Hey guys, I often play Osttruppen, but I never use the trenches. Now I know they can be really strong, so I'd like to ask strategists / players for advice on how to use them:

Where do you place them?
Does it ever backfire on you?
Do you find it worth it over sandbags?
Any replays of trenches being used well as ukf/ost/okw?

Here are my (L2P ) observations as a worse player:


Make double Panther next time, KT and Raketens not gonna do shit against 2 Jacksons and 2 Scotts. Para's are a dead giveaway of the kind of composition your opponent is going for.

Make an MG34 to secure ground after making gains with your Falls. Even infantry heavy players like Kimbo make atleast one HMG at some point in an even match. This mostly applies to before the double Scotts ofcourse.

Don't put LeiG's behind a wall. It will arc up its gun and miss every shot as a result. Also the reason why none of your opponent Pak Howi's got above vet 1 or got any wipes.

Safe for the AT strafe more often. You somewhat overinvested in anti-infantry, which your opponent exploited by putting all his pop into tanks. The only two strafes came after the 50 minute mark and did well at breaking up your opponent's armor. Now imagine 2 Panthers to take advantage of such a situation.

Don't fire the Stuka into the fog of war. Use it reactively or scout with smoke recon. The Stuka only started getting some kills in the last 10 minutes when you barraged infantry that was actually in sight. I personally don't think it's worth the pop against a mobile army controlled by a responsive player though.

Agreed that Soviets could get access to another healing source. I think the Soviet M5 should be able to lay a med kit for 15 munitions.

Requiring either Med truck or Mechanized before Sturmpioniers can place med kits sounds fine to me, no reason OKW should get the earliest healing without any additional investment. Letting it require veterancy 1 is a really bad idea however.

Pak drop pretty decent now.

My Panther throws still as bad.

All okw infantry can afaik.

WFA a bit dumbed down at places.
