Like paths maybe not overpowered in teamgames, yet, they are still the meta.

They are beatable yes, but they are still way too cost effective then they should be. They trade well with any early game inf, if you play them right (tho highly depends on who you are playing against).

Its basically the same with DAK m13 spam. Its not overpowered, if you know its coming and have experience fighting it. But you still have very small room for mistakes against it and while you are might be winning engagements, enemy is taking much less punishment then he would in any other situation.

Not to mention that main problem with paths, is the build itself, not the unit. They are super oppressive early, and because if the low cost USF can either go fast MG\Sniper later to be backed up by multiple zook paras and stale until tanks.

DAK is having less problems with paths early, if they go for x2 flame pios x2 bers for instance early or even try to rush flame 250 (but if there is competent UKF in the team he most likely will save USF player from it).

But wehr really struggles against paths opening imo. Since you cant really rely on your inf, while all your support tools always will be either smoked or spotted via flares. MP40 might be a good option, but since you can see enemy commanders strate off the bat, you don't even have a surprise factor.

Funny enough, most of these types of icons are basically 3D model loaded into any 3D software and rendered in full white, then in programs like Photoshop black outline is added ... and its done. No skills required what so ever. But its Relic.

This is a bug (I guess) and it happens with MGs in any garrison from any arty, not only from breach.

I've witnessed it dozens of time already, especially when I play UKF, since they have shit ton of call-in arty.
If MG is in garrison and being hit by pretty much any call-in arty, gun itself will be destroyed like 99% of the time, making MG crew just retreat off the map.

First of all which mode are you playing? If 1v1 then you're probably right and you can dismiss what I'm saying, if not then most of what you're saying is complete rubbish I'm sorry

All of them. Mostly teamgames. What you are saying, sounds more like you are either playing a pre-mades or against noobs honestly. All you are talking about, is basically dragging the game into a late mid or late game or basically out-playing your opponent, which competent allied player wont allow you to do or at least he will be snowballing like crazy. We already got this "gitgud and rush this particular green cover on this particular map" approach in balancing CoH2, thank you very much.

Pathfinders are literally the 3-man Scout squad with one extra soldier, the utility package and a rifle-nade. They lose hard vs charging DAK Pgrens and they are also pretty much defenseless vs Grenadiers + Sniper support. Yeah they give you a lot of map control in the first 5min but then they fall apart like wet paper, unless you're fighting vs a clueless opponent who just builds 2 MGs + grens and hopes for the best

By the time US player have 4 paths, you have 1 PG, 1 ST and 250. I fail to see how you will be charging 4 or even 3 paths with your PGs. As for gren sniper, nothing stops US player to either use their own sniper (since going paths with T1 is pointless) or just use vet 1 ability to catch sniper. On top of that, US player will for sure just be sitting somewhere doing nothing, letting Wehr player get grens and sniper out.

What LV are we talking about here? The Flakvierling is on par with the quad flak and zook paras can be easily avoided by a mobile suppression platform if you give it some sight.

If we consider that you are not playing against an idiot, you most likely wont win early engagements before your flak HT. Zooks here are simply to zone you out, not letting you use flak aggressively.

The 76mm sherman is the one single thing that US got going for them that could be called overpowered, but it's very expensive hence arriving at a very late stage of the game and it forces you to go 1 specific support center.

How is it expensive? Not only you are not forced to pick it before your first sherman, if you do, it arrives minute or two later then wehr P4.

DAK Pgrens with CA beat tommies under pretty much all circumstances

Like you will be fighting 1 un-upgraded tommie under CA early game.

While Italian CA is arguably the best DAK doctrine at the moment, saying that the faction is "on life support" without it is complete BS. Pgrens with CA have the best stats across all mainline inf squads (and in 2v2-4v4 it's certainly not hard to park a 250 or flakvierling near your grens), they have a non-doctrinal nuke heavy mortar, a dirt-cheap 90 meters scout vehicle and most importantly: The ridiculously strong Armory upgrades that turn your tanks into the best of the game

No-one cares about CA or how their armor becomes the best one in the game, if competent allied players just let you win early game, because you are at constant disadvantage via units on the field.

Gustatori have 40mp reinforce cost, US sniper obliterates DAK manpower and DAK already has massive MP shortages as all their upgrades are very MP expensive, mainline costs 300 or 320 and does not live up to its cost.

Against DAK, Rifles are perfectly fine and perform accordingly to their cost, its when LVs show up when US starts to struggle if no AT is present.

Well Guastatori reinforcement cost is justified, since they can pretty much 1v2 even without flamers, as for DAK PGs they just blows, I myself just gave up on them, better to just spend additional 20MP and use Bersaliery, since at least they have normal long range damage, free upgrades and can use their utility sprint.

Sniper spam is a problem for both US\Wehr, every time I face try hards either US ones of Wehr ones, the all go for double sniper, tho requires a teammate with a braincells.

As for AT, US meta is mech support center, since 76mm sherman is basically a mini tiger but also it allows you to just get yourself muni free M5 with a howi at 5 min mark to fight pretty much any LV. So if US is stuggling against LVs, its not a faction but a player problem.

Point here, if there is balance patch, then it should address all cheesing at the same time, because basically right now cheese is countering other cheese.
