The Stug when it has the teeniest bit of health possible and all my shots with AT guns and even a Pershing bounce right off and the asshole gets away. JUST DIE ALREADY!!

He did follow your advice and he did do much better. I immediately played to his previous weakness and had some issues, by the time I recovered I thought I was screwed but Hertzers to the rescue!

I found the AC was the answer to my question, the supporting fire of the AC mid game is enough to give my PG an edge and early game it will inflict huge losses if used right. Loving it and Strelky problem solved, with the big losses early game the blob never appears in full force late game.

I know a lot of people are saying use Fallshcrim but I find them very weak against Strelky for some reason. Maybe not enough Vet into them because of the time it takes to call them in (3CP).

Then why was it that I was getting nailed by a ZIS and when I went to use incendiary rounds the MHT had to move forward to be in range?

Looks like you have some troubles. This combo is soooo easy to beat. Katyusha is really weak. Make AC or HT with PGrens with Schrecks and make a raid. Snipers+Zis2 are really easy to counter with MHT and inciedienary rounds. Use 2 at once to gain devastating effect.

It's all good and well to say make a raid but 2 AT guns will eat an IHT before it even gets close and that's not mentioning the penetration on soviet inf weapons, not saying it's OP just saying it's not super easy against a skilled opponent.

MHT works but the drawback is that the ZIS out ranges the MHT by quite a bit so if it is an open map with little cover you get 2 shotted before your second round even hits the ground which to me is a problem with the ZIS balance they have crazy range.

You just have to use MHT or AC support and hope he doesn't have an AT gun to hard counter those too.

Good to know someone is having the same issue hard countering Strelky. Unfortunately I usually play against a friend of mine and he always has Strelky covered by AT guns and Katyusha and then tends to claw back along the map until I can get some heavy armor to start pushing back. Thankfully because of early map control that is usually not to far away.

I hear what your saying but a few times now I have had total map control early on, my enemy controls maybe 2 or 3 sectors. Usually most of my PG are at Vet 1 when ppsh Strelky hit the field and it just goes south from there they keep pushing me back at every engagement and I lose a lot of ground sometimes losing a whole 4 man PG squad in a matter of seconds (5 PG squads MP44 vs 4 Strelky squads, I always use cover), usually by then I start to have some tanks rolling which is a help, It's not like I'm being steamrolled I just feel like there must be a better way. I am also finding that even triple vet the Strelky rip right through my PG making a late game advance very difficult.

Strategy and Tactics / PE counter for mass Strelky

Just wondering if anybody has a better way of dealing with vetted Strelky as PE. I tend to use Panzer Grenadiers with Group Zeal and MP44s but I find in the mid to late game once Strelky are in large numbers with ppsh in almost every confrontation I take heavy losses albeit inflicting heavy losses to, the problem is that if that keeps up for long my reinforcement cost wears me down eventually not being able to reinforce enough troops to deal with the increasing Strelky. To make matters even worse I am often engaged by Katyusha before I even make it to the Strelky. Moving a tank in to take down the Katyusha sees AT guns turned on my advancing armor and the Katyusha speeding away into the distance never taking any real damage.

Panzer inf tanks mow the Strelky down but they are always covered by AT guns which with their huge range means my tanks are kept at a distance forcing my Grenadiers to try and move through the Strelky pack to remove the AT threat which never ends well.

Also this is speaking from a perspective where I have owned 2/3 of the map all game not just owning 2 sectors and expecting a miracle.
