So here are some things i would to share about how i built my tatra 1: the PaK 36 37mm heat shell behaves exactly like the puppchen and can be used exactly like a less stealthy but higher range PzSchreck (it cannot one shot heavy tanks but it can deal effectively with shermans and other common mediums), i bring it instead of the schreck, find more useful more times, although it can be painful in town centric maps. 2: i try to “hide” the supply truck, specially on those tiny support tab divisions it can really help sneak another support unit or a commander, i hid mine in the Flak41 since i usually dont need to bring most in and helps keep arty prices reasonable. 3: SS-sturmgren has such poor availability that i rather bring in a middle income phase (A for maverick, or B for Vanguard) 4: i like landesschutzen because it helps give the extra long range to survive A, plus they still act like great meat-shields for cqc 5: i feel you are sleeping on the Pz III recon, i find it to be a very capable unit, to the point i consider a must have, its just that good having a self spotting medium tank, specially the pzIII chassis 6: i would spare pioneers for B phase in a maverick income since they tend to fare better than sturpios imo 7: i find redundant having both PzGren and Ss-sturm on same phase since they are somewhat similar long range squads. 8: i would consider taking marders in A, they are such a cheap PaK40 platform that i also consider them a must have 9: while i agree jagdpanzer IV tends to be a brick wall for allied divs i often find its availability lacking.
Great thoughts! I love pz3 recon, but I don’t need 8 pz3. They are great to sprinkle in but become redundant in large numbers imo. Perhaps supply on the 88 is a good move, didn’t think about it. Not a huge fan of pioneers, they tend to just die to other pioneer units. Landesschutzen I could definitely be talked into
If you are talking about the pak 37(t) 47mm, it should actually (most likely) be named pak 36(t) 47mm as it is a reused Czech 47mm gun built in 1936. There are "many" pak36 as the number gives the production year.
@@freddolegros6038That is another mistake by Eugen. My books list it as 47mm 36(t). But that is not my original problem. Check the unit card of the 37mm. Below the picture it is listed as 36(T).
I notice you always disparage the Bren but say you like the MG26 (t). Both have identical stats, except the Bren has +17 rpm rate of fire (240 vs 257) so is actually a better automatic rifle. Of course, it depends on the squads overall loadout & what MGs other squads have in a given division. Only having MG26 or Bren in a division sucks, if you have no squads with double MG42 etc... Not saying you're wrong. Just something I've noticed. I'm hoping the Bren gets a slight buff in the next patch, as it was one of the best LMGs of the war. Much better than the BAR, which for some reason has +51 rpm rof, bespite having a 20 round mag, vs the Bren's 30 & the fact the bren could be reloaded very quickly by an assistant gunner, while the under mounted mag of the BAR was considerably slower to reload.
@@steffent.6477 It's possible the Hetzer had taken damage already & the Pak38 hit was enough to take out the last few hitpoints, though I think that would still require a penetration, unlike incremental damage from HE, so perhaps not.
@@Rooster---oooThe PaK was the only thing shooting the Hetzer and it has no HE shells. Somehow it must have penetrated the front armour. Checked the replay. Hetzer was damaged by APCR on about 900m range but thew last shot was AP on the same distance.
@@atkpwrgaming Very true, in my opinion, the most broken ones are going to be the big red 1 and 101st Airborn, I did not see anything spectacular with the German divisions besides the one with veterancy applied for all units
loose 1 or 2 of your Aufklarer units and again you are going to suffer recon deficiency. SS-Schupo may be poor fighting units but they double as recon when stationary. I'd take the fighters in B Phase - who can afford to bring in large amount of bombers in A phase and you could lose a flakviering to arty. If you think close air support planes have wide turning circles try using them offline against the AI - they never shoot on the first pass and need to circle back around, then if the AI is too close to the bottom of the map (player side) they will not shoot at all as the required turning circle is too far off map

nice..thankyou for the cast
Thanks for watching!
Feldjäger are also available in Kampfgruppe Tettau.
Oops thank you!
The 37mm Pak 36 shouldn't be a (t). (t) means tschech (czech) but the Pak 36 was a german build gun.
I do not see a PAK 36 - 37mm with a (t)
@@k98_zock_tv47Look closely at the unit card

Its not the pak36 rather a czech 47mm pressed into german service
were you out somewhere when you recorded this? the audio sounds kind of muffled.
Yeah I was traveling sorry!
Funny thing: Tatra has single Panzerwerfer at vet 0. 116th has 2 at vet 0 and single at vet 1.
Yeah it’s apparently a historical reason for
That. The division only had one

The Bren just seems to function much worse. Remember that the unit card is liar, the Bren is actually worse than it looks
I once killed the polish Hetzer with a Pak 38 50mm frontally^^ No idea how. It was shooting my Pak.
Was it an APCR critical damage hit?
@@Rooster---oooI didn't see a crit text show up.
@@steffent.6477 It's possible the Hetzer had taken damage already & the Pak38 hit was enough to take out the last few hitpoints, though I think that would still require a penetration, unlike incremental damage from HE, so perhaps not.

Checked the replay. Hetzer was damaged by APCR on about 900m range but thew last shot was AP on the same distance.
@@Rooster---oooThat bloody Hetzer had killed 2 Stugs 3Gs already on about max distance while it only got surpressed a bit.
What are your opinions on tribute to normandy altogether?
It will shake things up that’s for sure. 99% it’s absolutely broken at the start, I’m just hoping it doesn’t stay that way for long
@@atkpwrgaming Very true, in my opinion, the most broken ones are going to be the big red 1 and 101st Airborn, I did not see anything spectacular with the German divisions besides the one with veterancy applied for all units
One thing ill say, you should reconsider if 20mms are useful.
Watch the video from today with hobo and you will see why they suck 😁
@@atkpwrgaming use them against infantry
So sad that a 105mm gun from 1914/1919 has a better RoF as the 18M developed in the 1930s.
Yeah it’s really weird
İmagine building one of the best mega spammy division in the game like atkpwr LOL.
I like doing things through hard way and encouraging people not to play that way haha
I think you can bring spw222 with the scouts at the arty tab no?
No idea never even looked!

Yeah those have been pretty disappointing, agreed
Volkssturm have better than average stealth btw
Good catch!
Single MG and rifles doesn't qualify as meaningful long range infantry nowadays even if not disheartened.
thats not true, it just depends on the value for the price.
They aren’t powerful but at the right price they can be good
