicles.
Other riflemen can be equipped with bars to more than crush okw obersoldaten.
The buff to the HMG can now make it fight against light vechicals.

Two jacksons (still cheaper than a king) can kite all day against a king.


Here is my doctrinal advice.

M1919 can rip apart squads

Mechanized Doc
Okw still is weak to the Wc51 truck. In the preview they still need to build a HQ before they get panzerfausts. These trucks can hunt down the halftracks and destroy them or push okw out of sectors such as fuel. Once you see a built truck or a panzerscheck, withdraw and refit. Now you can get out some Stuarts and withdraw and refit to Jacksons

Rifle company does have the flamethrowers you want
White phosphorus is still good
Easy Eights are good force other tanks to be built other than saving up for a king

In the upcoming patch notes, the M2b MG will get a pen buff from 3 to 9 and ap rounds. This will it to allow fighting light vehicles such as the 222.

Why, do people think G43's are bad on Panzergrenadiers? They increase mid and almost double long range damage, and has better move accuracy. You are able to move in closer while still dishing out a large amount of damage. Personally, I have had a G43 PG beat two Rifles at long range, all in light cover.

STG 44 close :15.78
STG 44 Far: 1.86

G43 close: 14.73
G43: 3.26

Grenadier's MG 42 Close: 7.66
Far: 7.19

With the 2 G43s on PG you are almost doing as much damage as grenadier with a mg 42. Not only G43s are cheaper they can move and shoot, so in my opinion they are better than mg 42.
