OKW is the weakest faction, but you wouldn't know since you've never played any other faction but the USF Axis aren't even a guaranteed victory in 3v3's because even with my expertise with PRoKW in 2v2's and 1v1's, I lost to a 3 man USF stack once.
You forgot the Kappa at the end of your sentence. Most people would agree that OKW is the weakest 1v1 faction right now, yet you keep towing the "USF is weakest faction" line.
How does "experience from previous comp stomps" prove that USF need a heavy tank like the Pershing? Besides, the USF already have a heavy tank, it's called the Sherman Bulldozer.
I'm guessing you don't play 1v1's? If you think the USF is the weakest faction, then you obviously haven't played ProKW. USF strives against ProKW while its effectiveness against Wehrmacht isn't that great; with ProKW, both the USF and Russians are a better faction.
EDIT: Checked your playercard and you don't even have any OKW games let alone any 1v1's.
I wouldn't make any changes to the USF since they're probably the 3rd most powerful faction in 1v1's; if you make anymore changes to the USF, you risk sending the ProKW into obscurity.
USF has better infantry early game than any other faction, but they also have the best late game infantry barring Obersoldatens(Vet 5) via Airbourne troops; they have the best tank destroyer in the game that outranges every other Axis tank at a cheap price.
USF is already a very powerful and viable faction in 1v1, so no changes are necessary.
The mortar halftrack is bad if you're using it wrong. It's an extremely good unit in a doctrine that's the second best, if not the best. I've had countless games where the USF mortar won me the game.
I can't agree with this. My alt accounts are sitting at a fairly good spot win/loss ratio wise as well as rank wise, so why should my ranks on the leaderboard be wiped?
They should since it will actually give players a reason to play more CoH2, and reach higher ranks. It would be an approximate indication of a players skill level; they can even implement it Counter Strike GO style by showing all of the players ranks at the end of a match, so that the "casuals" won't be discouraged and quit at the start of a match.
