what is you all's best/favorite division?

[Mastercrafted Alex]

Just like it says, what do you think rates the best? I'm ignorant to any statistics regarding win rates, but it also might just be your favorite. Be sure to distinguish the two if they need distinguishing.

Personally, I have the hardest time with Russian Divisions. I think I generally have trouble with combined arms, and just prefer bigass arty or bigass tanks, which is why the Germans might be more my style, but it also reflects the growth I need to make as a player. Find myself doing best with divisions with elite infantry, like Sturm or Skijager. Also like the Pazer Lehr and the german division that gets the Tiger 2(escaping me right now), for obvious reasons. What about you all?

I like to play offensively, phase A attacks, with the soviets. The american jeeps w/ 4-man assault squads and flame thrower to quick rush an advanced position. T-34 or T-70 spam backing up the push to the enemy flag and the mortars raining down on the enemy reinforcements.

I love to play the germans defensively, phase C attacks. the Panther tank is very difficult to dislodge from a defensive position and they usually buy me enough time to get to phase C.

352nd THE MEAT GRINDER Plenty of AT and infantry options early to mid game. Excellent armoured options in phase C to mount an OP counter attack.

elite infantry and big tanks you say? Try the 14th Infanterie, very well balanced deck good for attackiing or defending. The 14th is capable of dealing with almost anything the Soviets can throw at her. If your looking for big tanks they have plenty of tigers(I bring 14 starting in B). Before the beasts unleash, I like to have a good AA net established since Tigers are quite popular to enemy bombers.

Airtab is quite good as well, offers good numbers of vetted fighters flying 600km+ for quick intercepts. Solid selection of bombers and rocket planes (which are very modestly priced) that can bring some bangs for a buck.

14th is probably my favorite division and for best its in my top 3 forusre. The 14th has a very adaptable play style and can yield a plethora of combined arms that pack a mean punch, Very tough, hard nosed divison.

that one division that gets napalm, STG-44 assault troops *and* Panzer4 with a single card of Tiger and nebelwerhfer.

Alternatively I love the Hungarian infantry as their 15 or 16 manpower squads conduct the best rifle assaults in the game outside of the pure 13-man STG44 section. The hungarian tanks are a little silly but they're great fun in the campaign.

Axis: KG Harteneck - it simply has a good mix of the things I like.

Allies: 3rd Armoured and/or 1st Piechoty "Tadeusza Kościuszki" (3rd kinda grew on me, despite not liking it at first...) 3rd has some notable issues (it has not been updated with supply transports, for example), but I like their unique armoured playstyle.
Kościuszka's rifles are awesome for infantry strats. Again, neat gameplay there.

Would not call them "best", however. I don't chase meta.

Haartneck is my favorite to play with. Great infantry plus Hetzers/AT guns and mortars to defend early then push B-C phase with the TigerE's. Only weakness is no mobile or heavy arty but mortars are in good supply. Strong air tab also with AT planes if I run into IS2's or T34-85 1944 spam. Very versatile division for any map or opponent.

Great Replies. Gives me a lot of ideas!

[VoidFish]

My personal favorites are Goring, 352nd and Lehr are some of the best german divisions in the game.

Goring:
1. Gets a buttload of Valkyrie(Walkure) infantry
2. The best AA on the Axis(only division that has the most quad AA halftracks(best AA in the game))
3. Sturmtiger, need i say more?
4. You get tigers, and lots and lots of jagdpanzers
5. Ju-87 G-2's, these things are IS-2 hull crackers...attack the side of an is2 and its gone instantly.

352nd:
1. Lots and lots of infantry
2. jagdpanthers
3. HS129s(more IS2 crackers)
4. Lots of AT guns
5. 380mm offmap, perfect on panicking a whole area and rushing in to surrender everything.

lehr: Ultimate meme division
1. Autocannon puma's and halftracks
2. Lots and lots of panthers, tigers, and jagdpanzers
3. borgwards, You gotta know how to use them properly(hint: city fighting is great with it)
4. Great variety of AA
5. The most nebelwerfer42's out of all the divisions(I think)

I like the 14th inf for the Axis and the 26th gaurds for the Allies.

14th inf has good inf with a nice amount off them, Plenty off Tigers and stugs, it has cluster AP JU bombers witch are realy good taking out enemy heavies or armor groups and it includes some pretty decent arty pieces. All in all great division.


And for the Soviets its the 26th Gaurds, realy good mid game division, plenty off inf to go around including double flame assault sqauds and straffniki, they have plenty of ''lighter'' heavy tanks that a good middle ground between medium and heavy tanks, a KV-85 will most likley lose to a Tiger but its cheaper, you get more in B-phase and they will beat any medium or Stug the Germans bring out. And for heavier tanks you get the plenty of AT-gun sturmoviks and even some cluster AP bomb Yak's. And we cant forget the heavy arty guns this divs has.

This div works realy well in Maverick I think. filling the frontline with plenty of hevay tanks while the opponent has to either work with more expensive heavy tanks of their own or with AT guns that are easy to kill off with the heavy arty the 26th has.

[Kung Leonard den Barbariske]

44th guard and 9th cav are my favs. Plenty of bomber if those KTs that show up and fast heavy planes for removing AA screens with arty support. Good inf and med tanks for pushing the rough terrains.

As Soviets whatever can remove KTs is the way to go.

[Ëvïlnïck8 ゴゴゴ]

26th gaurds & 14th inf.

26th gaurds I realy like for the cluster bomb Yaks and KV-85's.

KV-85's are cheap for a heavy tank, will easily beat any German medium and any German heavy armor the Yak cluster bombs can deal with those. You get some heavy hitting arty and ISU-152's.
It only lacks in the anti air department. Also gets plenty off good inf inclusing elite double flame 8 men assault sqauds and straffniki.

On maverick this div does realy well in my option.


For the Germans, 14th inf for good qaulity and qaunitity off infantery, you get plenty of Tigers, flak-vierlingen, some nice arty and good air support. A realy flexible division that can do well on more enclosed maps but also on open maps.
