Currently, building cover in CoH2 works a little strange.
The building cover provides a cover similar to a heavy cover (not exactly the same), but the cover effect is always taken regardless of whether the opponent unit is approaching a certain distance.

So, it's a little different from common sense.
Generally, urban combat is a battlefield where weapons with close firepower such as 'PPsh, StG44, Thompson'.
However, due to this cover system, fighting is now dominant, occupying buildings and building long distance units like bolt-action and lmg.

This creates a strange case where a squad of submachine gunners is defeated in close proximity to a bolt-action rifle that occasionally occupies the building.
Also, these things make it harder to use cqb experts who are made up of submachine gunners in urban combat.
I do not know if I remember correctly, but I remember that in CoH1, when I was very close to the building, the cover effect was also attenuated. And I remember that it was more convincing and balanced.
Making changes in this way is also helpful in preventing tedious glitches from repeating entering and exiting a building.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this issue.

OKW is most OP faction nowdays. they have all.
Cheap, but quite effective basic infantry,
Best effective light tanks,
AA truck with instant smokes,
Long range mortars(infantry support gun)
0 tier AT camo guns,
super heavy tank
High tier, very effective infantry.

So what needs more?

I play all 5 factions, and all factions are ranked in top 80, but I never feel okw is weak.

I little bit feel angry like this thread. like you guys make this game imbalanced.
If you really think like this, please play another factions.
That makes you get out of bias.


so.. see the what is truth with statistics

The pack howitzers' barrage skill has a scatter of 7 and an explosion range of 5 at 0 to 1 vet.

But in 2 to 3 vets, it has a scatter of 14 and an explosion range of 5.

For this reason, pack howitzers get more veterancy, it becomes more inaccurate.

This is one of the reasons why USF does not use the pack howitzer well.

I hope this will be fixed in the next patch.

If you think USF is OP, then play USF few rounds.
And see how OKW players counter it.
It makes understand you what's the problem.
To tell the truth, OKW has highest win ratio after patch, and USF has lowest win ratio.
