3 short questions:

1. What for that unit exists in doctrines for CP 2, when I have in all ways better ZiS-3 without doctrines right here and now?

2. Who and why use that thing?

3. When last time you saw M-42 AT in action?

I mean not a stock light tank just a lighting panzer doctrine with a light tank for Ostheer

Well, thats acceptable. But Im sure somehow, that such light tanks (such as doctrine) won't be usefull for Ostheers.

But still, It would be cool to give to Ostheers maybe Hotchkiss H35 Would be intresting, at least.

And Jackson is of course effective, but compare it with effectiveness of Panther. Of course, Panther costs more, but still. For me, better have 1 Panther, than 2 Jacksons, which dying from 1 Schreck barrage or 3-4 hits of usuall tanks.

I heartily disagree. Ostheer's main disadvantage is the lack of any light tank. 222's buff was a slight misstep, which will most likely be fixed in the next patch (similar to AEC buff/nerf). But calling Ostheer having "enough light vehicles" is wrong.

What for Ostheers need light tanks first at all? For to fight against infantry? Light cars are good enough for that. For to fight against other light vechiles? 222 is fine in that and also, Ostheers, unlike USSR have Panzerschrecks for to deal with all kinds of tanks.

So, they have enough light vechicles already, because - what for they need more?

For God sake, OKW has a lot of anti-murica blobs. Walking stuka is perfect, since it has 100% accuracy, large AoE and earlier than Katyusha or Panzerwerfer income. Obers are fine, if you use them right, a lot of off-map artillery (like zeroing arty), which destroys all targets immideatly and infantry too. You have everything you need.

And I don't understand that whine about "USA infantry blobs are OP". Guys, they are suppoused to be OP, since USA is not so powerfull in armor. Riflemans are core of entire USA army and their main power, so they shoud be powerfull. Just like Axis's power is heavy armors, which are pretty OP too, like the best AT tank Jagdtiger or the best tank at all KT. Each faction should have something OP, something in core, thats how assymetrical balance works. For Axis it is tanks, for USF it is infantry.

And about idea "let's make MG-34 non-doctrnial and buff it". I say - not before PTRS will become non-doctrinal and buffed in AT power. Look at USSR - you just can't play without doctrinal units, they are 100% addicted to them. OKW is not so addicted, since they can get super-heavy tank without doctrines at all, so let MG-34 be in those doctrines. Without it OKW will be too OP.

Be happy about you have already (and you have a lot) and don't ask more, please. Better look at USSR - it real needs overhauling in almost everything, from tiers to doctrines.

There are a lot of useless doctrines in CoH 2 now in all factions. Nobody using them and will never use, so their existence is veeery questionable.

One of those doctrines, which make me cry every time, when I trying to take it is "Royal Artillery Doctrine". Seriously, it is bad. Just like all UK's artillery in game. And since here came Land Matteress everyone, who needs artysupport using that one, and Royal Artillery group became totally forgoten...

And the main problems of that doctrine are:

1. Condition of QF 25's in CoH 2.

2. Condition of SP Howitzer Sexton.

And their both's condition is veeery close to abysmall. That are 2 worst artillery guns in game. Very innacurate, almost without explosion area (which means, that damage coming only from direct hit to target... with that accuracy), low fireing range (for Sexton)... For me, as for artillery-player it is strike right in heart, because I remember how powerfull and scary was Royal Artillery in vCoH. It is shame what they made with that in CoH 2.

And point here is - those 2 howitzers are bad, but they are cheap (Sexton) or free (QF 25) at all. So, it could be excuse of their lack of power that "what did you expect from free and cheap artillery? To be powerfull as usuall howitzers?". And Im 100% agree with that. But...

But, what for I need CHEAP/FREE but USELESS units in game? That's just like some faction could have infantry squad for 10 MP, but that without weapons and abilites to capture points and weapons. Yes, they are cheap, even super-cheap, but it doesn't mean, that they should be that useless. And right now Sextons and QF 25's are those "infantry without weapon" - cheap/free but 100% useless. I call QF 25's "Decorative artillery", because it looks nice and makes my base beautiful, but that's all what it good for.

So here I have an idea - what for we need 2 useless artillery guns in one faction? Why not to turn them into 1, but usefull?

I suggest to throw out that poor bastard Sexton and move QF 25's from base to field emplacements and seriosuly buff their power. I think, QF 25's should be in emplacements, like they were in vCoH, and Royal Artillery should have more abilities for that 25. For example, I can't understand, why Counter battery fire placed into "Forticifiaction doctrine", when it should be in Artillery?

I also suggest (for balance reasons) make those QF 25's emplacements only doctrinal and only in Royal Artillery doctrine. And I suggest to add into Royal Artillery doctrine "Overwatch ability for emplacements" and "Counterbattery fire for emplacements". And maybe (istead of poor little Valentine) "Supercharges for mortars and QF 25's". Or only for 25's, because mortars are good enough right now.

UKF's artillery right now is very close to death. I think, we should save it ASAP!
