Another subtle way of dealing with snipers is grouping your PzGrenadiers up and rushing the sniper(s) each time they reveal themselves. Usually you'll force a retreat and that means you won't have to worry about him for a while. It's a great way to reduce the snipers' efficiency when you don't have a counter at ready. One thing you didn't mention, and works great vs. sniper spam, is the use of a mortar halftrack. I wouldn't suggest getting a mortar halftruck solely for taking out snipers, but when your enemy is going heavy on the infantry, killing snipers can be it's secondary task. If you keep your halftrack alive, it's a matter of time before a mortar lands ontop of a sniper. It may sound random, but that stuff happens all the time because your mortar halftrack will start auto-firing as soon as a sniper reveals itself. If your opponent isn't constantly paying attention: Boom!
You can cloak your ketten with Luftwaffe doctrine. This allows you to be undetected and spot snipers. Then flank with armored car,scout car, focus fire or whatever.
Basically i go 2 engi, 1 jeep and then from there i get the triage/medic tent whatever that is. then go mg gunners and pair him up with another double squad of flamer engi. from there if the enemy goes for vehicles then i pull out the at gun.if not, i field out another jeep(assuming if the first survives) and used it to scout and hit and run. if panzer comes out, then i place tank traps around his cut off point and lace it with mines to discourage the curious.
mid game usually will consist of 1 at gun, 2 mg/flamer engi squads and 1 jeep just to recon. Also, 1 hellcat/m10 just for mobile anti tank( the at gun will be stationary at cut off point
How do I counter AT Gun supported with Sharman Tank+MG Team beside. It can fend off my Panther last battle as PE. When I start drop motor shell, they start to know and change position of AT gun. Battle was about to win but eventually they get Calliope Roacket Tank and beat me hard. Actually I was stuck.
An AT gun and an MG are facing units. You can flank them, put artillery on them, or mortar them, as you said. I'd guess you really lost earlier in the game because they were able to get to a point where you couldn't kill them, though.
thanks! also i will try to get raid as soon as possible from amoured division. i know theres not much of a fighting force in the begining but its more towards harasment.
one typical stratergy of mine against PE anyway is very manpower hungry but boy does it work(most of the times) usually i start of with two engi and then one jeep for harassing. then i move up until i make a mg gunner. from there my engis go flamer engis. so against their infantry i set my mg up for surpression and flank with flamers. 95% kills most of the time. not sure if it is very usefull but it is for me at least. for at i go with the at gun. think you can help refine the stratergy?
This is usles agains airbone because the have strong AT ppower and crush your cars, and you can charge wiht your troops because snipers spanw are very strong i play with PE and i know the PE can´t defeat Americans Airbone
please help, how do i counter the rifle spam with panzer elite, tried many things but eventually the americans get too much riflemen that even two armored cars won't do plz help
When I play against the Americans, I personally do PG spam with a couple G43 squads in the early game. They can beat Rifle spam if you keep them somewhat close together (not blobbing) and go for your opponent's cutoff points. As they fight the riflemen, I also build T2 and T4. My goal is to get an AT halftrack to deal with the potential early M8, and then T2 for the panzershrecks. If I think I need tanks, I go for the Hetzer and dual Panzershreck upgrades from the Tank Hunter doctrine. Armored cars are good ONLY if you rush to them and can get them before your opponent gets an M8 and you still have a way to deal with a potential M8. Otherwise armored cars suck. You should also always kite with armored cars and never face 2 rifle squads with a single armored car.
thx for the tips really helped, but personally i found out that T1-T4 seemed to work better, increased squad sizes really help you PG become even more durable and powerful, and AT grenades work wonders especially with AT halftrack's ability "Treadbreaker". One more thing, what do i do to counter American that starts with weapons support center and spams MG, it's really annoying especially if MGs are in buildings at key points
the us player is a noob, PE is the easiest faction to play against I use jeep to spot and riflemen and 3 snipers and its always works many pe player rush into my base but mines always hold them back

Best PE Anti-tank when you hold no fuel... Hetzers...

u forgot he vampire halftrack that has the best sniper detection when steal ability is turned on. i use that all the time

Don't get a tank destroyer, PE only real threat of tank is Bergetigere and Panther call-in. Your tank destroyer will just get obliterated by a Marder.
nice! I still dont understand why you don't have more subbs! Keep these vids going! :)
I hope we will see more of your videos soon!
try to rush it ... build grenadiers from the start and then attack directly.

if you can show me on a video how this stratergy could work it would help me out really good.
Can't you get a mortar ht to counter the sniper? Or maybe a funk wagon with Goliath?
He can micro the sniper and your mortar HT will do nothing.
i like that idea
i'll post more details if you want, just message me

frostkillht
To counter WSC, get light vehicles. Americans can't counter them with WSC unless you sit in front of an MG.
+frostkillht just spam assult granadiers spaw 4 squads and they will wipe them out...
@@evil_voidxii7317 no riflemen backed with 3 snipers or flamer and jeep can easily wipe out 4 assult grenadiers
Sniper are easier to counter than mg spam while playing PE
He should have countered your mines by throwing grenades or mortar.. gg
Are you the guy from the show Silicon Valley? 👂
the us player is a noob, PE is the easiest faction to play against
I use jeep to spot and riflemen and 3 snipers and its always works
many pe player rush into my base but mines always hold them back
you know im one to watch alot a video's but when a person starts talking and not doing that ruins it for me but hey, im entitled to say my views
