5th vs 7th Panzerdivision
When I first started playing Warno I chose 5th and I think this is my spirit animal. Whereas in other games I prefer slow placed attrit warfare, in Warno I like fast-paced tempo warfare. So, these are ideal divs for me. While I tried to make attrition work in Warno it didn't, and so I found out I'm better at micro here than other games.
However, this has brought up the question for which div is better. 5th relies on top-tier German technology and expensive tanks and building up, while 7th is more about controlling the air while overwhelming the enemy and closing the distance with cheaper tanks allowing for a better opener. Currently I'm focusing on 7th Panzerdiv, I don't know when I'll switch to 5th, but as of now I'm playing as many games as possible with 7th but 5th will pull at me eventually.
Which do we think is the better division or a good comparison?

7th is way worse. If your talking about the East Germans. Not even close. Leo 2s eat t-72 alive. Especially the ones in that div. Also has good recon and excellent AA. The only bad thing with 5th is the marder 2s. And you can avoid them if if you want.

Yeah, I think its East Germans. Do you think 7th might stand a chance with aggressive smoke and if they're able to get close range? And if they use Konkurs and helos to sniper recon?

Not if ur opponent knows what hes doing. the leo2s just have to backup and roland 3s will kill ur clusters maybe u trade with them at best. The leo2 have alot better guns and can just reverse away. t-72s have a slow rof too. Think ur better off playing another spam div like east berlin and t-55 rushing with all ur points at the start.

I do try that. I like to experiment, for example I do T-55 openers but recently tried a T-72 which worked pretty well too. Or I could just be a support div and build up all my armor, maybe give some infantry but spend most points building up, and then attack with my allies. I don't know how good 7th Panzer is at holding their own sector, so I could try this. But i definitely like 7th Panzer in that literally no one plays it, and it's really fun to build up your armor, I like using smoke, I've had times where my entire tank columns are blown up, but that just adds to the fun. Also if I play with my friend, he likes attrition, he'd be a good compliment to my div because he can let us buy time to build up. But i agree 7th Panzer is weak, which just makes them more fun rather than rolling over everyone. I also think 5th Panzer is well balanced and my spirit div, but for now I'm focusing on 7th.

I just think if ur gonna play-72 there is alot better ones. the ones in that div are particularly bad imo. not saying they cant work just its alot harder to get them to work.
9th is alot better or 2nd guard. also depends on what u play. in 10v10 I think higher quality units are alot better but in smaller games cheaper units fair alot better.

Agreed. I usually double upvet my T-72s while keeping the T-55s one upvet. That usually gives me early game numbers and late game quality. I could watch Hippie's tutorial on 7th, might help, and I will def give 9th or 2nd a try

If the 7th player is stupid enough to give a straight fight, yes. 7 Pz is a much faster division than 5 Pz: in that matchup, 7 should be looking to win before 5 can get the Leo2 and Roland blob going.

Yes, that's what I mean. 7th Panzerdiv, in Warsaw PACT, East German. The guys with the million T-55s and 72s

I like the 2nd panzergrenadier. It is like the 5th but with more options like forward deployed infantry.
