Ultimate Russian inf killer
« 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 ;)

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.

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.

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.
No one can stop the German panzer divisions.
