already!

I dont know if there is, or how it sounds, but in my language we say that "there is an exception which confirms general rule" which is perfect in this cause. Casue winning agasint overpoped USF is not impossible, but it does not change the fact that most of the time you wont win. But it applies to something you cannot change (you dont have control over it) - 8-10 E8s charging in front of Pak43 & JT supported with schrecks won't do a pudding, so it must come with an idea how to use it. Give 10 E8s to someone new and you will wreck him. Give 10 E8s to someone experienced and he will wreck everyting

And what about S Tiger? The Nuke machine, built on the chasis of a Tiger and only needs to get within striking range for a second, then pull back to safety of flak HQ, rakkettens in buildings and shrek blob.

Cos other factions have anything remotley similar to this...

Too much micro is demanded to hit. It's not Delete-button which people want

1. Use smoke launchers on the Sherman to give cover to allied units
2. Make use of pop cap abuse, especially with Priests as they do not need to be crewed while waiting for barrage recharged
3. Dropping .50 cal's and AT guns for Soviet players to use
4. Supporting IS2's with Jacksons
5. decrewing tanks sitting around doing nothing in order to help repair friendly tanks
6. giving tanks to players with lots of unfilled popcap, thus reducing the amount of micro you need to personally do
7. Using focus sight on SU-85 or ISU in conjunction with Jacksons
8. Using mark target the same time as P-47's
9. Keeping medics out of their truck to allies can use their heals.
10. USF recon + soviet global abilities.

And all of this Axis can do as well or do it better.

1. Smoke from mortar.
2. If your enemy is abusing pop cap you already have lost.
3. Wut
4. Stomped by KT/Tiger/Panther covered by Elephnat/Jadgtiger
5. Rep sation to repair friendly vehicles
6. Again, if you let enemy to abuse pop cap you already have lost.
7. Jadgpanzer can spot without losing mobility, periscops and amazing in teamgames ht searchlight which I would even call OP in 4v4.
8. And P47 are gone after first strafe due to Flat HT, also Panther can mark as well and JU strike is not worse than P47. Its even better.
9. Med truck, med bunkers.
10. CAS

And there are more Ostheer commanders for teamgames, like Joint Operation but you decided not to put it in.

You're also saying about IS2 and ISU yet you put commanders without them.

If you pick a shitty commander you are going to lose to IS2's, ISU's, T34/85 hordes, and get pop cap abused to hell and back.

Let's not try and pretend that the Ostheer Panther isn't extremely expensive to get to, let's not pretend the KT is cheap to get to and that it wasn't nerfed literally a month ago.

OKW doesn't have the most basic form of team game scaling, caches, which is given to every single faction but OKW allowing a player to focus on supporting your team mates with resources instead of just making more units.

An Allied team can split the cost of a bunch of caches between all the players, a Axis team is forced to make 1 or 2 players make all the caches and for a MP starved faction like Ostheer that can be quite difficult.

Yes, cause Panthers, Pz4 horde, Jadgpanzers cannot win agasint IS2, ISU ot T34/85

In teamgames T4 price for OST does not matter.

OKW has conversion.

I mean... You are just retarded. There no point taking with you. You don't see this? Everyone here agrees about something, most of them are player with bigger experience than you, yet you are totally different and try to negate everything. It's just to much for me to handle this tons of pudding.

And by the way, Aerohank must be shitty player since he's teching with Ostheer in 1v1 to get a Panther almost always.

(A) Why do you try to project relations conerning squad wipes from totally different types of RTS onto CoH2? CoH2 is more tactical and about preserving squads and preventing to lose them to super units/abilities being granted the chance to react in order to safe them.

I can neither tell from my experience nor from replays that OKW/Soviets do necessarily float more MP than USF/Ostheer. It is dependent on many factors like winning engagements, map design and RNG. If you win engagements as USF in the greater time of the game without losing too many models and use heal you clearly float MP. If you lose many models as OKW or even squads due to bad play you will not float MP or you will be temporarily at disatvantage if you do not replace squads. There are campy situations in maps like Langreskaya where you do not fight much. Consequently, MP float on both sides can evolve. What I am trying to explain is that MP float is not necessarily dependent on faction to 100%.


(B) The Axis tanks with squad wipe potential you list are either doctrinal (Tiger and Tiger Ace) or come very late (King Tiger) or can be easily dogded/engaged by skilled players (Brummbär and Sturmtiger). Sturmtiger can maybe wipe some squads because it would come surprisingly as nobody would expect it due to not being a viable option but apart from that first surprising strike skilled players will prevent further damage coming from Sturmtiger. Sturmtiger as well as Brummbär bring you in the situation where you will not have enough fuel to produce or call in tanks which can handle late game vehicles from Soviets or numerous vehicles from USF.
Ostwind is quite powerful if used correctly but counter reaction come swiftly. Soviets whilst waiting for call ins could have problems to deal with it. But even then you are exposed to IS2/T34/85s without proper PaK40 management.

Why do you think Axis has more squad wipe potential than Allies? I disagree with you in both numbers and efficiency.
You completely forgot demo charges, Katyusha, Scotts and B4 (which can be easily countered by Luftwaffe though). Not to mention that squad wipes like these from Tigers can also happen whilst using T34/85s. Mortars and Katyushas can use precision strikes which cost munition but are efficient enough mostly resulting in instant squad wipes. ISU-152 takes time to reload but is still able to wipe squads regularly. KV8 can definitely wipe squads when you catch them without AT support covering them.

Furthermore I do not understand why you compare HE Sherman with doctrinal Stug E.
And doctrinal Bulldozer is not worse than Brummbär. Bulldozer comes earlier, at a lower cost and wipes infantry more reliably.

I'm comparing pure math game vs game with RNG involved. It's just my personal feeling that pure math games are boring. It's the matter of taste and nothing to argue here.

Whenever Im tired after 12-14h on feet, I play 4v4. As USF, late-game is always hard in terms of man power. It's because of many things. Rifles dying like flies in late game and me being tired. Yet when I pick up OKW, I can blob like hell Volks with Fusiliers, forget about any tactical movement, expose mysefl to losses, yet I still have MP to reinfore.

They are doctrinal, just like Soviets counterparts but about King Tiger I don't agree. In 1v1 it's very late unit. In 2v2 it's late unit but in 3v3 or 4v4 it's damn early unit. 14-18min (depends upon map control and doctrines). Sometimes your first T34/76 hits the field in same time when King Tiger.

I'm comparing units, so demo charge has no place here. Katy is very powerful at wiping squads but same thing could be said about Stuka or even PzWerfer under right circumstances.
Scott has no counterpart so I skipped it. And B4 is powerful, but right now almost no one uses it - at least I faced only one player with this doctrine since patch.

All vehicles can wipe, but numbers are agasint T34/85 when comparing to Tiger.
As for mortars I said eariler that they are a way better in terms of wiping than Axis ones so I don't know why you brought it up.

Bulldozer is cheaper but it does not come eariler (only in 1v1). In 2v2 and above OST player can get Panther or Brummbar around 15-17min with good map control. I belive sometimes it's faster than 9CPs. What's more, Brummbar has bigger AoE and less scatter, can fight vehicles cause of better penetration, has more health points and better armor. No wonder why Bulldozer is cheaper.

I compared HE Sherman and Stuge E cause they are used mainly for the same purpose.
