Seeing tons of aircraft support in the suggestions for OKW. I thought OKW is supposed to be the late war axis army on the western front? Their aircraft power was a disaster, so I dont know if it would be very realistic.

Luftwaffe Ground Forces and Overwatch already have loiters, and that is already more than enough if you ask me. Otherwise OKW would turn into an Aircraft-heavy faction.

give wer a LT and then we talk, the max u could do is lowering the damage but changing the critical to immobilized

Copying the behavior of riegel mines would solve the one-shots vs light tanks but from late mid game and onwards it would be too OP. You cannot rescue a medium or expensive heavy tank if it drives into such a mine... they're just dead af then vs competent players

Tank hunter tactics

This commander focuses heavy on destroying enemy vehicles

1st slot:

Anti tank combat package (passive, 0 cp): special anti tank training allows volksgrenadiers to detect nearby enemy vehicles in a certain radio and can be upgraded with 1 panzerschreck per squad for 75 munitions and gives sturmpioners the ability to plant teller mines and riegel mines at vet 3

2nd slot:

Spotting scopes (passive, 5 cp)

3rd slot:

Heat rounds (toggle ability, 7 cp)

4th slot:

Stuka close air support (loiter, 12 cp)

5th slot:

Elefant tank destroyer (call in unit, 14 cp)

It doesnt need a test mod to know that this doctrine would be complete cancer and unfun to play against in 2v2 and upwards

It's basically like Jaeger Armor doc from Ostheer(which is already super strong and annoying to play vs) with the difference that it's even harder to destroy the elefant now, if not impossible. How can you kill a well coordinated elefant if it gets protected by HEAT-ammo units and JU87 loiters all the time? Also it would mean a comeback of volks- schreckblobs and an elefant that 2-shots almost every single allied tank with HEAT ammo.

Btw spotting scopes is a terribly designed ability that cannot be countered and allows you to spot any enemy flanking attempt (or attack in general) early enough to give you tons of time to react with 0 downsides. I dont think it's a good idea to add this ability to more doctrines in the game @EVERYONE

I think the 3 best teamgame docs for USF now are Mechanized, Airborne and (still) Infantry company.

Early game build orders haven't changed much, but you can tech up to LT or CPT much earlier now which you need to pay attention to. Early nade tech can be rly good especially vs Ostheer now. In some situations and how USF tech got changed, it's actually more wise now to go both LT and CPT before Major. 50cals are very essential IMO, but be careful: Jäger light inf from OKW is meta now as they're a bit OP. They can wipe the floor with a 50cal (or USF in general )

50cal and AT gun drop from airborne doc is extremely cheap now.

It's still all about riflemen. You see some pathfinder-only strats now here and there since they are 0 CP but personally I think it doesnt work vs competent players(feel free to try it yourself tho). The exact same goes for new Assault Engineers (armor doc), I dont think they're that crazy good even as 5 men squad.

The mortar halftrack is super good for support now. It's cheap and vet 0 Phosphorus is amazing vs team weapons (vet 1 delayed barrage got buffed as well but it's still very situational).

It's easier to pull off light vehicle plays with the new USF tech, M20 for instance arrives very early now. I also love M3 halftrack rush from Mech doc with cavalry riflemen inside. If you struggle with early capping on bigger maps, keep in mind that the WC51 jeep can cap like Kubelwagen now.

Some tips for late game: Normal sherman with bulldozer upgrade(+160 health!) from Mech doc + Jacksons is a super good and cost effective combo. Jacksons + P47 loiter is still devastating if you struggle vs tanks. And if there are many OKW HQ trucks on the field you are never wrong with some priests. Scotts are still OP

KotH is back

did you consider making King of the Hill in 2v2 game mode? It could be very interesting and something new

you misspelled 3v3
