Huh? Shrecks already aim and fire pretty fast. Shrecks are not the problem here if your talking about T70's. If you make it so a T70 can't get anywhere near them it is the wrong approach in my eyes. The problem lies with the pak40.

If Ostheer plan a solid trap with a Panzershreck/Pak40 the T70 has no hope of living. Now since there is no cheap mines and no ATG camo in CoH2 you have to depend on quick timed combined arms hits. Without hold fire on anti-tank guns this is next to impossible when a T70 is led by Conscripts. Always knowing where your opponents pak40 because it fires at infantry first is a major failure of the game.

Likewise with that mentality even the shreck/faust method should not really work as often as it does if only more T70's are led by conscripts. I feel I beat Soviet Industry style of play simply by waiting it out and looking for that moment where my opponent does not have proper vision. This means I constantly move my shrecks/pak40 to regions where listenning in the fog of war I expect them to be. They make a mistake eventually, or I use recon run and breakout aggresively.

That timed shreck/pak39 assualts were the best method of countering an opponents well microed M8 in CoH1, and likewise a similar adjustment can easily be made for CoH2. Combined arms should always be the key focus and not one unit beats this. Relic just have to give us the tools.
