PantherG Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 What's everyone favorite CMBB unit? My personal favorite is probably the Soviet 37 aa or the Hetzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty 101 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 My favorite unit has to be the Panther VG (Late) for the Germans and for the Ruskies I love the T-34/85. I like the Pz VG because although it has frequent flaws in the armor, it still has a great chance to shrug off most russian AT rounds and have the power to take out any russian AFV they can field. I think the T-34/85 is a great all around tank. Even though it's armor can be lacking the 85mm cannon can penetrate most german armor at decent range. The best part about the T-34 is it's speed, maxing out around 34 mph and able to out run all of the german heavies by a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaTyR Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Late war SMG heavy german squads. Suite my style of play perfectly. 'Fausts get the tanks and the SMGs any troops that wonder in too close. With a good HQ and some thought put into placing the squads, they can stand just about anything.

Tigrii Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Conscript 300mm rocket spotters used en masse can transform a QB board into a large crater. Nothing survives except well-armored vehicles once you five or so doing preplanned barraging. But my favorite unit is probably the Jagdpanther late model. It's virtually invulnerable when hull-down, b/c the armor slope is so great, and the 88mm gun can open any russian tin can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisbech_lad Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Russian Recon C squads. 63 ammo, so plink away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Let's see. I like fast tanks with halfway decent guns. Pz 38(t) and BT-7. I also like tankettes since many Axis players like on-board mortars. BT-5A is the M8 HMC of CMBB. I like T-34 based assault guns, SU-85, SU-100 and SU-122. Cheap, fast, effective. I took some preferences over from CMBO: small stealthy FlaK guns. The Jagdpanther is still the mother of all hunters. I think I will love the Stuart but I didn't came to make full use of it yet. I might like the Panzer IV/70 in CMBB better than in CMBO. The maps are bigger and the Jagdpanther is now much more expensive than the IV/70. Marder III early is nice, too. I am not sure about airplanes, but as the Russians I like planes with many strafes and MGs/guns in the 12-20mm range because the Axis people often have thin armor and friendly fire doesn't hurt that much. I don't really enjoy friendly 550lbs bombs. 20mm 8-wheel armored cars rock in CMBB. Sharpshooters and 150mm infantry gun. Same use, slightly different effect Trenches. Nothing better than an empty first line of trenches, a second empty line of trenches, lots of flamethrowers in reach of the second line and an impatient opponent (or a too short scenario). TRPs Rachel Weisz Mortar carriers Rachel Weisz Strangely enough I like what the historical forces liked, too, in a deliberate combat situation. I don't think any of this is especially gamey. Maybe the game isn't that bad after all [ December 16, 2002, 09:35 PM: Message edited by: redwolf ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Captain Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Panzer III 50mm L/60. Great armor for it's time and nice gun. German Pioneers, supported by Jager Squads with PPsH's. Deadly in the city. [ December 17, 2002, 02:32 AM: Message edited by: Lord Dragon ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser Soze 71 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 CMBO: Absolutely Puppchen! CMBB: Now it is Brummbär, which basically took every ruskie tank out in a PBEM-match It might change - haven't tried them all yet.

First Mate Detrius Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I'm all for Pioneers in forest backed with a few heavy tanks behind a ridge. Goddamn I just love to see those german Tigers blow up, and when they turn to take my pionners sending a few shells up their ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankgunner Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Il-2M planes - even with no bombload they knock enemy armor effectively. T-34/85- an all-around tank, and with tungstens it can deal with almost any armor. SMG/LMG squads - good firepower, especially at close ranges. ATRs - small and cheap. And any Axis light armor lives no more than 3-4 turns under PTRS fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
