If you want a semi hard counter to heavy volk spam, there is a little known soviet commander called, wait for it... ANTI INFANTRY TACTICS. (yeah I know, right?)
Now it may normally be under used and is slightly weaker than the relatively more common Terror tactics.
BUT, good use of fear prop, and flame arty, both which come early and a fast KV8, is doom for a blob of volks.
Use fear prop to suppress the blob, some will retreat, attack, follow back to their medic truck, flame arty it and press attack. They will either take huge losses, or if forward retreat and they cancel and retreat to main Base, kill the undefended medic truck. |
Panthers cant counter IS2s? |
Vet 5 volks blob.... Ooooh you've got it easy, in ma' day we had to face HMG spam, game after game.
HMG spam??.. LUXURY! We used to get flamed to death by 5 min FHTs, IF we wer' lucky!
FHT's? We woulda dreamt of FHT's! We had to chase SU85s with extended vision and reverse speeds as quick as our tanks, and PAY Relic for t' privilege!!

But the enemy can still build units that arrive from whichever side of their.Base they want to kill the Mg. |
The reason in theory I like it, is I prefer panthers to Tigers. So this doc would give me better inf upgrades.
But in reality, if you rely too much on core inf for too long, squad wipes often take their toll on 4 man squads. |
It has high mobility and an Mg for a reason. Its not meant to sit at max range. |
Not to mention it does one pass before doing circles for ages before secobd pass. So easy to shoot down and limit to just 1 pass |
Best doc for not tecking as OKW is elite armour IMO. Jagt with rakketen in building will hold the line until 9 CP. Then you spam Ausf. J's to make up AI power which you will always lack without Obers. Double Spio and kubels for early AI.
Trying to go Spec Ops tier 0 is going to leave you very weak in AI. |
I have no advices yet, but I trying to make a big guide about this doc. Only i can show you my replays Enjoy!

Thanks for the replays. I struggle to last until panthers when I try to use this. Would you not recommend for 1v1? |
Positive is if this patch is not evolving around customs, its more likey to have good balance content..
We can dream. |
