[Robz] Strengths of each faction?

[Belgian Problem]

Mainly just looking for some general tips and stuff for the different factions in Robz. I hear SS is ♥♥♥♥, which made me start thinking more of the differences in the factions.

Best way to learn the strengths and weaknesses is to get your feet wet, try and stick to one army until your good enough to win most, if not all, battles with your chosen side. I'm learning about vanilla USA at the moment.

Yup bolt action squads and paper armored tanks are the best

The SS have good troops, but they have smaller squads but are just as expensive as a standard Wehrmacht squad. They have decent vehicle's tho, but doesnt make up for its lack of troops, especially in Robz where quantity is better than quality.

Nah, not even the MG42 will make up for the expensive troops. Even then, the wehrmacht also get MG42's, while having access to Volksturm to help counter the Russians

Yeah you're quite right

Sooo, my point of view.

Wehrmacht and SS are pretty the same, when it comes to vehicles. There are some differences, but mostly the same.
The SS got some more expensive Infantry, while the Wehrmacht got also Cheap ones.
For me, the SS is more for Attack. Their units are a bit more skilled and they have acces to an early 2cm AA to ♥♥♥♥ with enemys.
Overall the German Tanks are good armored, have a nice Range, good damage and hell... you can hit the smallest Ant with their guns. (Try the Nashorn, its a beast)

The Russians. Pretty the same for Infantry as the Wehrmacht, not thaht skilled but still good. But when it goes to close Range, the Soviets are the best. They have early acces to some bad stuff. GAZ with their 4 MGs are sick, also the >T70, hard to penetrate on the really early game, if you are not prepared for it.
The Tanks are good armored (the best ones) especially in late game, they have big guns, no tank stand a chance (the germans counter it with their Range). Also the Artillery, big guns, much Rockets (katyusha), a lot damage. Not so Precise. (oh, and they cam spam cheap infantry)

The ♥♥♥♥. I like them. For the ♥♥♥♥ there is Quantity over all. The Infantry cant hit ♥♥♥♥, the Tanks are out of Paper.
But why i like them, you need a new playstyle for them. They have early tank acces, cheap AT guns (which are actually pretty good) and cheap infantry to spam. The Tanks (when it goes into Mid-Late game) are pretty nice when it goes to damage... but dont let them get hit, they blown up fast. There are more some sort of Flanking faction and you need to secure your positions in early game fast. (goes nice with their tank support). If you play the ♥♥♥♥ right, you get some Trouble as the Enemy. They do nice against the US

The US. Well, they are medicoe in everything. The Inf are the second baddest (after the ♥♥♥♥). Their tanks are... well... ok. Dont let them face other tanks, the US tanks are mostly shermans, and they like to blown up. Decent AT guns. Not the most precise tanks, not the most damage dealing tanks. The are Medicore, and it goes for the whole faction.

The brits, my Allied favorite. Their infantry shots precise (Lee Enfield ftw), the early vehicles are a nice support. The tanks.... they are ok. Nothing Special... but when it comes to the Firefly.. sheeeesh, nice one. Overall the Brits would lose a direct 1v1 tank fight, so they need to stand behind or use the Infantry supporter (Mathilda). Like in every game, the brits like Artillery... would take their Arty on Rank 3 after Russiand and Germans.

Just my personal 2 cents

The US actually have pretty good tanks. If you use the Shermans in great masses, you can pretty quickly dominate the battlefield, especially with WP. US infantry also get grenade launchers that just dominate against dug in infantry. I'd say they are a great all-rounder, decently mobile, and inf that just spew out lead.

Oh yea, the Brits are easily the best faction in the game, their Churchills with 152mm of armor are unstoppable.
