thiz rakten is awefull in okw hands..but in someway good when cpatured by sov..cause of 6model crew it desont die in mostly 1-2sec after the enemy see it.
Build a Vickers and watch how OKW can't kill it properly.
Build a Bren carrier and watch how the Raketenwerfer misses it on a regular basis.
Lategame Churchill can easily win you the game since OKW has only slow firing AT options (Panther and JP IV). All this coupled with cancer Bren blobs and you are set. Enjoy the underperformance of the MG34.
technically the jp4 shot fast..but since it have lower pen than allie medium tanks..it will bounce alot on this thing ...so yeah..church is one of the OP tank imo since it can take dmg like a KT but axis has less potent AT options...so its more difficult to deal with church as okw as to deal with kt as allie...since one allie TD bully kt easily
I usually get nades as UKF. They're dirt cheap and they're the best way I've found so far to make up for UKF's indirect fire deficiency: flank their MGs early game and use a grenade to wipe them.
They also deter Volks from closing and using their flame nades.
i had massive succes to flank on teamgames with 2-4 tommys at start retreating units/ following mgs crews with grenades...so less ppl expect such flanking and early grenades....which wipe very often
Currently I think going 4x Tommies and a Universal Carrier will allow you to compete with the standard 4 Volks spam. Usually, I tech after getting my base composition and then focus on getting a sapper to repair the UC and an AT Gun to help with vehicles if they show up. If the opponent decides to go for a Panzer II I generally will opt for an AEC to counter, otherwise focus on teching for a fast Centaur or Cromwell (if he has medium armor already). After that generally a Firefly into a Croc/AVRE or regular Churchill is recommended. The Comet is great currently for it's cost so I wouldn't recommend going for it. You can also spam Valentines if you want and that should work unless your opponent builds Puma's and out-micro's you or uses HEAT Rounds which are really good on the revamped Elite Armor Doctrine. I would say only get Weapon Racks and Nades when you find yourself floating munitions.
exactly this. Tommys with some upgrades can really well deal with volks. bring them in cover and wonder how fast they bring volks in trouble.
It is all about the T70 timing if you tech molotovs and at-grenades first the t70 will arrive pretty late and has troubles countering a p2 or let alone a 251 with flamers or maybe even a 222. Soviets do not have light vehicles in their tier 2 their light vehicle phase (beside the m3a1) starts after axis light vehicles and is bound to the third tier.
i seen m3 driving aournd the map in under 1,5min. with a penal or flamer sit in...
