Sticky Bombs

[Shio]

In recent games vs Allies, all I tend to see is the spamming of sticky bombs. Sticky bombs onto AT guns, onto buildings, onto early tanks if I can manage to survive that long.

I managed to pull out one Stug last match and had 3 sticky bombs on it by the time it reached the front line to get a fire off.

For the cost, and damage they deal, I think something should be looked into. I think they should knock the treads off a tank, however the usefullness of them otherwise is being abused to an absurb extent in some matches. Might as well avoid pulling out any AT or Veichles in a 500 point match.

Thoughts?

I can see that being of great annoyance to any axis player, however that is what infantry escorts are for. Besides, the allies need every possible weapon to take care of the uberness of axis tanks.

Just protect your tank's flanks with infantry and micro that tank and it should keep those pesky sticky bombs to a minmium.

as random mentioned, Infantry escorts are your friend... stick some grenadiers on there flanks and you are well away... or even a flak panzer or 2.... they tear infantry a new one and forces there tanks to fire on your flak panzer as well... which gives your panzer/panther/tiger a chance to get a few shots off without being hurt...

Hehe, a Tiger or two assisted by twin ostwinds will tear through all but the absolute most determined allied defence. :D

You can massacre rifleman in great numbers if you properly support your tanks with machineguns.
