Profile of Clarity

I would say just making Assault Engineers 1 CP would prevent them from being spammed. They aren't as affordable as JLI's and don't scale the same so slight nerfs would be fair. Armor Company is already the best USF commander this patch so this would probably bring it a bit more in line.

Honestly I think the Sapper Recovery Squad is probably fine, the only thing I would change is preventing them from being able to upgrade a Vickers K and 2 Bren Guns. This combo with 5 man squads might be just slightly too cost effective at the moment. Especially now that they have access to snares.

As of late I really like Infantry Company against OKW mainly because M1919's are superior to STG's the Volks have and you don't have to pay the side-tech cost of getting Bar's immediately. You also have sandbags,mines, and artillery to break trucks and Pak 43's and the LEFH if he goes to Fortifications Doctrine which is good against USF. I usually still get Racks later on for Zooks but it's nice to save some resources early game. My build order consists of the following: Rifle,Rifle,Rifle,Rifle,Captain,Ambo,57mm,Stuart(if opponent goes for a Luchs),Major,Sherman,Jackson. You generally want 4 Rifles to match his 4 Volks or to apply pressure if he only goes for 3 Volks. Get the Captain and focus on taking 1 on 1 engagements and focusing the Sturmpio down if it tries to close the gap. Get an AT Gun to help with units like the Flak HT and only go for a Stuart if your opponent goes for the Panzer II since the Stuart is a good counter and forces your opponent to either have to go for a Puma which delays his medium tanks or Rak's which are kind of inconsistent. After that, the key should be to rush medium armor as fast as possible and then build a Jackson to try and counter his armor. You can also go Heavy Cavalry and go Pershing but you will need to go Weapon Racks before you get your Major tech in that case.

Yeah, I am really surprised more people don't go Brummbar even in 1's, it's absurdly strong against infantry. Kicked my ass the few times it's been used against me. People seem to be allergic to Tier 4 in 1v1 though.

My general build against Ostheer as USF lately has been 3x Rifles and a mortar into LT. I generally go for a ambo after I get my LT and then go weapon racks as quickly as I can to apply some pressure with BAR's and 50 cals. I generally only go AAHT if I see more than 1 222 or a Flamer HT since that unit is a pain in the ass to kill even with a 2x Zook RE's if he has Panzer Tactician at his disposal and Mobile Defense is still mighty popular these days. The key is to power spike with weapons and go for a medium tank as quickly as possible. The mortar should smoke the 42' every opportunity you get and focus on setting up flanks with multiple squads in unison. If your opponent get's a medium tank before your first Sherman I'll go Airborne for a 57mm otherwise Heavy Cavalry is overall your best best against Ostheer in 1's.
