Dear fellows I don't think the problem is OKW or Axis as a whole or whatever, but the shitty way in which USF is built. Paper armor, paper units overall, no mines (WTF?) not enough air power, not one single heavy, etc. Riflemen don't scale as well as volks, they are no match for elite infantry not even with double BAR. I know, I know, if we give them more strength they probably will be blobbed. Then USF must be fixed in other ways. Change RE, change that mg, make it more resilient, give them ground mortar, give them an AT emplacement (like maybe 17 Powder or something similar - british in vCoh), give them more air strikes.
I mean, look, I found myself working in late game double time as USF that as OKW for instance. Because you have to micro that paper armor so hard in order to keep it alive not talking about infantry. I almost understand the existence of skillplane in such conditions.
I don't experience such difficulties while playing with soviets, not by far.
Take for instance 2v2 mode:what is more powerfull on Allied side, double USF, USF plus Soviet, or double Soviet. I would bet all my money on double soviet without a thought.
So again, I think the problem relies simply in USF faction that needs some work to make it viable for real. |
What if they ask you to clear Bastogne with 4 Luchs?
I would say "jawohl" and die for the Papaland  . Or hope that there will be just infantry in Bastogne. |
I am disapointed not necessarely about skins. You know, vCoh Opposing Fronts had a nice German campaign. Wouldn't have been this product more attractive if it had an USF campaign AND an OKW campaign? I wonder, why didn't they do that? I am sure that this would have increased the sales. More options, more bulletins, more skins, more interesting things. Maybe, just maybe, it have worthed its price then. |
yuou know if their was a rifleman with a bar for each volks the result would be a horrific slaughter of all those volks.
Well, if the OKW player is Scavange or Special Ops I wouldn't be so sure. Every volk squad would throw 5 grenades and the slaughter would be vice-versa! |
Blobbing is so easy to punish as every faction. In 1v1 especially if you just blob around you will never have any map control at all.
If you have a problem with the kubel, volks, or obers, then maybe it's because those units are just overpowered and need to be toned down. The act of blobbing itself is not what's overpowered.
I don't know if blobs are so easy to punish. It's a pretty effective strategy.
And anyway: OKW Blob > any other blob. |
Ya, well I guess conspam it's as unpleasant as volks + obersoldaten spam. Add two pumas or one-two Panthers behind that, and there you are, you have an unstoppable doom ball. I don't know if soviets have solutions for this, they probably have, but after intensive testing I can tell for sure that for USF the solution is: if you see that, run like hell back to your base or all your units will be wiped, no matter what combo you have there. |
Well tbh the difference between these 2 air strikes has its roots in something that it's not directly related to them. The Allied armor which is thiner. I guess Stuka ground attack shouldn't be so powerfull, while P-47 air strike should stay powerfull. On the other hand, P-47 sight on the battlefield is huge compared to Stuka's - which is non existent. They scout the area and they search for targets. So you can click the P-47 skillplane and forget about it, while clicking Stuka you need to keep constant view on targets, from the ground, if you want to be effective. From this point of view, P-47 looks more as a skillplane for me.
All in all, Stuka is currently to strong and I think it's damage should be adjusted. |

"New Reply on USA is gardening broken" - Fixed that for you if I'm allowed  |
Completely misuderstood, fellows. The wrong hands means not only Hitler, but all its regime of terror and blindness with all people involved. I don't know about you but I make a difference between military and politics. While I admire the tool, I totaly disapprove the brain.
Related to german army and its tanks, I will stop here, it's cristal clear for me that it's no use to debate with such biased and ignorant people which discuss hystory without knowing shit or deliberately reject the actual facts. I'm sorry, but cannot abstain, you could not see the truth even if it hits you in the eye through hystorical accurate documentation. |
Get some nerf to recieved exp from shreck shots - problem solved?
Indeed ... |
