Looking forward to see which players will form the US team. J4J + VonIvan when? |
Greetings all,
Since I'll be heading home in a couple months from overseas, I was wondering what opinions players had on USF now. Has USF changed significantly in terms of play style and tactics or is it still a riflemen centric faction? I have read the patch notes but I wanted to hear peoples experience with them than just theory crafting. |
Rusty and it shows. Should've waited for my own air strikes and got some AA. And mines would've helped too. Good sniper play and mines. |

Sure why not, I'll try my luck. See how far my skills fallen after these past months |
Honestly I feel PGs are in a good spot. They aren't brainless attack move like Guards or fragile like Commandos. They fulfill a spot as a defensive squad that protects your Grenadiers from being rushed and covering your flanks which they excel at. Seriously if someone goes Con spam I get one single PG squad which hard counters conscripts and let's Grenadiers do their long range damage. Same with USF Riflemen as PG's do great for defending your Grenadiers from being rushed down.
Only problem I find with is the purchase price but aside from that they do fine. Especially given you don't have to invest in any munitions into to make them effective against enemy infantry which allows you to focus upgrades on your Grenadiers or other munition purchases. Only faction I find PG don't perform well against is Brits due them being a long range oriented faction unless they go flamer sappers.
They have a specific purpose and offer something Grenadiers can't which is close to mid range power, close range grenade with good wipe potential, good RA, and finally not having to invest munitions to make them shine. |
Anyone got idea when Hans streamed that this clip was taken? I have to see chat man. |

I think it works best when you use airborne doctrine for those sweet .50cals. Nothing is worse when OKW just blob rolls over your Riflemen. Stuart is more of a safe option against OKW due to the fact mechanized got buffed and Stuart + AT gun can easily wipe the flak half track or luchs. On the other hand Stuart doesn't do much against enemy infantry and they can counter your Stuart build with heavy infantry one.
Now I do love it when it comes to late game as the utility it brings is amazing with great los and it's stun shot to help out with those panzer 4s and panthers. |
