best way to counter an allied blob?

[orlathebeast]

i simply can't counter an allied blob, my infantry get cut to pieces, what am i doing wrong?

[The King in Yellow]

nothing, its poorly balanced right now. 2 MG42 maybe with 4 gren squads but they will have snipers. wait for balance patch to fix allies.

[Bentorius]

MG and Mortars

[Axis For Braindeads]

if something gonna fix, trust me it will be axis. espacially arfica korps.

From the battlegroup trees. Air support, like strafes and artillery.

Or trucking in heavy artillery and using it properly.

The Walking Stuka Rocket Launcher is absolutely devastating.

The Stug III, if protected, at closer range.

Flak Half-Track if you keep it at longer range.

I haven't seen anti-infantry mines yet in this game. No idea if they have them. But I've booby trapped points. There's a lot you can do.

I remember when it was an unwritten rule in CoH I not to use strafes. It was frowned upon. If you did it, you were chastised as a player.

Forget the rules. Start artillery bombing & strafing the hell out of them.

i tryed the mg thing but they simply wave them with countless bodyes while the snipers take them down... it's not fun.

Not to sure about whermacht, but with DAK early light armor seems to help.

surrender

2 hmgs will be enough to supress blobs, just put some infantry in front to provide visibility. Other option is simply to avoid blobs, just do not engage. Go to other parts of the map where blob is not present.

[Fuzzyballs01 ꦙ]

well some infantry units can hide
other units can attack at long range

hmmm, I wonder if those two are in any way connected? if only you had units that could appear behind enemy lines somehow?

[Solomon Kane]

Propaganda DROP, watch them run again and again,making them useless

Exactly. Tomorrow 27th monday this happens.

Afrikakorps Armored Reserves Deployment Upgrade cost from 150 Manpower and 50 Fuel to 200 Manpower and 150 Fuel.

Afrikakorps call-in Costs increased for Assault Groups to 600 Manpower, and 80 Fuel.

Afrikakorps Tiger cost from 900 Manpower to 800 Manpower and 180 Fuel.

Increasing the build time of Afrikakorps Panzergrenadier Squad from 13 to 25 seconds.

Fixed an issue where American AI overused recovery vehicles if they took the Armored Battlegroup.

"Edit" well, nevermind i think that change already happened. I thought those things will happen at monday but i don't know anymore.

[RTK | I3]

They should not be able to spam an inf blob and get snipers before u get hmgs or half tracs

[Zenone]

i came here with exactly the same problem, need a balance urgently in the british, its very broken

[dr46onfusion]

To be fair, US Army and British blobs are the only way to play those factions, to play them otherwise requires insane levels of micro management at all levels of the game for one person.
