How to beat sturmpios with anything that isn't conscripts:

"It works best when you pull the trigger" -Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool

FF is by far the worst TD. Not sure how people think it's somehow good. Super vulnerable to blitzing P4s or Panthers, super vulnerable against ATGs and handheld AT. Cant reliably penetrate heavy tanks and has a reload that makes you wonder if the thing is bugged. Just spamming 6 pounders and using the fuel for AVRE, Comet or Croc is WAY better than going FF

As someone who builds FF every game as brits, I'd say this is wrong. The FF may look bad on paper because of its long reload, but the first round goes out just as fast as others. I know you know that the FF deals 200 per shot, but a lot of players don't know how useful that is. The FF combo is probably the fastest burst damaging combo left in the game. You can take down a 640HP medium in about 11 seconds if both those shots pen. That's faster than ANY other TD in the game including the StuG and JP4. It won't win without support like the jackson, and it won't self spot to 70 range like the su85, but 11 second TTK with about 9 seconds TTK at vet 2 is pretty strong when your opponent steps a little bit too far forward with his P4 and those mistakes can be very costly.

Try 2x paks into p4 against 85s. The p4 alone is no match for the 85s, but 2x pak guns makes any tank nervous.

Use your HMG42 range to push and suppress entrenched guards then push with LMG42 grens.

I'd say Pgrens are situational and map dependant. Schrecks are good on the defence to cover tanks and pak guns from flanks. They shouldn't be rushing guards from 35.

Brummbar should still be able to shoot while buttoned with attack ground. Use that to injure or wipe the buttoning squad or reverse away. You can also push the squad if you're on top of the squad to cancel the button.

Werfer is decent vs guards since they don't like moving. Also good vs the HM38 and all support teams.

Certain doctrines are very good at shutting down other doctrinal units like the 34/85. The Elephant can 3 shot the 34/85, but you need to protect its flanks.

Panthers are decent but you need to keep the 34/85s away from it when outnumbered or you'll be overrun by mark target and volume of fire + ram.

Assualt support doctrine ju87 mg strafe insta pins infantry and is REALLY strong. That doctrine is in dire need of a nerf. Comes with OP frag bombs, tiger, MG strafe, opels that cost 0 popcap, arty officer for 2x werfer. You can use the MG strafe to shut down for mother russia instantly. I think it's overall a net loss in munitions between the 2 but it'll force a retreat. So long as you have more territory you'll gain more resources in return.

mines win games. 34/85s are phenominal, but they're no match for heavy armor in a frontal slug fight. If you pull out a tiger or elephant you force him to mark, flank and ram. If they hit mines though their push fails.

B4 is really cheesey, but it's easy to counter with jaegar armor.

Except it does function as a heavy counter at the moment. It beats the Comet and has a slight edge over the Pershing.

It's the IS-2 specifically that beats the Panther, and that's why the IS-2's been a problem child since GCS 2.

What I'm suggesting is bumping down its health to make it equal to the new Pershing. Same with the Tiger.

I wouldn't call it a heavy counter currently. Beating a pershing isn't really warranting the "heavy counter" title. It's the lightest of all heavies in the game. As you said the IS2 is currently superior, and I agree. The panther struggles vs many other heavies currently though. Churchill variants, KV-2, ISU-152. And it's not that it can't pen them most of the time, it's that their HP pools are just so massive that the panther cannot deal with them without being in range of super TDs or AT walls. Its current design is more of a brawler tank that loses to things that outrange or outlast it.

Personally I'd say the best heavy counter would be one that could 1v1 a churchill and win within a timely manner. The way the churchill is currently though, nothing can kill it in a timely manner.
