Yes it's more tougher to play USF now due to lack of units to counter ost T1 support units but not impossible. I agree with the thoughts about changing the tech systems and the units in each tier but USF players must be willing to adapt and try new approaches to dealing with the current changes. Unfortunately coh2 is unforgiving to players who seek to try different strategies and not follow the meta.

Things that I have done have netted me some wins:

Blindly moving units towards points is no longer feasible you must always consider the possibility of an mg there so use the map and the terrain remember the easy way is always mined.

Aggressive RE play and a fighting position can seriously disrupt both ost and Okw early game if forward position at their cutoff or fuel

Build an extra RE squad and use them as scouts for rifles- make contact with the smallest element in this case the RE allowing you the ability to maneuver your rifles to flank

Scouting is key even more now

It's ok to go T1 and the T2. Why rush a Sherman when the ost player will farm paks and a move them towards your armor when they are fighting against it

Believe in the USF pack howitzer

Rifle flares from elite rifles coupled with at guns and pack howitzers do wonders

Finding the right mix of units and massing them correctly will net success

Double REs can win fights against axis line infantry it all boils down to cover and placement - at the same time it buys time for the rifle to reach them and fight a slightly less fully hp axis squad

.50 cal is a beast but requires a spotter unit to prevent the feared rifle grenade from grens wiping the crew in one go

Just my thoughts....
