stalling for heavy every game has become a global movement

Because it's OP as fuck lol.

Literally find me one source of US Pathfinders in Operation Overlord having mines with them when they dropped. Literally one source.

Ah yes Coh2, the bastion of realism. Literally find me one source of US riflemen taking 4-6 shots from a kar98 at point blank and not dying. Literally one source.

I remember we've had a thread or two going over the possibility of 2CP Paratroopers. Even made a test mod for it too.

Wasn't the general sentiment that even with their weapons locked behind racks and 6th man behind an upgrade, they were still particularly strong for 2CP?

Shocks, guards, and falls all come at 2cp, so not really. Seems that 6 man paras with weapon upgrades locked behind 3cp would be fine.

Not for okw and especially against Comet/Churchill/T34-85/Dozer M4/Ez8/KV1/KV8. I put the KV1 and Churchill here due to cost very near medium tank cost.

Wut. 1 raketen is trash, 2 are cancer. I fee like I see double rak just as much as other double AT guns and you cn be way more ballsy with them because they can just retreat. Super easy to 2 burst mediums with.

Mediums can arrive 1-2 minute after a Hezter.

And you can totally lose a game in that 1-2 minutes, especially if you're already behind. Buffing it'd be a great way for a better player to steamroll a worse player even more than they already would anyway, without actually making it that useful in an even fight. That said, I think it's kind of meh.

As someone who extensively used Feurestorm on the lv17 1v1 level and even used it in Kimbo's tournament, my opinion of the doctrine is the following:

Flamethrower Spios: Meme levels of useless, unless vs USF without field defenses ability to lay mines.
MP40 Volks: Good but you can only get 1 or 2max unless you wanna lose the game to MGs. Really strong if you get close or on retreat path and very muni intensive.

Opel: Amazing

Incindiary rounds: You can't afford the munitions. Great vs sim city which noone uses.

Flame Hetzer: Very niche. For a bit more fuel you get the P4 workhorse that can deal with anything short of heavies.

Rocket strike: Great vs concentrated support weapons, but not very wide which means it's niche. Also expensive af.


Overall mediocre in 1v1s. You can get tonnes more value picking another early elite unit doctrine. Not worth picking over Kpen offensive in live, or Breakthrough/Luftwaffe in the preview.

I've never found the incendiary rounds or sturm flamers the least bit frightening at all.

The incendiary rounds just don't do much damage to anything but I guess they at least cover a decent area. Maybe buff the firerate on the barrage to make it saturate an area quicker? I've found that a lot of times the shells will just scatter and miss and I'll just walk around them or pull back without ever even taking damage.

Sturm flamers seem like a weird design decision too since volks already have a flame-related green cover counter that you don't have to give up a minesweeper and repair speed bonus for.

The really nice thing about the rockets is that they are pretty much guaranteed to destroy team weapons fully. Definitely useful if you aren't in a position to destroy/salvage them yourself.
