I don't think that this is daspoulos. It's kinda unfair to assume it's him when he doesn't even have the opportunity to justify himself.

And the next person implying stuff I did neither write nor mean. There must be a nest or something... There is hardly any flawed logic since I did not compare Grens to Riflemen, IS or Conscripts for Christ's sake. I am comparing them to Volks. I am comparing them to units they will never play against in Automatch. Which is exactly why I am questioning why the small difference between those units does forbid giving both 5 models. There is no logical reason.

You point about Pschreck vs Pfaust is nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking, since it only proves the point about Grens I am trying to make here, if anything. Of course a Pfaust does not equal a Pschreck, thanks for clarifying. Maybe that's the reason why Ost gets PGrens later on while OKF gets no additional infantry unit with AT capabilities. Mind = blown.

Let me try a third and last time. Volks and Grens have the same jobs, their only difference is the order in which they unlock stuff. Grens start with light AT and can upgrade to decent AI, whereas Volks start with light AI and can upgrade to decent AT. Those details are all absolutely unimportant for the simple point I am making here, it's astonishing how they are still brought up just for the sake of finding something to bitch about.


And yes, model count disadvantage combined with no forward retreat option actually IS an important factor that can offset balance.

The only thing that is flawed here is your UKF comparison. Maybe the reason people don't use it much (source btw? your own games only?) is that it freaking costs something while not reducing reinforcement costs and makes the most MP starved faction in the game bleed even more. Just a distant possibility, yet worth mentioning, I think.

Of all the stupid stuff I read in this forum this logic is the worst. And so many people use it. "Faction X has a certain feature -> why doesnt faction Y have it too." Volks and grens don't have anything to do with each other. They're different units in different armies and thus have different strengths and weaknesses. Why do forum warriors want all the factions to feel the same???

Volley Fire is super important for the US early game. It let's you win the first workerbattle vs wehr or you can use it on the flanks of the map (eg ammo points on semois) to beat a single volks or gren. It also allows you to win 2 gren/volks vs 1 rifle + 1 RE matchups if you're in a decent position.

No

1. there shouldn't be any more faction mirroring
2. would be unnecessarily strong

Hey

You don't use your units effectively. They're idle all the time. However this is completely normal for a beginner you just need to practice more and eventually you will get better ! It's hard to give any substantial advice before you reach a certain level because theoretical advice only makes sense if the player has basic knowledge of troop movement and positioning.

Here's a build order to practice with:

Early Game:
Volks, Volks, Volks, Medic Truck

Mid game vs USF:
Raketenwerfer, 1 Schreck on a Volks, 2 Panzerfüsiliere, Depending on what your opponents army looks like you equip G43 (vs Infantry) or more Schrecks (vs Vehicles)

Mid game vs Soviets and Brits:
Infanteriegeschütz, Panzerfüsilier, Raketenwerfer

Late Game:
Flak Truck, Panzer 4, more Füsiliere/Raketenwerfer/Volks


General Tips:

- keep your Infanteriegeschütz next to your med truck
- don't build a Kübel
- don't build additional Sturmpios unless you lose your starting unit
- focus on microing your infantry units as effective as possible
- always reinforce your units ASAP and get them back on the field quickly after retreating
- don't build panthers in 1v1
