No, it's not.

Stop trying to piggy back off quality titles.

Its a direct quote from the article.

My apologies, I should perhaps have been more specific, I was thinking about the specific post by TheGentlemanTroll within the thread. As for the commanders, I seem to have quite a few of the ones you recommend, but for the Soviets I only have two. Are things like the Lend Lease commander decent or relatively weak?

Also, as a newer player, my options for the intel bulletins seems quite limited, and from what I have been able to find regarding them, people seem to consider things like reload speed and cooldown quite weak, implying that only really the accuracy boost that I have is reasonable. Are there any notable bulletins you'd recommend purchasing with supply when I build it up?

Hiya, most of those commanders should still be okay with the given meta rn. For each faction slight changes may have happened but there wasnt a big commander shift yet.

One thing to note is Elite was nerfed since that post and is not as strong as it use to be. If you want a tiger g43 doc then Lighting War is my prefered take.

Elite troops can still work though


T1 meta for soviets is back therefore Lend Lease is back. I run it now in addition to two guard or ppsh commanders.

USF is pershing/priest/recon/airborne. All 4 give you something USF lacks IE Elite infantry, heavy tank, artillery, or Support weapons without side teching.


Bulletins arent really that important anymore since they got rid of stacking. But the best currently imo are Infantry accuracy bonuses and Grenade range bulletins for all factions.

For SOV and Wehr the 5% cooldown for cons and grens are good. For sovs the accuracy for penals is good for t1 builds. Wehr has a pfaust range and mine cost reduction both with are good. (SOV has one also).

USF has 3 big ones outside the accuracy bonus. There is a vet increase for rifleman, grenade range, and The decreased reinforce and build time for REs and Rifles. this one was obtained through AA and allows riflemen to get back on the field fast which is nice. I typically run something like Rifle Accuracy, Rifle Vet, Back Bone of the Army.

OKW Volk suppression is nice. Medkit cost reduction is useful so heals dont drain ur muni from stgs.

UKF- just go all 3 Tommy bulletins.

Steel Division still has an active multiplayer community. Smaller than this, but its certainly not dead. Custom game lobbies fill up within 5 minutes (usually less). Not sure about the state of ranked automatch because I haven't tried in a while, but from what I have heard there is a very active tight knit community of competitive players on Vulcan's discord and they scrim all the time.

I actually watch Vulcans twitch/videos on competitive SD all the time. I find the issue is getting into it as a new player is difficult considering how steep the learning curve is and how good most of the usual players can be.

Light tanks: Engages mainly infantry and occasionally other lights.

T70
Luchs
Stuart

Not making a list for armored cars, AI mediums or include the brummbar anywhere. Armored cars are all decent, AI tanks are mostly decent and the brummbar is great/borderline requires nerf.

U forgot the most glorious, best, fear striking Light Tank. The Valentine

Obligatory "JT is a TD and not a tank REEEEEEEEE"

The TD for a JT stands for Total Deadweight.

Remove/reduce/pass around the extra 100mp they start with. The SwS is a good unit/tech requirement you could reduce mp wise so you would effectively keep the same overall teching cost.

SPs arent the issue IMO its more of the fact that volks come out so quickly that you get overwhelmed quickly.

The only thing that can compete with OKW field presence early is a sov Con spam strat and even then SPs + Volks are pretty good against cons.

elchino is right in that removing some starting mp and reducing sws cost will prevent OKW volk spam from dominating the field so quickly which should help against the immense early game pressure OKW has. While also keeping tech cost/time the same.
