If you dont have great team weapon micro, the answer is that you simply dont go without the flak track. Okw mid game has been its weakest phase, and the nerfs have made it an actual weakness (not just a relative one). The luchs was the way to overcome this, and in its absence, that responsibility now falls on the flak track. Without it, you will be in the theoretical disadvantage throughout the midgame unless you can get extra value out of your team weapons.
The only other real option to skip aa ht without improving team weapon play is to coast off of an extremely good early game. Okw has the strongest early game, and if you can achieve absolute dominance in the first few minutes, you can hope to lock your opponent out of resources entirely and reach late game tech by the time your opponent reaches mid game tech. This would require super strong early starts and strangleholds, and a t4 rush where obers can dominate the infntry game, and raks can minimize the damage enemy light vehicles inflict until you can get out a p4.
So my counter question to that is where is USFs weakness? Or soviets?
Maybe check the scc5 games, where okw won .also what is wrong going flak hft? So you are forcing the enemy to tech. And koth ofc. I agree that the meta with Luchs rush is over. And use okw mines.
The point of "balance" is too allow for diversity in gameplay. Not force a player to build 1 unit because it rofl stomps or just to stay afloat. I don't perticularly like light vehicle play, I prefer infantry.
Why? And some of this skins i have see other people using.
Inorder for a skin to be used ingame every player must have that skin downloaded to their PC for it to appear. If a single player doesn't have it, it will not appear and instead be replaced with vanilla. Therefore it's more difficult to get custom skins to work in 4v4 since their is 4 times the amount of players than that of a 1v1.
Apologies again for this issue. Our web team is working hard to identify and fix the problem. For slightly more context, the issue was caused by necessary server update. We know this is a major problem for many players, and we are working to resolve asap.
