Title: Ultimate Russian inf killer
Post by: Daiwiz on March 08, 2010, 02:52:49 AM
Get a couple tanks and squish them all. Another possibility is to get an mg with a tank sitting beside it. MG quickly suppresses and the tank runs over the Russians before they can heroic charge, hopefully. If not, squish the major.

Optionally, replace the MG with a Wirblewind or the Werh AA tank (Name escapes me) This will also make it difficult to run by. Mining will also work, if you are forced onto the defensive (as you most certainly will be).

My opinion on counter inf-spam  ;D Have fun.

Thanks mate, that's what I meant.

As anyone reading can tell, I like the crush abilities ;)

the Wirblewind and Ostwind?

Either or. Wirblewind for the Panzer Elite, and the Ostwind for the Werhmacht. Use these two to suppress the blob and use the armor to squish said blob as quickly as you can.
Note that I haven't tested this yet, but I plan to do so.

The ostwind sadly doesn't suppress at all, no suppression modifier

Hmmm, thought it did suppress. An MG42 might work then, main issue is the ensuing charge.

But if they support their infantry?

Support your tanks... PaKs and Snipers will deal with the armor and AT guns

In all honesty I put this up for a laugh, but are people really seeing something of use in this?

In VCoH and nearly every mod I play I use the crush feature to eliminate entire squads quickly.
This of course can also be used by the T-34 as it is a pretty fast tank.

Ye, always support the tanks. Ninja PaKs and your precious snipers will eliminate the dangers. Then you just suppress, and squish. One of the good things about this plan is that because the Soviets have no retreat they have to have either their HQ squad or unsuppressable units so as to get away fast enough.

I would use the snipers to hit the command squad and get max points :D

Kill major, suppress the stupid Russian infantry with two or more MG teams, and nebelwerfer their butts. They will pay dearly for their mistakes.
Or wait till you have enough points, and call in a King tiger, and get 4 vet level 3 Greandiers with 2 Mg-42s. The russians will be on the run, then its just about getting land and amassing Panzer 4 or Panther tanks.

Given that some people also mentioned ways to kill Axis infantry, I know another funny one. Get Shermans, get crab mine flails, turn those on, drive through infantry = problem solved.

Cheers

Here is what i do; Greandiers vet 3 with two MG-42s and 2 volksgreandiers with Mp-40 upgrade. Most Russian squads will be suppressed due to the massive amount of lead flying at them, plus it is rather cheap if you wan to use the fuel for units like the Panther and Panzer 4.

All you really need is one Volksgrenadeir (with MP40 upgrade), one sniper, and one mortar throwing down defensive smoke

I allways upgrade Churchills with mine "Jaws". Works well with tank shock.

Its funny how instead of the tank running over the infantry, the infantry runs into them :D
