Hi,
So I started playing this game 3 months ago, this is my first RTS game, I used to be a MOBA player so I'm totally horrible at managing multiple unit. However, I'm getting better at it.
I mainly play Axis and prefer 2v2 / 3v3 with my friends. There are some questions I would like to ask
1) Is SU is a better faction than Wehrmact in general? because from my view point their units are just too multi purpose, conscript can have AT grenades, molotov, oorah , or penals are still pretty strong against infantry even with PTRS
2) How do you use Tiger VI effectively? I never managed get my Tiger VI to Vet3, and it's really hard to support sometimes when soviets got KV-1 flametank, the Incendiary Artillery Barrage, IL2 Sturmovik, they just kills / force my infantry to retreat, and then ram my tiger with their tank and throw a satchel charge
3) Is it worth to invest in sniper when playing 2v2? i managed to get 10-20 kills with my sniper, i tried to use it since I start watching some games that are casted by tightrope / stormless
4) how do you decide to take which point in 2v2? my friends and I usually decided to hold 1 fuel and the middle VP, I'm not sure if this is a good idea. The problem with this is sometimes the enemy just start to cut off from the unguarded fuel points until near my base, how do I deal with this?
5) Is 2 grenadier is enough ? also what happened if you vet 3 grenadier gets squad wiped? do you start replacing with a new grenadier? I find unveted grenadier sucks in the mid / late game
1. No they are not. I would say: go m42 with 3 grens and 1 mortar will be the standard case. tech to t2 and get a pak and flamerhft.
2. The wehrmacht tiger is atm not the best Unit I agree. Try to hold fuel, so that you can tech for normal tanks and not only call in unit.
3. Yes it is worth it. Esp. vs brits and usa. Vs soviet cons play its not worth it. And it depends about your personal mirco. If you can mirco the sniper and also other units at the same time. 10-20 kills in a whole 2vs2 game is too less, sorry.
4. Build a bunker or mg to cover the flank. Also you and your friend can try to make a 1vs1 on each side in early. It really depends how you guys play and feel.
5. Depends vs what you play. Vs soviet and usa are 2 grens to less. Vs brits are 2 gren enough, when you get sniper and mg.
About lategame: Yes vet 0 grens in lategame suck. Go for mgs and pios with flamers or panzergrens.
