Bren carrier?

Screcks, fausts, Infantry halftrack, focused fireing, and alot of other ways.

But yeah i do agree, that they pwn. Me, and my partner, has gotten a 35 winning streak in 2v2 AT, using them.

(He does, i just spam mg's and snipers ^^)

That's the number one reason to play P.E./Wehr: Their anti tank weapons > everything else in the fucking game.

Agree.
The only times I have big problems are when its absolutely vital to take control early on. I might try just building the halftrack building and panzer shreks right of the bat instead of waiting a bit.
But yah, PE for the AT and the hummels (mostly take the tank hunter tree- hetzer spam ftw).

Inf-Halftracks are definitely good, because they will let your squads fire off their guns, without getting suppressed. This is enormous in terms of gameplay.

You might even launch an Inf-halftrack with a Shreck squad in it. That'll throw a fast ball at your brother.

Probably a squad with shrecks. You want to get that Panzer Support shit up with the Shrecks. Don't bother getting the squads they cost a shit load of man power. Just get a regular cheap Grenadier squad and arm em with TEH Shrecks.

I think hes on about early in the game, when its kind of hard to buy upgrades at that period...so yea.

Well, see Heavy Guns' post, he's got heavy guns, and he knows.


Overall, you want something good, and I'd go with the 75 munitions. Because 360 man power for 3 peeps is rediculous. Unless you go Tank Destroyer and then get frickin 2 shrecks per squad which is OOOWWWWWNAGE.

But then make sure you increase squad sizes so the squad can take more pounding.

The Brits are fucking unfair as hell when you're playing as the Wehrmacht.  I almost want to stop playing the game altogether when I get owned in like 8 minutes because of them.  Their structures and infantry can kill shit SO fast and SO easily.  It takes a whole Volkgrenadier squad to take out one basic British Infantry soldier.  The trenches take hardly any damage from direct mortar fire and the infantry don't get killed from directs mortar hits either while in the trenches.  The only weaknesses they seem to have is that it seems to take forever for them to make units of any kind, their armed structures take up population, and their tanks are kind of easy to kill.

You're not playing the game right.


You don't whore Volks, you escalate, escalate, escalate.

Get some Grenadiers with MG42s and Shrecks.

You have trouble taking on British infantry? You obviously have never heard of a nebelwerfer. Ask Mac how much he hates them.

Also remember, that if he stuck his men in a trench, that means he has one less squad for capping and offensive power.
