Recon element chasing pioneers around a bush in the first minute loool. No great strategy here just good old fashion micro that wins out.

About a year ago I tried out a theory that Wehr could beat Brits by spamming anything out of T1 + Blitz doc. Sniper spam, Bike spam, MG spam and of course Volks spam. It's not as easy as Pio spam T2 Gren spam but I won nearly every game.
An Infantry section without an officer will struggle vs a Volks squad and when a 280mp squad is almost as good as a 450mp squad, you know there's something wrong.

I always put my HQ truck on a Fuel point and try to get a Stuart asap. A lucky Canister shot can really make the difference.

Well, to be fair, upgrading the Infantry section to a Recon Element gives it:

"Decreases squad accuracy and increases reload times"

They're not made for prolonged stationary long-range encounters which is what Volks are good at.

I actually partly agree with you here.
We all hate playing vs brit blob (2lts) and faghounds.
I never play like that.
If you don't play like that, brits actually have a pretty hard time vs wehr. (PE is another story).
Gren spam is standard. With vet3 and shrecks, they can demolish everything brits have.
But also wehr's T1 is very powerful vs brits.
Volks pretty much stand toe to toe with tommies (280mp vs 450mp).
Sniper is incredibly powerful, mgs for support.
Only high risk high reward option is to go for BiB and try to take out sniper and/or mg(s).
If you drive over mine, it's pretty much gg.
If wehr teched to t2 and volks have faust, it's pretty much gg.
Commandos are good to drop behind front line but until you get 3 CPs it can already be gg.

My point is, if brits don't play exploit, they are the hardest faction to win with 1v1.
I've been playing random ladder for about 10 years now.
I don't play 2v2s and there, it's probably another story.
Their slow movement, linear teching and poor doctrines really don't help.

Still, I can't believe I lost to a volk spam wink.gif

gg wp again
