Profile of Katitof

Clearly Ostheer is now worst faction and even if you have supreme strategic and micro skills you will roughly win against same skilled opponent with USF or UKF (against Russians it is not that bad). Few examples:

Ost always had high micro tax, but recent changed gave it many indirect buffs, mine change alone is HUGE as there are not longer random squad loses, while s-mines still wipe squads with 2-3 mines.

1) Grenadiers are weak as hell and loose almost every fight with Riflemans of Tommies (the rate of Tommies of sniping models is insane); MG42 upgrade does not help

The moment you will finally realize that grenspam is dead and combined arms is the ONLY way to go will be the moment you'll stop thinking that.

2) Panzergrenadiers come in most case too late to balance the blobs of Allied infantry

Don't play 4v4?
There are no blobs in 5th minute, unless you play that scrubfest.

3) Panzerwerfer has become pretty much useless since Relic nerfed it to the hell (as expensive fireworks it works) - you can compare it against overpowered or underpriced Calliope - can by destroyed with one antitank hit (like Katyusha, but Panzerwerfed should be at least more armoured than Katyusha)

Well, it wasn't supposed to be a doomsday, it still is incomparably better and much more deadly then katy.

4) Ostheer (same OKW, but it has some other strong points) has barely such smoke options as USF (only dosctrinal)

Ostheer has smoke option from the very first building they can get, they have it doctrinal on the tanks and as off-map plane. Their smoke options are enough, but the only single player I've ever seen utilizing them was StephennJF.

5) British Comet can compete quite good for example Tiger, which you can have only one on the battlefield and it is more expensive; and you can have more of them

British are designed to fight heavy tanks with ease.
You might want to consider that next time you'll want to get a tiger against them.

6) Pershing performs like beast and has pop cap just like Panther? WTF

You might want to check Pershings HP, armor and cost.

7) I have no clue, why Elefant lost ability tracking - this made it pretty much useless

Because it was batshit OP, eliminated need for scouting, allowed for pretty much map hack with spotting scopes and rewarded no skill.
Same thing happened to ISU.

8) Pak vs M1 57mm and 6-pounder - needs but at least against infantry; or nerf Allied AT

Now I'm 100% positive that you're mental or at the very least under the influence of some serious hard drugs.

and so on... I think that main problem is, that ostheer has no real strong point (in COH1 it was veterancy and much better tanks) - infantry is weak, armour is not good as it should be (in my opinion) and artillery with air support are in most cases weaker than Allied. US mortar was already mentioned.

The strong point of ost is combined arms, if you will constantly keep ignoring the options you have, you will always feel weak, because you yourself are limiting your options, despite having everything you need.

OH is supposed to use combined arms... but wait. USF has every tool now to cancel that out... how stupid. This game is ment for OH to be on the back foot and once again always respond to the enemy actions

Wait.. so armies are actually build to be able to actually counter each other and actually fight instead of being steamrolled? OMFG! What a revelation!

Does scatter apply when attacking tanks?

Yes, but only when you roll miss.

They all cost more but require less to reinforce. This doesn´t make sense, since they are all more powerful then grens.

Or do they?
4x28 > 3x30 therefore rifles cost more to reinforce.
5x22 > 3x30 therefore Penals cost more to reinforce.
4x28 > 3x30 therefore tommies(5-men) cost more to reinforce.

Are you even aware that there is universal reinforce formula and *drumroll* mostly axis units are exception, paying LESS then they should?

USF mortar makes mg play impossible, it comes too fast and fires faster and more accurate than the old ostheer turbo mortar. Then we have smoke from riflemen, heavy mortars etc. MG42 is countered by t1 USF like it is nothing. Add a lovely mortar pit in there with UKF, that can hit 70/80% of most 1v1 maps and guess what, mg42 useless.

And obviously, we will never see any balance tweaks in the future for newely added unit.
Rifle smoke wasn't an issue for the last 2 years, its not an issue now.
Try to get some sanity if you thing soviet heavy mortar is even half as deadly as it was, its standard mortar for 50% higher cost, much slower RoF and 20 more range at the moment.
MG42 is not supposed to be uncounterable death diller, maybe you should consider building T2?
The pit will never be weaker then mobile indirect fire units and will never have less range then them. ISG existence means it will always be 100 range itself and guess what? Snipers are more mobile and hardcounter USF and UKF infantry just fine.

Sure, but then allow Grens the same pleassure of either a 5th men, or a double upgrade. This isn´t fair, neither is it balanced. You have to rely on grens, which you can´t in the late game vs penals, double bar riflemen and double bren tommies. Then we have the lunacy of grens costing the most to reinforce out of all the mainline infantry, but they get beaten by all of the above mentioned.

Except it is fair and balanced.
This is why it was balanced like that.
If you can't accept the need for combined arms, enjoy 2k+ rank.
When you'll finally acknowledge that you need L2P, join Siberian or Hans streams and LEARN FROM BETTER PLAYERS HOW TO PLAY.

Ah yes I know, but to that I say to you: USF super mortar/ UKF mortar pit with insane range and free immortaility shield/ Soviet heavy mortar that

USF mortar and smoke make MG42s useless now. Mortar pit destroys static MG42 play. Good luck having to move your support weapons constantly, not to mention them dying to one volley of a mortar pit or 2 volleys of a USF mortar.

I've addressed mortars already and so did you, stop running circles, start learning from better players.
Simply watching the crap they do and then being able to just repeat that allows ME to keep rank 400 as one of my worst ranks and ~170 as one of my best ones without dedicating hundreds of hours into the game.

Unless you're Brits. Brace TROLOLOL

Well, you can't really retreat emplacements and everything that was even remote threat to OKW trucks was battered with nerfs where its not an issue, unless you don't know where your pios went instead of repairing stuff.
