I just throw tanks at both Wehrmacht and PE alike, works for me. My build order if you want to try it:

1. 3 Igenery(Send 1st and 3rd squad to cap points, 2nd will build RA tent)

2.Next is preference:

-Either go with some conscripts(I don't due to the fact that 2-3 Ingenery do the same job but better, because you can cover more ground)

-Get a command squad(If you plan to get this unit do it early so they rank up and you get great bonuses. But they're not so important where you have to get them at the start of the game for 2 reasons. 1 you need to cover ground as fast as possible in the begging. and 2. They are too expensive for a starting unit)

-Or Tech for your Support Barracks and/or Tank Hall(I do this because I normally have the resources by this time to do so.)

3. Upgrading Your Tank Hall and/or Support Barracks

-Upgrade your tank hall and/or support barracks so you can start building better units while your Ingenery are moving up and maintaining your territory.

4. Better Reinforcements

-Now before you start building tanks I recommend one thing get upgraded SU's first, you'll save yourself a lot of frustration and resources trying to use SU-85's. Sure SU-100's arrant cheap, but they're a lot more efficient, same goes for T34's.

-Or start building your sharpshooters and mortars, etc. Again I recommend upgrading your mortars and AT guns before you even consider getting them.

5. Try and eventually upgrade all units you plan to use and repeat step 4.(I also try to get a IS sometimes if I have enough resources)

Normally, when I win I come out with:

3 SU-100's
1 ISU
1-2 IS
3-5 T-34/84(I think it's 84. The upgraded one. lol)

Just my BO if you want to, play around with it and correct any errors in my plan that you run into. :)

Hope it works for you.

But I will also pull out of my ass a Jagd, 24 panthers and 13 marders. Oh, and you can't win without an ATHT. :P

Kinda pointless advice to say you just get all those tanks and win.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
