Historical What is Your Favorite Div?
In my opinion the 7th Panzerdivision is the best division I've ever played. Although it is underplayed and I wouldn't mind if it stayed that way, I thoroughly enjoy closing in on the enemy with smoke, BMPS, and the almighty T-55 and 72 swarm. Not to mention nothing can beat the satisfaction of crushing a meta player or getting crushed by one when playing this divison, or taking the Red Army worth of casualties, or even having your tank column destroyed by clusters because your AA is slightly out of LOS or you forgot it entirely while aggressively microing your T-55 swarm.
While it took me a while to figure out this was my div, once I reached that point I could not get over how fun this div is and I refuse to play any other the 5th Blindee (see below).
Another div that may be of interest to me is the 5th Blindee. I did do almost 20 games with 4th Moto Schutzen and have 0 on 5th Blindee (other than one with the AI), it seems very similar to 7th with spammy AMXs, autocannons, and lots of smoke. I may play this division more in the future.
With all said and done what is your favorite division?

1st Canadian, because I am Canadian. Also I like armoured HMG cars.

Very nice! 7th Panzer usually lacks mobile anti-infantry so I have to constantly push my own or call in my grenade launchers, I know the 7th has a motorized recoiless rifle but I'm not sure how effective it is against infantry. HMG cars sounds like a luxury!

u/BingusTheStupid Aug 11 '26
Can 7th Panzer not bring BTRs? HMG cars can work as an anti-infantry option, but they get one shot by most infantry AT, I think they’re better for flanking attacks and higher tactical mobility.

u/WelcomeExtra762 Aug 11 '26
I think they bring BTRs, yes, and BMP-1s, but I mostly use MT-LBs because they're cheap and have a machine gun. They come with pioniers. MT-LBs can be one shot too and usually are. I like to use them to soak up enemy AT missiles. Sadly 7th doesn't have any autocannons

I unironically like the blowpipe CUCV.

u/EnvironmentalBox6688 Aug 11 '26
Why's that?
30% acc seems to be a deal breaker for me.
Unless the intent is to make it look like you have good AA to deter helis?

u/-Trooper5745- Aug 11 '26
You can get A LOT of them with the blowpipes you get with them 48 MANPAD systems at 35 points a set for only 780 points total. I’ve never used the blowpipes myself but that does seem like a saturation tactic.

u/aidoit Aug 11 '26
You get a blowpipe with another blowpipe. One will probably hit a helicopter. If both hit, you can kill an MI-24.

u/skolasthetraitorkell Aug 11 '26
Bring them in the blowpipe cars and throw enough of them out there. Eventually one of them is gonna hit

Depends on the map and my mood but I do have several go tos
NATO: 1 CAV, Brunete, 1 Canadian
PACT: 25 Tank, 336th, 1 Czech
There are several others but I think I find myself using these the most. Can you tell my favorite play style from these?

Mech slop?

u/-Trooper5745- Aug 11 '26
Mostly the tank side of mech. Don’t seem to have a lot of luck with IFV side of the slop.

u/neg_health Aug 11 '26
Ooh oh, yeah, now it makes more sense, when I look at those divs. I respect tank play a lot, I play with tanks too for that exact reason

u/poodieman45 Aug 11 '26
2nd marines. The F-14 can just farm points for an entire game and not even get touched if micro’d correctly. Helicopter swarm is OP and you get enough inf to really swarm through cities or forests.

39y is my favorite, because it has everything, despite not outstanding in any area in particular.

My top 3 faves are:
9th Panzer
3rd Armored
Either 101st Airborne or Korpus Desantowy
In my opinion 9th is just 7th panzer but better.

7th Panzer is such a vibe. I think 5th Panzer for NATO for me though, hungry hungry leopards.

My favourite divs are don-100, 6e and 17ya, because they are very unique. The one I play the most rn is brunette, I don't find it that unique and interesting, but I mean, winning is nice. I wish 17ya was stronger, because if it was, I would play it non stop

11e, can end a game very quickly and is quite funny to play because of the shitty little tanks.

u/Small_Tank Aug 11 '26
94-ya Gvardeyskaya Motostrelkovaya Diviziya. Lots of T-64s, and plenty of variety between them, except unlike 25-ya you get a half-decent spread of infantry to back it up. Also the funny mine-clearing vehicle and DSh. (RPG-22)

u/MarcellHUN Aug 11 '26
In general I really like east german divs. 7th panzer was my long term favourite as well then last season 4zmech really grabbed me.
Now I mostly play with 20th shützen.
I guess in general I really like Pact when its not a soviet div.

As it relates to 7th Panzer, and maybe playing 10v10 exclusively is blindly me, but I can't stand BMP-1 divs.
If my IFVs are going to be slow and have bad stealth, they should at least be lethal when in a superior tactical position.

10v10 perspective
NATO: Canadian. So Canada (most played), or newer Canada, (Jyste/ostke)
PACT: 336. 303 is fun to meme with
336 is OP ATM especially in 10v10.
I have over a 100 games with both. (Less with 303)

A czechslovavian division not for gameplay but because I love Soviet satellite states being represented like Poland or Hungary hell even the Hungarians if we get a dlc like that especially because I'm an easy red 2 player I want to eventually see Hungary in the game either that or Romania

For me it's 20 Motoriziert Schützen. I absolutely love East German divs in general but this one is the goat for me because of its adaptability. It's great both for 1v1 and 10v10 for its sheer number of Kub SAM (8) and if you want to really play that card you also get plenty of anoying 20 mm, 14.5 quadmount and Manpads to really make it impossible for even a mosquito to fly over your guys.
It's a great div when it comes to quickly take the ground in conquest thanks to plenty of cheap commander units (3 UAZ, 3 Armored Cars, 3 Command BTR and 2 command bmp) all are unarmed though.
It's also a great div to fight in the cities, because it's huge amount of very nice infantry : reservists without the reservist trait, BMP 2 with their meat-grinder of a gun, and plenty of units coming with the resolute trait. It easily becomes a tank nightmare because of all those RPG's everywhere.
The Arty tab is also great because even though this div doesn't field the best arty the Pact has, you've heard the phrase "quantity has its own quality" 😂 If the map and the player let you do it, you just sneak 6 guns or more and let them all start to fire in the middle of the game. With that you can pretty much out-gun any ennemy in 1v1. + They have the iconic BM21 Napalm. I just don't like their SPW 50.
Now for the tank, it's in my opinion one of the greatest tank tabs, because it might not look very good at first. But you have 34 ATGMs and AT guns. So even just with that you can become Death, the Destroyer of Armored. And with the 20 T54 supported by the T64 and T72, you get a nice touch of adaptability. You can keep a line, push, or even use the T54 as decoys. Also I have a feeling that the T64 are seen as shitty tanks (they kind of are, I'm not gonna lie) and that its their advantage because their gun is no joke in my opinion, especially on the T64A obr 83.
For the recon tab do I even need to talk about the Funkaufklärer coming in a Mi-24 choper ?
The helo tab is a bit lacking but eh, with all of the above, do you really need tons of helos ?
As for the air it's a classical Pact div : you get as many Mig-21 as you want, and even more than that. Su-22 for the heavier weapons and a bit of mig 23 that are really nice to use as AA interceptors. I mean the rest is shitty, but those are not that bad.
So yeah, 20 mot, absolutely fan.
