At the end it generally downloads a 13.7-14MB patch that generally fixes the issue. I don't know if it will fix it also with the beta tho
Tried that. Didn't work. I'll try it one more time, because I got nothing better to do.
A lot of things I didn't expect in this patch. The infantry behavior should be much better now.
I don't know about those JT and ISU changes though. Let's see how they play out.
USF is blobby not because you build a bunch of rifles, it's that to tech, you have to build MORE infantry squads.
You build your infantry force, then you have a bunch of other infantry squads that are REQUIRED to field more advanced units. Only the LT comes out early enough to potentially replace a rifleman squad. The early game necessitates using manpower effectively, and the USF is good at this.
It's as USF enters the midgame that they are forced to keep churning out infantry to get any sort of tech. That's when they're left with this unwieldly blob.
You know just because you have a lot of infantry doesn't mean you have to blob. I usually keep all my infantry in atleast 2 seperate groups at all times so they all can't get suppressed at once.
