Greetings all,
Since I'll be heading home in a couple months from overseas, I was wondering what opinions players had on USF now. Has USF changed significantly in terms of play style and tactics or is it still a riflemen centric faction? I have read the patch notes but I wanted to hear peoples experience with them than just theory crafting.
USF Current State?

It still boils down to Riflemen and M36s. Riflemen blobs remain an extremely potent play and M36s are the best TDs in the game. With a dose of 2xPack Howies for crushing OST. Pineapples can come online earlier but they were such a core build that's not really saying much.
I've seen AB/Ranger zooka blobs for dealing with vehicles and while they can credibly threaten late game Axis armor, they're too expensive to be a real option.

For Italy! We have outfoxed the enemy once more!

Still infantry centric with good support weapons and mobile but softer armor.
Not much has changed besides the fact Pershing got nerfed and a bit pricier, Cheaper Grenades is a solid buff and now the Jackson will never bounce a PZ4 shot.
Nothing else has changed substantially.

Forget about T0 call in infantry, rifles are superb now. Go 3 rifles into Captain, then abuse his supervise for building and upgrading. Get an early AT gun vs okw or an AAHT vs Ostheer. Get a pack if opponent is static. Get weapon racks around 7-9 mins and BAR your 3 rifles and your rear echelons. Get Major and an elite infantry unit if your doc has it, then go M4A3 and a 2nd AT gun.

Urban Assault for me.
Nothing like baiting a pak wall into firing at my M4A3 dozer, only for CalliOP to delete it.

What kind of BO do you use, if I may ask. Kinda on the struggle bus with usf in 2v2s.

Riflemen have had their close range distance buffed from 3 to 5, so they're stronger now than since you've last played.
Don't know if you were there after the USF tech rework, but yeah, they got their tech reworked.
M20 crew no longer comes with a zook.
Jackson had +5 fuel, and -20 armor (which doesn't affect much), but is otherwise untouched.
Paras got better RA
LT is still more popular.

Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.

Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?

Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive.

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
