Don't trade a minesweeper echelon, i would recommend replacing the echelon, but i think it works out better if you trade echelon because you end up with a repair crew (once you've traded with tank) which will be soon able to crit repair without risking it getting decrewed. |
Just had quick skin over but it is good idea to replace crew with echelon before trading in for fuel, this can mean you can put a vet crew in Sherman when you get it and will be vetted. Still this doctrine is weak. Maybe keep should have more health |
Obviously i don't know how skilled you are in micro BUT good macro in 2v2 can counteract a proportion of it.
answers
1) sounds like you have a hard time vs OKW. you have to learn to play vs their bullshit. for blobs my recommendation is katyusha. In order to get maximum damage/wipes get to the minimum range, obviously this is risky but the devastation it can cause is incredible. be especially wary of shrek blobs, make sure you have units infront of katyusha. you could also try baiting into demo charge. for USA 2 scotts are probs best for blobs, chip away nicely at them (neat trick if they dont have vet 1 smoke is to use normal smoke barrage nearby when they encounter trouble). AND if you see a t4 panzershwer, look to destroy it as soon as possible via (AT gun [use attack ground if cant scout it], short range katyusha, 120mm, tanks])
2)guards or shock. depends. you also want to be thinking what comes with these doctrines, you'll want to balance out with the usa player since they dont get any heavies. if you are getting fingered up the arse by light vehicles, best to just go with guards, shocks can also be very devastating but would only get one squad since expensive. but overall i would choose doctrine aiming for long term plan. I tend to choose doctrine based on the ostheer player as okw ones arent as threatening imo (pak 43 i suppose and no one uses jagdtiger anymore anyway).Main things to look to counter in ost doc are stuka bomber and tiger/elite. if they have stuka avoid b4, if they have tiger jacksons do nicely.
3) Don't really like phrase unbalanced, you just have to learn whatever the current metagame is and be prepared to counter it. OKW can be very strong, but blobs and forward hq are easy to punish as you know where they all are.
4) you said u started winning, then started losing. that is probably because you elo+ went up/ after 10 games you get ranked. then you get better opponents |
The smoke barrage has been bugged since forever, so annoying. But won't get attention as no one is smart enough to see benefits of smoke frequently enough for relic to hear |
losing ain't so bad when it is a good match, KV1 ftw! |

just never go full retard mode |
Is it just me or do US flame throwers (no matter if on riflemen or ass eng) seem to blow up a lot faster than Sov/ost ones. In addition I use penal flamers sometimes and they never explode. Just wondering if fact or RNG is just always blowing up flamer 1st engagement. Also Riflemen have bug they cannot re-equip flamers after destroyed |
small thing to be concerned about but, why are g43/ppsh upgrade both at 3 cp? seems a bit late, since jagers light inf and shock troops come at 2 cp, why not all 2cp?

but what is the point in having a faction with reduced fuel income if their fuel to tech is a lot cheaper? is it so they can tech at same speed but the vehicles come out slower?. I am impressed how they manage to balance everything out (talking about general faction structure) like russian/wehr tech is more expensive/same price than USA and OKW but USA/OKW get units (usa lt. and cpt.) or helpful buildings (medic/rep/flak OKW) I don't know how it balances out but it seems to |
