Assault Engineers Tactics

Assault Engineers in Gates of Hell: Ostfront are specialized infantry equipped with demolition charges, flamethrowers, and submachine guns, making them ideal for attacking fortified enemy positions. Here’s how to use them effectively:

Soviet Counter Strategy Against German Armor

Soviet artillery is one of the best solutions for countering heavily armored German tanks in Gates of Hell: Ostfront. The Soviet doctrine heavily relied on artillery support, and this is reflected in the game as well. Here are some effective strategies to counter German heavy tanks like the Tiger II, Jagdtiger, and Sturmtiger:

• 1 1. Artillery (Heavy & Rocket)
• 2 2. Flanking and Ambush
• 3 3. AT Guns and Mines
• 4 4. Infantry with AT Weapons
• 5 5. Air Support (In Maps That Allow It)
• 6 Conclusion

• BM-13 Katyusha Rocket Launcher – Saturation fire can cripple enemy defenses, damage tracks, and force tanks to retreat.
• SU-152 / ISU-152 – Thes…

Soviet vs German Tank Mechanics

Soviet tanks generally have slower reload times but benefit from longer-range guns, while German tanks tend to have faster reload speeds but shorter effective range. This reflects real-life design philosophies during World War II:

• Soviet Tanks: Their guns often had better penetration at range, such as the 76.2mm F-34 on the T-34 or the 85mm ZiS-S-53 on the T-34-85, but they suffered from slower reload times due to cramped turrets and less ergonomic shell handling.
• German Tanks: German tank crews had better optics, ergonomics, and training, leading to faster reload speeds. However, their early and mid-war tanks, such as the Panzer IV with the 75mm KwK 40, often had shorter effective range compared to Soviet guns.

This means that in gameplay:

• Soviet…
