Just back and blobbing is meta level 16 above

Where is the balance in 1 v 1? Good thing we have COH3.

What faction are you playing as?

Jump back to quoted post20 Jul 2021, 04:09 AMOperator09

I don't think it matters now sire.

Whenever I play OKW, I see US 3 rifleman blob or Soviet's 3 Penals blob or Infantry Section 3 blob.

Whenever I play USF, I see 3-4 Volks blob.

They melt MG like a rear echelon, pioneer. LOL

Maybe it's just it for level 16 above rank.

Yeah, the combined Commander Patch and Winter Patch have killed all the fun out of 1v1s. Just play Wehr, it's the only faction that plays normally right now.

what significant changes has happened that affected blobs or made blobbing easier?

Ive recently played a few games and have countered blobs quite easily

play hit and run style?

Jump back to quoted post21 Jul 2021, 02:35 AMSpoof

Sov T1 buff and the Vickers K rework + raid sections. As an OKW main it's just not fun because there's not many good options to counter blobs late game (unlike Wehr which still has the Brummy and Pwerfer).

I should mention I haven't played a serious 1v1 since the Winter update dropped so I may be out of the loop.

OKW loses if they don't have momentum because their starting infantry gets worse comparatively to their opponents as time passes.

Dude, you main as OKW.

OKW had the most powerful ctrl+1 A-move blob in the game.
Blob up 4 G43 Fusilier and two Rakentenwerfer behind, literally you can play it with one hand.

WTF?
Ober? Fusiliers? Jagar Light? Sturmpio that literally a PG?

It's not quite that easy. OKW loses if they don't have momentum because their starting infantry gets worse comparatively to their opponents as time passes. The best advice is probably to push aggressively at the 6-8 minute powerspike when Volks unlock StGs, your HQ unlocks MG34s, and your light vehicles start to come out.

Except Obers come at 10+ minutes and Sturms (who are much worse than PGs) fall off hard literally minutes after the game begins. Fusiliers have the trade off of being weaker yet more expensive from the start which is not ideal in 1v1s. Jaegers I must admit are pretty flawless.

Ah yes, getting 4 G43 Fusiliers and 2 Raks in a 1v1. It would be nice to be able to but if your opponent has half a brain he'll shut you down instantly.
