GG, Sandbag Powah!

What Neo? You counter the most expensive TANK DESTROYER in the game with a TANK?

PD: In team games, artillery would be destroyed anyways by other players with recon + bomb.

First of all, the elephant is not the most expensive tank destroyer in the game, the ISU is by 35 fuel and some manpower.

Secondly, Soviets have no infantry-based AT so yes, of course you have to counter the Elephant with combined arms.

Thirdly, I don't have a problem with people working together to destroy artillery. The problem I have is that the Elephant doctrine comes with everything you need to counter anything the Soviets could possibly throw at you.

Fourthly, the ISU is just as OP as the Elephant if not more OP right now. Both need hotfixing ASAP.

Go 3-4 cons + molotov.

You can build T2 just in case since your partner is going T1, but don't produce anything out of it unless you really need a mortar/mg. Don't produce AT guns - they cost too much MP to be used effectively with Windustry.

Build T3 as soon as you have the fuel for the building - this helps you get the extra CP you need to start getting more fuel.

Never build more than 1 T70 and/or M5. They seem great early on but lose their value later in the game.

Use your T70 to destroy enemy paks, scout cars, halftracks etc. in that order. Focus on eliminating Paks first and recrew them with your cons if you can.

Build your first T34 as soon as you can and use it together with your buddy's SU85s against enemy P4s/heavy armor.

If you've been dominating the fuel, get a KV8 as soon as you can and focus on wiping as many squads as you can.

Don't bother with KV2, it's not worth it.

With this doctrine infantry unit preservation is crucial, do not lose any cons in the early game. Losing a tank or two is not a big deal if you make it pay by killing enough enemy stuff.

Finally, Windustry works better on open maps with flanking/roaming opportunities like Moscow Outskirts, Rails and Metal etc.. Don't even try to use it on maps like Semoisky Summer, Minsk Pocket etc.

54. Germany had superior weapons and tanks. That's why they won the war.

Ostheer being the easier faction for some time seems to have softened up a lot of players.

Exactly. There have only been very brief periods since the game was released when Soviets were OP. The rest of the time Germans have been far easier to play (starting from Opel + Strafe through to Grens pwning Cons in the previous patch).

The reason we're seeing all this crying now is that German-only and German-preference players have got used to winning games against people who are better than them and now that the game is the closest to balanced it has ever been, it feels unfair to them.

After a month or two, this QQ should die down as ELOs get adjusted in line with actual ability.
