also note that the 7th man model comes equipped with SVT rifle that DPS improvement over the mosin.

Pathfinders are only OP once they started blobbing with other units like LMG para.
solo pathfinders with bars arent really that good.
the problem isnt inherently from the pathfinders, but blobbing and focus fire in general |
The Stg upgrade on Volks is (balance wise) completely fine. You pay 60 muni for good close and medium range dmg increase and therefore a nice powerspike.
Whats bad about Volks is their awful "target size" with 0,77 at max vet, which translates into 520 effective HP. Compare this to Rifles 625, Cons 676 (pre upgrade) or Penals 623. On top of that they only get x1,3 accuracy with vet while having no option to get powerful lategame weaponery like dual bars or dual brens to compensate for this. But i think the bleeding part is way worse than having supbar dmg. At the end of the day Cons get 5,38 hp per manpower (reinforce), Rifle 4,46 and Penals/Volks 4,16.
I dont think it would harm balance much if Volks get a little boost on lvl 5, healing on 4 and remove the useless vision shit. But i guess there is no room for that after 3 years of putting Grens and Cons into the prime position they are now .
your understanding of target size to effective HP for infantry is somewhat flawed. The game logic for infantry combat is depending on dice roll on the Accuracy roll not target size.
The game has a hard cap of 0.61 received accuracy. In other words, a vet 3 god-tier Gren squad will have a hard cap of 0.61 target size when been shot at by a shit accuracy infantry like vet 0 conscripts. Relic hardcoded into the game to prevent matrix RNG dodging infantry. |
I don't remember it destroying both parts of german tank, I think it was one or the other, but yea there were a lot of complaints about ram being very unfair.
oh it does. the ram is a guaranteed immobilization for both vehicles, and a 25% chance main gun destroyed for the axis vehicles.
also SU85 is the best lategame armor, even panther shells would bounce off SU85 front armor |
from my experience,
UKF is a carbon copy of Ostheer (at least the players). UKF gets stronger longer the game goes. Plus UKF meta is very similar to Ostheer meta especially in 4v4
1. bren tommy blobs = lmg gren blobs
2. centaur = better version of ostwind
3. QF6 walls = pak walls
4. piat sapper blob = cheaper version of PG shrek blob
5. rush for comet because its a mini tiger and i can spam 4 of them |
the biggest drawback from S-mines are the signboard after planting them, defeating the purpose of a "mine".
so basicly paying 60 MU for a signboard and area denial, which basicly can be countered if they other player isnt retarded.
on the hind sight, the S-mine are excellent cheese strat, if one could pull them off. |
i have lost count how many times relic nerf the 120mm.
120 range RNG 1 shot wipe machine with precision shot ability. the good old times, no axis players would blob, when 120mm in da haus.

I have One question.
Why???!? |
M20 cost 20 fuel. The thing is, USF could get the M20 earlier (3mins) to counter OST sniper and generally causing a nuisance to OST infantry MP bleed. This will cause the OST player to effectively go for 222 to counter M20. This generally fit the USF aggressive strategy.
M20 isnt capable of counter 222 alone even with the zook crew. the problem is cause by players abusing the decrew/recrew the M20 with the zook that cause the problem to the 222 AI tracking.
Once M20 pass the 10min gap, its became a glorified spotter or an expensive zook RE squad. M20 really have a tiny window to shine between 3mins to 10mins.
Since the current LT tech which unlocked both M20 & M3 stuart. Most person will gravitate towards M3 stuart, cos it can do M20 job and better.
anyway this is way too off topic. This is more of the current USF tech issue |
it seems like all LMG has the function of focus fire=true. with an oddball USF M1 thompson SMG with has focus fire.
i do notice LMG having the effect of focus fire, as it kills single model better than guns without focus fire. All except USF M1 thompson, which still functions like other SMG class. |
