What should I choose...?

I love having infantry and tanks get that extra boost for a push, but I really want my tanks to be a shit ton better then they are now.  

I havent seen anyone use blitz in a long time so I dont know...I also dont plan on getting a tiger though, so maybe theres no point for heat rounds.  

Just curious what t4 could be better

I run Blitz, but use STuGs.

2/1/4 for top

Tried double t3 for bottom, but German Engineering is CRAP unless you only use Tigers/Panthers. Need to get it removed so I can spend those points.

The bonus' with lighting war are kinda nice i guess, but would it be worth it to get it as your t4 or go for heat rounds?

You could possibly push blitz on to get extra boost from all your troops which would be nice...ohh on a side note, if your troops are pinned under mg fire, if you triggered Blitzkrieg would they get unpinned?

I think LW is the best t4, because allies will struggle to keep up with the pressure from LW's rapid deployment of assault nade volk spam etc

Blitz was one of the first doctrines released thats why it was played so heavily...  It also does not have multiple buffs on units... IN fact a tank buffing Doctrine that does not buff ostwinds... Kinda weak... 

So you don;t get multiple buffs on the same units so therefore its harder to keep units alive...  And LW is ok, btu again little to no offensive buffs?  While moving faster is nice... It does not help kill the RR spam or the rangers or no recived accuracy buffs sooo whats the point to it.

Puddin' spamtm
i cant really blame smokaz i mean playing against puddin is like trying to fight off breast cancer. You might win and do it and be a bad ass but you'll feel sick and mutilated forever.

Puddin' spamtm is soulcrushing... what's hard to understand about that?

Are we discussing Blitz in general or Blitzkrieg the ability?

If it's Blitzkrieg the actual ability I imagine it could be used as a good ability for temporarily increasing the firing rate of your army for the duration.

Just grab LW and barrels and you can use panthers and pumas.

Dont really need anymore than that to take on any allied tank. The speed lets you kite pershings, and if you need to slug it out with a vetted pershing you just pop blitzkrieg and go all-in. The panther can still win. And it penetrates pershings and churchills acceptably with barrels alone, and you can achieve that massive slugitoutpower using blitzkrieg if you need to kill a sherman in 10 seconds.

I used to run lightning war with two vet 3 panthers, blitzkrieg and improved barrels and assault.

It was one of my favorite companies, and one of the most OP ones. I rate it up there with my brencarrier flamethrower carabine company, old and old new ferocity terror.

With lightning war you can win games by pure map control alone too

Well ampm I orignally meant Heat vs Lightning war but I was distracted and wrote it down wrong.  Cheesy

Also Smokaz that was pretty much exactly what I was thinking of doing with my company btw, blitzkrieg and lightning war with panthers.

Once you see a LW panther on blitzkrieg, you will never go want to play anything else, its like crack, you're a guy on meth and everyone else is playing this slow game where their callins are arriving late and you are like NOWNOWNOWNWONWOWNOWNOWNOWattack.

Also I think you can fit in GE as well, as long as you dont get a tiger.

Tigers dont fit in very well with LW anyways

heat rounds are for peeps who like hard hitting panthers and tigers,

LW is for probs actually better as u can get to keypoints of maps faster with ur support weps so by the time ur enamies show up ur ready.

i used to be heat rounds esp back in the day with old skool imp barrels made vet 3 panther rediculous!
liking LW esp with stormies if u get up there fast enough there cloak speed is the same as normal movement speed for a while
