If playing as OKW, 2 Sturmpioneers focus firing will take this thing down really quick, and US player is down 240 MP / 20 fuel. I learned this the hard way. This thing is so slow and clunky to drive that if caught out of position, it has very little chance of surviving... less so than the M3. It probably has the most tendency to spin in circle and/or drive forward when you tell it to reverse out of all the vehicles in the game.

Whenever I use the jeep, I put a rifle squad inside and can easily take on 1 sturmpioneer and even 2 volks. I have to back off when I see a sturmpioneer and 1 volks together, though. Generally speaking, the jeep is not that great vs Ostheer since faust is plenty.

If you see one and managed to chase it off instead of killing it, build a raketenwerfer as the 2nd one is bound to come (fighting 2 of these together is a pain without proper light AT). The flaktrack or puma is also good to get since US won't be getting their AA HT anytime soon due to spending their initial fuel for these things.

I feel like the real star of the doctrine is the 155mm arty that has the chance to severely damage OKW trucks if not outright killing it. These used to 1-shot OKW trucks but less so now... but will probably bring down the trucks to ~10% health.

Just a note that the reverse also works if you're playing team games as allies to figure out whether you'll be fighting Ostheer or OKW on your side. Their base buildings are different in shape and size. In larger 4v4 maps where the team is split (City 17 or Steppes, for example), knowing whether you'll be (initially) fighting dual OKW or dual Ostheer can help you prepare what build order to go with.

This is great stuff! Just tried it without specifying anything but my Steam ID, and looks like it's pulling in the information in the wrong spots.

Wehrmact row is showing US stats
Soviet row is showing OKW stats
OKW row is showing Soviet stats
US row is showing Wehr stats

The instance where you specify the 'stats' attribute for individual rows is showing correct info.

Aerohank, my reply to that is already answered in my "second of all" part.

I understand your desire for the units to synergise, but it just ends up creating a too powerful tier, without needing the other.

But as Soviet, you're not supposed to get both T3 and T4. So it makes sense if the units in either tier synergize.

What about a system where dropping constantly causes you to be paired with other droppers? So if you drop like 10 team games in a row, most of your future games will be with people with a similar tendency. If you haven't dropped in a while you eventually move out of this pool.

+1 I like that idea. Match droppers against each other and they can drop and enjoy unfulfilling games. AFAIK, they are tracking the number of disputes but I'm not sure if dropping a game via '/leave' or "Quit Game" counts as a dispute. At the very least, it won't ruin the experience for those who actually want to play.

On the other hand though, there are people who never want to surrender even you've lost 90% of the map, outmatched, and opponents are in their base. What to do about these guys?
