IMO, in 1v1, this army is just extremely strong and easy to win in the current balance, because of this 3 units. I didn't play a lot of USF in the Alpha or I would have whine the crap out of the Alpha forum.
Rear Echelon squad, the "I WIN" button
This 160 MP squad seems like as useless as Soviet CE squad, but it has an "I WIN" button, Volley Fire. No matter the Jerry is hiding in green cover or not, it just get suppressed very quickly, along with other squad around them. Relic, you think this 20 muni "I WIN" button is fine? You can always win any engagement at essential fuel or cutoff point. That is just silly.
And the zooka "I WIN" button is just ROFL broken.
Rifles
Yes, they are the most expensive backbone infantry in the game, I am not sure if they just beat the hell out of Volks & Grens are fine. If they flank a MG42/MG34, it must retreat or get vaporised, that is good. But after they get the Infantry company LMG, they became a "Hit the Dirt" 360 degree MG squad, just for 60 muni per gun.
So basically you choose Infantry company, equip 6 Browning LMG into 3/4 Rifles, with a BAR Lt, you can theoretically win every engagement. I didn't say A move because wise MG placement can stop that, but German can't stop a good flank because mines are (OKW mine) expensive or (S-mine) avoidable. Ober does not arrive that early and 1 Falls just can't do shit to this LMG spamming.
M15 AA Halftrack
Glass cannon, it can be instantly killed by a Rakentenwerfer and screck, but the DPS is ROFL. Don't tell me it needs to show his vulnerable ass to shoot, because HT has no rear armour penalty.
It has zero setup time, vaporising OKW flak track, Puma, Ostheer 222, or suppress and wipe out any other unlucky Jerry just in 3 seconds. And it comes earlier than a Pak. Comparing to OKW flak track, Allies soldiers can just GTFO before it set up the flak gun.
Just look at top 30 of the USF 1v1 ladder Relic, that is fine?
All you need is follow this BO,
3/4 Rifles, Lt, M15 Halftrack, maybe an ambulance, grab 6-8 Browning LMG, you have won.
If you didn't win, L2P.
P.S. I type this as an USF player. |
