Profile of Partisanship

In general, the only blobbing I see that is not too much of a headache is the Osttruppen. I am not sure whether I want to reduce all the blobs to their level though...even combat engineers can survive walking up to three squads firing while standing for three whole seconds before retreating with one man.

This appears like a tiny nerf, why does everybody makes it sound like the units are nerfed to oblivion? Especially about Obs. They still wreck units from afar and usually do not need to stand in harms way most of the time to clear enemy infantry.

I went to further check the stats of the top players W/L ratio on seperate factions. Player USA keeps a good win rate of 0.7 and above for all factions. VindicareX has a surprisingly higher win rate for OKW then any other faction, contrary to the trends. Jesulin has highest win rate for Ostheer as well. I now fail to see how your stats are justifying your claims.

Well...they are called Top players for a reason. I can see where you are going with this, but I don't think a general assumption that factions are unbalanced can be based on W/L ratio of good players. Propagandacast had a few great matches where the OKW eventually come on top in spite of the superior early game advantage of US.

Also, other threads do have discussions that are aimed at balancing, but they do provide stats that regards game mechanics to proove their point while also proposing a solution to be discussed. What are you trying to do with this thread?

From the general consensus, I'm guessing the AG doesn't exactly tilt towards over or under-powered. I'm therefore hoping they are in their place in the balance and perform reliably in their main purpose.

I tried a few rounds of AI (I don't want to troll other players with commanders I'm not familiar with), and I can say the AI ability of this commander early game is definitely reliable. Not strong enough for me to be calling OP, but definitely getting the job then when executed properly.

I get a headache when I go against US infantry though, since unless I get Vetted squads, a BAR is enough to make my squad weak against them. Without the Vet or BARS in the equation, standard AG vs RM is usually favorable to the AG when gaps are quickly closed in (via micro or prepped ambush). If the RM doesn't snipe a model in their the first two volleys, the AG is assured to force a retreat (though they will be losing 2-3 squad members).

The additional PG Halftrack call-in is yet another decent AI unit, and I usually yank the PG out of the halftrack and let flamer Pioneers inside instead. Then turn the PG to double shrecks for a bit of AT (who needs them for AI when I got AG?)

I tried the multiple AG squads and they perform decently. When in pairs of two, they quickly wipe out any infantry when standing still to shoot after distance is closed-in. Running and shooting seems to perform sub-par during my limited time trying them.

I skipped tech buildings and went directly for BP3 because I felt the call-in was great so I had no need to build other units to compensate. I do lack a bit in the suppression department, which I often compensated with bunkers (I'm surprised AG can build them) and wires by Pioneers. Once I reach BP3, I get 2 Stugs and a P4. Stug for sniping tanks and infantry alike, while P4 for flanking particularly pesky targets.

The major flaws I had with this commander was the painful early retreats if I got suppressed. Another was the blatant lack of ammunition because I often used sprint and grenades more than I should. The AT comes a bit late when I skip tech and I have had awkward moments when tanks are out and I don't have something to shoot at it with anything other than 1 PG with shrecks (and when I don't plan ammunition properly, I don't even have shrecks).

Edit: BP3 as in tier 3 building
