So far I have seen that 2 or 3 paks is a must in 3v3 and 4v4. Prviously axis could rely on their own armor to counter allied armor. Much less so now.

I don't see why an AEC shouldn't 2 shot a 222. It is 70 fuel plus teching costs. Not to mention a 222 comes out way before an AEC will.

We will have to wait for the next patch and see and give it time for adapting to happen.

Also, the only sure fire thing right now is snipers. Every shot is 10 seconds of Manpower gone.

Buildings as a whole are very weird this patch. I don't know if they are supposed to be concrete bunkers but they are so strong now.

Relic really went all in on this flame hard counter thing.

1.It needs same love like partisans. Sorry about that. It's not my native language.
2.
3. Buff does not only have one method to make it happen. Cost buff is also buff.
You can't say that's a bad way to buff.

And one cool skill does not mean the whole doctrine perform well.
It's treated kinda meh right now because it's really hard to perform the last skill.
If you use sprint before infiltration and capping, you will see caches around the flags.
Even if your fist commander skill used in the game is dispatiching stormtroopers, one fail will mean zero future possibility for Close the Pocket. Other two skills are same.
Another joke about this doctrine is cause by commander pools being shown in the loading screen. Anyone can easily distinguish encirclemnet doctrine by looking at that stupid goggles. Once the Allies player figure, not using any commander skill does not give the opponent any confusion.
Already the doctrine itself is a joke because close the pocket skill itself is absurd,(too strong but too hard to achieve) and it'll not work on good AT plyers game or 1vs1 game.
Now those are not enough reason to reconsider about this unit and the doctrine?
We can let this trollcirclement skill to maintain current state right now, but at least we can improve this overpriced unit to help a little bit.

Totally understandable. I'm awful at foreign language.

I don't disagree with what you are saying. Stormtroopers are certainly a disappointment. But as long as they are attached to trollcirclement (a good name I will use that from now on) then I don't see a need to buff them. As stated elsewhere I would like to see them incorporated into another commander, then I would be ok with buffing them.

1. It is pretty patronizing to think I don't know who the high level players are when I watch games. I am always on the lookout for games to cast, why would I watch low level stuff. I'll be on the lookout for you sometime, but I mostly stick to watching high level players (top 10 1v1 and 2pAT)

2. It doesn't matter how they are meant to play, if how they operate in the Meta is entirely different. OKW is entirely able to camp their way into late game. Mostly map design but Langreskya is a perfect example of how strong OKW can be when they are campy, Minsk Pocket is another example where OKW can plant trucks and camp their way into late game.

3. As stated earlier, you don't HAVE to. Forward truck placement does absolutely nothing on maps like Kholodeney Ferma, Faymonville, and Langres. If you have to be aggressive with trucks, then how is jove no.1 OKW player and he never does it? I see you play a lot of 2v2, I can see where forward trucks would be more necessary on maps like Vaux, but I don't really watch a lot of 2v2 to be sure (It is hard to concentrate on everything going on).

4. I would actually be more impressed if you somehow popcapped yourself without teching up. USF gets popcap when it techs, so I don't think it is a good argument.

5. The game is still asymetrical, meme joke or not. The only thing I would like to see get brace is the pak43, and I hope it gets more meta to deal with brit tanks.

Again, forward truck placement is high risk high reward. By removing that risk it gives overall buffs to OKW that may or may not be needed, we will need to see how the meta plays out.

Why? Didn't I say? Their intended role is different, but partisans do same capping, except they're cheaper.

Don't make me laugh. You called me a cry baby? It's you.
You're just stubborn to admit that a German unit do worth caring as soviet one.
I'm not even bitching like 'Oh, long abandoned partisans got some love? NO Let it be crappy like forever!!'
Before and even now you don't give me enough good reasons to accept your illogical patriotism for Allies.


Deal with your own nonsense

1. I will need you to explain this sentence better, I am having a difficult time understanding your english. "You're just stubborn to admit that a German unit do worth caring as soviet one."

2. You are bitching because stormtroopers aren't getting buffed.

3. It isn't illogical patriotism. As I have consistently said, Stormtroopers are to be used in conjunction with the single most powerful commander ability in the game, the only ability that has the power to destroy four armies at one time (which I have seen it do, was pretty awesome). Because of this, stormtroopers do not need any kind of buffs.

If that doctrine did not have close the pocket, then I would be all for making stormtroopers stronger. But since their main purpose is to sneakily decap a rear territory so that you can wipe an entire army in one click, they don't need to be stronger. If they could spawn and easily clear out whatever might be around a territory point, then Encirclement doctrine would be batshit OP.

TLDR: Close the pocket is hard to pull off, buffing stormtroopers would make that easier, which is a bad thing.
