I honestly have never seen this being exploited. And i never did it myself. Because i dont like exploits and because i forgot that its actually possible.
But hey, thanks for reminding others here. I foresee slightly more exploit usage.

I can give you many reasons for that:

1. WFA factions need to be a little OP so people buy WFA (no surprise, isn't it hehehe) ;
2. Because factions need to be so much different one related to other that being one of the main reasons for which we all love COH in general: in order to efficiently use a faction you must totally change your way of thinking compared to faction you played before;
3. Because... ASYMETRICAL BALANCE. ;
4. Because they don't have only advantages but also DISadvantages like resources income penalty (OKW), paper armor (USF) and so on.

And the list can continue...

P.S. Remind me of some SOVIET faction disadvantages 'cause I can't find any...

Youre playing with half the non doctrinal army most of the time due to expensive tech costs. And you have the worst scaling basic and core infantry in the game.

Conscripts are scripts
Riflemen are rifles
Kingtiger is el king tigre
Kübel is Königskübel

I didn't know that Ostheer got reduced fuel income, or that they couldn't lock down area's *cough* Oustruppen/CAS *cough*

Fortifying area's does take some amount of intelligence and knowledge of what shotblockers your dealing with as well as the importance of say covering a VP or covering a fuel point. The Schwer shouldn't kill tanks (no emplacment other than AT guns which have no AI power should), but it being able to stop infantry and light vehicles is no different than an Ostheer player spamming bunkers or a USF player spamming FP's.



Obviously this match didn't happen, all a dream.

First off, the reduced income is supposed to be a DISADVANTAGE.
It shouldnt be like "oh hey, less fuel income, but cheap tech, resource conversion and one big fat truck to lock down your cutoff completely"

And your argument with bunkers or fp's is dumb beyond comprehension. The thing is that bunkers are only infantry suppressing mg's, have a very limited cone of fire and go down to 3 AT shots.

T4 truck however, has one big AOE, a medium tank penetrating gun and is very durable. AND it gives you access to the best infantry in the game, to the best light tank in the game, to the best mobile TD in the game (dont come with jackson) and to the Sturmtiger, which frankly, is balanced although a bit too expensive.

Simply moving an AT gun up like against a bunker DOESNT WORK REALISTICALLY. Your opponent has an army too (Schrecked Volks yay negate armor, and Obers which negate infantry).

From my 1v1 experience (which you dont have), aswell as 2v2 experience this thing is INCREDIBLY hard to kill, especially in conjunction with the med truck, which serves as a forward retreat and healing point. These two trucks ensure the OKW map control, but the thing is that they DONT NEED IT. You can have map control perfectly fine without these trucks. The trucks are a stupid bonus that is just unfair. It needs to be changed.

What I want: An army that reinforces the combined arms formula of Company of Heroes. Flanking, suppression, tactical elements etc

What I expect:
TRUCKS.
STUFF THAT LOOKS COOL BUT IS BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR.
BLOBS.
NON-DOCTRINAL EMPLACEMENTS.
MOAR TRUCKS.

I sincerely hope new factions aren't coming though. IF they somehow manage to fix the balance in the next balance patch (it would be miraculous), it'd be broken again a few months later, for another year.

YES. TRUCKS
