High Skill USF gameplay is just so micro intensive

I’ve gotten to 74 USF in 1s by just blobbing 3 rifles, a ranger, a Cpt, a Rear Echelon and a Major, all with BARs, into the enemy cutoff/retreat path and deleting everything. The strat works perfectly, especially with cover to cover and M4 into CalliOP.

Nothing really unexpected here, there are like 10 extremely good players across all factions, 20 more good ones and then above average starts.

Nothing like vaguely defining the entire 1v1 playerbase to fit your point that a strat that works doesn’t work.

Name 1 well known player(known for their skill) with ranks between 50 and 100.
That should be telling enough.

I am not getting pushed at all. The guy on my side lost every single engagement and then isntead of trying to learn to play blobbed 6 rifles into my Ostheer random teammate.

Almost like blobbing all your units into one blob is not enough for USF anymore. They now need to blob all units of all palyers on the team into one blob.

Then 20 minutes later they surrendered after complaining about Stuka.

What are you even calling for to solve with rifleman nerfs? You won.

Fuzzi, DaPopeCoH, Zeva the angry Dutchman, JaeForJett (50+ with EF factions), Tightrope (40-56ish), TwistedTootsy (non usf), borobadger (40ish), Tiefflieger, Finnded, etc

Some of them have have 20ish ranks with some factions, but I think if they have 2 50ish ranks they qualify.

Now you can say they’re not well known, in which case I’d say that’s not up to you to decide since you don’t play 1s.

Tootsy and tightrope are both top 30, calling them top 50 is borderline insulting with the skill they possess. Vonivan has been top player with every faction bar Brits and struggles against Tootsy each time they head off.

I have a different question, what does "playing the game properly" mean?

Look at this amazing rank 5 USF 2v2 pro player gameplay.

Amazing skill, much brain, big wow.



Thank you Relic for promoting such high-level gameplay. It really takes so much skill to lose every engagement and as a solution blob 6 Rifles together and a move across the map. Strategic masterminds at work.

Next patch lets buff Riflemen some more so this strategy is not as challenging to execute ok?

Meanwhile OKW and OST can G43 blob to pretty much the same effect so it's not like this is a USF specific problem. I mean I get OPs point... It's super frustrating to feel like you have to put so much effort to counter low-level play that doesn't fully utilize Coh'2 combined arms/cover system when you should just be able to outplay them into a quick win. But what does OP expect to change? *waits for the derp derp just have a nerf aura if someone has 3+ units in close proximity*

The strat also works for every other army out there. If you manage to bring 60 supply worth of heavily upgraded infantry into an enemies cut-off and retreat path, you are going to wipe whatever tries to run the gauntlet. If there are 4 upgraded Panzerfussies, an Obersquad, and a sturmpio on your retreat path, you are going to lose every unit on retreat too...
