Weidling Discussion

If I didn't already have Leeb, Zhang, etc., then I would have gotten Wiedling. One could argue he is better, but trading an arty like the aforementioned, Neonen, etc. Which you may have already invested into, for a parallel trade, losing 20% medals, may not be a good idea for most f2p players.

Wiedling seems to be on par/in a neck-n-neck horse race with most other silver tier artillery commanders, but he is still a good choice for some one with not enough Arty gens.

Guess it depends on the player's circumstance.

I have Kluge, Brooks, Yeryomenko, Konev, Leeb, Zhang ...and auxiliary Bradley, not including that I could also use Yamamoto, Dowding, and even Rommel on arty, in a pinch, so...i dont need Wiedling...for now.

Weidling cannot beat Konev or Brooke in terms of damage or flexibility, so his niche will either be counterattack damage or support.

Damage wise, he can be interesting against fortresses in Frontier or warzone with explosives which multiplicatively stacks with crossfire. Inferior victory is another option but it requires super (rocket) artillery or elite forces.

For rumor, there's Leeb who already comes with it. Compared to Nenonen, he's less expensive overall, a little stronger but one less mobility.
The same goes for crowd tactics and fighting spirit, his direct competitor is Nenonen who is a little faster but offers less counterattack damage.

Selling Leeb or Nenonen for Weidling brings only little gains and will probably result in a net loss of medals because of the 80% refund. If you're new or want 4/5 or more artillery generals, then he can be a solid number 3.
