I would very much rather gren just getting a combat performance buff, maybe a received accuracy buff or something.

Its the design philosophy. Vet 1 only unlocks things, except for okw volks and stuka zu fuss.

Combat buffs would be vet 2 or 3. I agree that grens are too fragile.

So, any ideas about the vet1? How do you like the sight buff? I'd say just buff sight by 5. The long range infantry should atleast be able to shoot at, well, long range.

Agreed, that's why I love camo on MG42s so much. Setting one up in cover and then ambushing attackers is so effective.

I'll try locking down one half of the map instead of getting greedy with harassment in early game.

Yes it is indeed . I played against it once as UKF and damn but it was terrifying to move forward.

On the harrassment: depends though. Against UKF it works wonders cause they're even more defensive-ish than ostheer in the early game. early 222 wrecks shit

I'm picking up on that recently, I think I've been playing them too much like Soviets or OKW. I don't have Kubel and Sturms or ConsConsConsCons to try and bully the other guy.

I'll go back with a different mind-set and see how I go with Mechanized and Jaeger Inf.

The early game goal should be:

1 vp, 1 fuel, 1 munitions at bare minimum. Against very agressive players even that can be a struggle to attain.

I always feel that the main issue is grens. In the early game they're good defenders but bad at attacking without mg42 support, but the mg42 itself doesn't work well in agressive pushes cause of its long set up/pack up. If you can grab something though, then that hmg42 turns into a beast.

These days, grens are pretty fucked unless you have vet/lmg advantage, and even then better pray that the tommies are not in green cover. Sniper works best in my experience.

Team weapon spam is tougher. What I normally do depends on the level of the spam.

If extreme amounts of team weapon spam: 1 sniper and 1 or 2 mortars, focusing on his mortars first, then maxims, then zis. Use hmg42 to stall maxim rush. Preferably by putting behind cover. Use HT behind hmg to continually reinforce it (a shotblocker is best, if available) Grens/pio/pzgrens to flank & sight/screen as needed. All this is basically a stall, don't push & let him push (unless fuel point is lost). Meanwhile, build caches & tech up t4 and rush werfer fast as possible.

If moderate (i.e. combined with core infantry/shocks too)

Similar tactic, but use second hmg behind first to stop the con/guard hordes as first hmg will invariably be supressed by maxim rush. Keep a pzgren squad around to protect from shock flanks, but keep it out oh their LoS unless you absolutely have to commit. Element of surprise and all. Keep mortars on hold fire untill you sight a nice cluster, then BAM.

If you're facing both at the same time (armor spam & support weapon spam) then you're basically fighting 2v1. Get your lazy ass mate to support you. Nobody wins a 2v1.
