Yes Overwatch is OP. But I have to agree with aerafield on a lot of his points.

Overwatch basically exists because your alternative vs current UKF is to get walked off the map or play obnoxiously. You cannot even rely upon MG34 any more to deal with the IS blob, because they get 42 sight range pyrotechnics (52 sight in cover at vet I, which means anywhere of relevance).

Camping behind sandbags can buy you time, but ever since the sandbag model size change (1->20), they're easily shot out. So you must either commit to harder camping or play around the blob, trying to draw the game out.

Double LeIG is heralded as a toxic counter, but you are using two light arty instead of two squads. Expect to get brenned off the map or just 5-man IS blob right-clicked through your army. Or worse, commandos wiping your men and support teams because your inf presence is weak and SPs can't be everywhere "just in case of mandos".

I would theorise that if Overwatch were to disappear, Elite Armored would not be able to replace it. Any decent UKF can handle a 221 without too much trouble, infantry behind cover will shred it quickly and maybe a hardcounter in the form of an AEC. Instead, more fusiliers or ppl switching to OST for the 2 MG42, 2 pio braindead build that murders most UKF players out the door. Or yes, the much feared OST Sniper.

I've used it a few times. LVs easily have enough HP to shrug off a normal use of the ability. Using it reveals your position instantly and slows you down iirc. It's like the UKF sniper shooting at Kubels and 222s.

that's why i always advocated for obersoldatens to be renamed basedsoldatens

meanwhile a full hp vet3 commando squad dying from a single king tiger shell

"Terminator units immune to bullets!" or T-800s lol.

Well they had it coming if they send a commando squad anywhere near heavy armour. They can do literally nothing to it, even the cooked ham will bounce off.

Is this phenomena just based on RNG? Or is it a left over bug from vCoh. I recall some certain amount of health (2-5%) that made the unit invincible. You know. Because Relic things.

I think it's just RNG? The shots were nearby misses, though it wouldn't surprise me that there is a 2-5% hp bug? That said I've lost models before to "nearby misses" so it's not so clean cut.

if it were an axis ptrs it would be wtfop though

Hear hear.

This new info also explains some suspicious lost fights where my Obers got crushed in heavy cover vs firing position Guards. I had put it down to just RNG. Another thing to put on a hoped-for-new-patch.
