 Someone! Anyone! Stop the madness!

   My poor PE troops are nearly too utterly and completely demoralized to take the field. Instead of loading extra rounds into their guns, and water into their canteens, all they do is cut bandages and pre-prepare white flags.

 As for the rest, they sit huddled in the corner whimpering non-sensical gibberish over and over. "The firefly infantry from the sky  will get us!" they cry out frantically, while other's jerk awake in the middle of the night only to scream "the devil troops have flank speed! We cannot outdrive them! We are doooomed!" .... It is all so very horrible.

 I have spoken to many commanders, and all have experienced similar troubling events springing up all over their battalions. Many have fled to fiji rather than risk the shame of another crushing annihilation. And when the last have gone, who will brave the wild abandon of fielding panzer lightning divisions? Or will they be only the subject of some passing reference in an antiquated history book?

 If the winged tyrant soldiers with their shoulder-held sniper-flak88 zues-lightning bolts aren't checked in their merciless rampage, I fear this might all too soon come to pass!

 Do the world a favour, save the endangered PE!

shoulder-held sniper-flak88 zues-lightning bolts

BWAHAHAHAHA

That quote alone is awesome, not to mention the rest!
Pure hilarity!

I wonder how the new Availability will hit these jacks of all trades.

[Tymathee]

If you're luft, falls in cover, webels and the flakvieling rape aB.

SE, fire, deny area, TH are just screwed.

Then again at the same time, PE rape brits, at least i do as pe, i have more trouble vs us as pe than i do vs brits, especially engi etank spam, 50mm > engie tanks (can't think of name now, not at home)

[Sixpack]

SE, fire, deny area, TH are just screwed.

So as SE I need two T3s to be able to deal with AB, sounds fair.

Fair Deal mate nothing else stops them eh? Be generous and offer those 2 Doctorines for the Altar to please the anti airborne blobs

Not that hard to beat ab, just use g43s and slow and send in mp44s or just slowly shoot them dead with g43s lob a incen nade while focus firing on single squads to kill them faster. If your SE slow and assault nades and tha ab basically have to retreat instantly if they want to get out alive.

I myself have adapted to RR on my PE companies by now fielding massive hordes of infantry and lots of g42

G43 are the only weapons that can hurt AB during their hitnrun.

[Unkn0wn]

ATHT Focused Fire is pretty awesome too, granted that it survives the initial RR shower.

If the AB are mircoed properly they and are more than 1 squad, the ATHT wont survive long enough to snipe half a squad

[Unkn0wn]

Well the ATHT should be at max range and used in conjuction with other units that draw the AB blob's attention . Someone should make a documentary on 'dealing with the airbourne manz' as PE.

12 pop will always counter 3, thats not an argument.

[Killer344]

3 LAHTs with focus fire, the ABs die in 2 volleys rofl.

[LuAn]

Yes Please!
But it should include replaysl, not only theory.

[Unkn0wn]

AC blob works wonders too, granted the AB menz are not supported which they usually aren't if the have RRs.

At max range the atht misses with precision fire for some reason :/ Ill make teh doumentary, will be pro.

[pqumsieh]

@ two; thats due to moving accuarcy + doctrine accuarcy modifiers.

As far as countering AB with PE; easy as pie. G43 spam as other players have noted and use in combination marders, assault troops, and TWO MHT's. The MHT rape slowed AB players usually raping entire squads or making them think twice about charging in. Meanwhile, your marder is countering any vehicle support they may have and yoru assault troops are flanking them (sprint is key unfortunately, so get them to vet 2 asap)

I always know where max range is.

Actualy airborne can be countered early with G43's and mp44's.

But that will only work for a while.  I know strafing runs are coming so its going to be alot harder to provide a infantry screen or my tanks.  though I haven't played PE since the new availabluility system came in, but as it is right now I have to many men and not enough tanks.

[RikiRude]

Now tell the armor players how to fight TH PE =)
