Why do Obers get the best LMG in the game for free?
Why does the Puma have an instant get-out-of-jail-free card at 0 Vet?
Why does the cheapest mainline infantry that also scales the best with Vet also have Schrecks?
Etc..

These design decisions were taken by Relic's design team at a time when they were probably under the influence of some nasty stuff.


either that or duffy had them under gunpoint

:huhsign:

It always brings T34 to 10-15% health and with little RNG it can kill it.


Shame you did not say anything about denying cut off and other stuff :lol:


And please, learn to read and understand. I said it can deal, not it deals. Panzer 4 also can deal with IS2 with little luck and micro, aye?

If you are trolling, at least learn how to do it.

But does not matter. Flak vs Sherman with HE rounds below.

I would rather ask why Obers can shoot with LMG on move almost without penalty? When you smoke with Shocks at grens, they have to get out and move and you can chase them. When you some Obers, and move back and once you get out from smoke, they laught at you cause they will shoot you on the move.
In recet patch (correct if Im not wrong) there was a change that no matter who picks up lmg34 CANT shoot on the move. So why Obers can?

Why? Because M10 or Jackson dont have such thing and we need asymetrical balance :snfPeter:

you're supposed to use AP rounds on sherman vs HQ's since HE rounds dont always(never?) do full damage


They need their HP and range reduced.

And why does the Alpha OKW seem like it would be more fun to play as and against?

Relic needs to get rid of this bull shit Flak gun. I mean come on, does everything needs to be UBER with OKW? I can't even call in fuel drops with Lend Lease Commander bc of these damn things.

While also beeing less usefull the bigger the map is, which could also lessen current 3v3 and 4v4 problems.

I started a topic on this a while back:

Feel free to take a look there as well.

The unit is currently nuts as it stands. For an upgrade cost (literally for free) you can lock infantry, armor, and aircraft out of the map at the place you decide. And it comes out early. With fuel transfer this sucker is on the field by the 10 minute mark.

I don't understand why allied players have so much trouble with this building. If any OKW player is bold enough to put this building so far ahead of his lines then he fully accepts the risk of losing it as well. I often play teamgames and when people put this building forward on the frontlines it's ALWAYS a huge risk for them. Soviet Zis guns and american 57mm AT guns make short work of these buildings in no time.

All hail OKW, the ultimate faction design crafted by the Holy Trinity; Relic, Quinn Duffy, and :snfPeter:. It is the pinnacle for which all future factions shall be based, and all those existing will #adapt and conform to it's holy shape.

I dont know why its in the game. Its completely pointless. No faction should have access to such thing. Good luck breaking a Med truck + Flak truck combo. It simply locks down a part of the map and ensures the OKW map control whereas the others have to try to maintain it actively. Even Ostheer. And Ostheer doesnt get Obers.

Seriously? If there were no OP OKW troops to deal with, you'd have a point, but the AT guns take too much time in lieu of the blob that'll come after them. Cost for cost, OKW has the advantage and still more flexibility.

Actually, I find Flak HQ very challenging and interesting to fight against. It is like ultimate goal - to bring that thing down. The only thing that concerns me is that it provides free AA.

By the way, I'm saying only from 4v4 perspective.

In 4v4 it's not a challange at all.
But in 1v1/2v2...

I'll disagree. Ever have two of those near each other? Plus the shreked blob? Fortress.
