how to counter italys op artillery and proto tanks?

[avann4858]

so i was playing a game today ffa against 3 other italians lol and i was ameriaca, all 3 of them spammed the superheavy tank and italy super long range arti, they kinda killed each other off one only winning because he was able to spamfaster than others, meanwhile im just camping in my little corner with like 200 jacksons long range arti and bombers trying to hold out, when tthe last guy came after me first he bombed me with arti for like 10 min then he came in with like 300 of the superheavy tanks and just completely rolled over my anti tank army such bs, i tried bombing his arti with mitchells but he had tons of anit air and fighters so that didnt work, jw if its even possible to counter them on here lol

You waited too long. Also, American anti-tank is only useful if there is a meat sheild infront of it; such as other tanks in your case. You need pershings in front.

lol italy is the weakest in the game in long admin games all you need is Heavy tanks + armoured arty/assault guns and they literally dont have any units that can counter them effectively

They are better in the smaller sized games.

1st you waited way too long to attack, they could easily build a huge army and you were just camping in that corner. second, italy isn't that good, you could have easily surround the area with super heavy tanks(because you had a lot of time i gues). but the most important thing is to weaken you're enemy before he weakens you.

You shouldn't keep your army in your base like that. Because if your army gets destroyed, so will your base. And like everyone said, YOU WAITED TOO LONG :P.

lol yea i proly did, but what i forgot to mention is in beggining of the game they all rushed paratroopers and anti tank weapons and aa so basiclly the woods around me were laced with ambushes, also i attempted to do the same thing abd it didnt work out so well lol, and also i found the persian to be super sucky i liked the super pershing from the xbox 360 but im not sure how to get that on here

also very early in the game i tried spamming shermans but one guy had his area set up with bunkers and they absolutley wrecked my tanks so i gave up lol, thinking about trying out germany heard they are extreme powerhouse

You have to make a move earlier in the game. He set himself up to supress you and you have to fight earlier and steady to keep that from happening.

i spend early game trying to set up admins so i dont run out of money

Well first off letting somone build up like that in any game or any nation is not a smart idea...For Italy its kinda the worst because they are one of those nations that can not be stopped once the have the economy to spam their P26 heavy tanks. There is not really anything you can do once it gets to that point unless the player is completley incompetent.

Making admins at the start is a huge NO NO. If I knew my enemy was doing that, I'd know he wouldn't have much money for defence, so I would rush as well like the AI did. Make depos, they give a lot of money, and expand. The more you expand, the more depos you can get. USA should well overpower Italy if you research the right things.

Yup.

The Italian P26 super heavy tank is quite inferior to most nations super heavy tank. americas super heavy tank would of been the best counter for your cause.

[John 117]

no, he could just make jacksons and pershings that would do the job.

... sadly its an unrealistic game since even the m3 Lee would be more than a match for even the best of Italians tanks (they might had badass ships and fighters but without germany their tanks where inferior to even japanese (and i LOVE japan but at that time they sucked at tank combat even their best is nothing against most of the other nations mass build tanks (their best is only comparable to a Pzkw III or a T34-76)

Even when you take the unrealism of girls and panzers the outcome would still be the same as a mere 75 mm L 24 gun was enogh to wipe through the frontal armor of italians best tank (P40 was the best they had btw.) so labeling a medium tank , super heavy is an insult in itselfe
