Inverse put this in the shoutbox the other day its pretty interesting

You overemphasize the weakness of USF a little bit, there are some strats that can really kill the axis such as early rifles and AA HTs vs Ostheer, the m20 rush + sherman rush vs OKW

I feel like most of your points are well established problems and i can agree with most of them.

The counters for the situations you describe imo are
a) Jacksons/m10s (jackson for spam m10 for 1)

b) Stuart, sometimes Sherman rush

c/d) Hubris

Everybody hates OKW even the OKW players At least USF is super fun

Show Spoiler

They could probably try changing a couple things if they really wanted to adress it that badly, but it would make the game quite different

First cover stops giving bonuses if you get close enough, that promotes blobbing when cover doesn't matter probly have a reason for that mechanic but idk what it is

Second Flanking is incredibly risky because of how vulnerable units can be on retreat especially with tanks around some people have suggested custom retreat paths to mitigate this and give more player control idk if they can engineer that though

Thirdly earlier in the game infantry fights seem to have a nice pace, later in the game units die really fast so there is no point in manuevering units into the perfect spot if they will just stand there for 1 second before they get blown up or shot to death. they could adjust veterancy to make later game fights just as slow as early ones

these don't affect specific unit values(though they would buff/nerf some units) but would make it a little more rewarding to space units out use cover and flank/manuever into position

If they could make these mines less confusing and cumbersome to use that would be a start

Oh for the 347859173498672165 time!

You NERF unit because its OVERPOWERED.

You do NOT compensate for the NERF, because it would lead yet again to unit being OVERPOWERED for the COST and we'd be BACK AT STEP ONE.

This is why it is called a NERF and not STAT RELOCATION.

And to picture it better to you:

I don't remember Guard Rifles getting any cost reductions or compensations when button and PTRS were nerfed.

To be fair we have no idea what relic thinks of this unit or why they changed it since there were no patch notes or explanations given for any of these changes
