Axis, OKW in particular should never complain about having vision problems or allies having vision OP units. Pathfinders maybe need a slight veterancy xp nerf, but other than that, they are completely normal and completely overshadowed by JLI
I'm not complaining about vision in particular. I'm personally complain about synergy and snowballing pathfinders create in teamgames, especially in 4v4.
Sure JLI in a vacum as a combat unit is for sure better, but I never said that paths are OP as a unit. Is the fact that, if you have teammate supporting you you can afford early forward reinforcement and have 0 CP unit which can fight almost like an elite unit in early game (against what enemy can throw at you) then lockdown the area, then snowball into scotts and have vision syneregy.
I mean, sure 4v4 is full of cheese and broken combinations, but Paths right now, imo, is the only cheese awaible from the start of the game and pretty much has no punishing mechanics if played right.
Simular to Pfuss G43 blobs, which are BS on its own right, but at least you have this small window of opportunity when you at least have a chance of beating them back before they start getting out G43 grades.
Against Pathfinders, unless you outplay USF to almost a GG state early, there is litteraly no way you can punish them in early game, since Ost nor OKW are capable of pushing Paths supported by another player. You can just try to outsit them and wait untill LVs, but USF player will just paradop AT gun so you dont even have window before AT gun reach the front line.
I myself played with randoms and premades in 3v3\4v4, against lvl 16-19 USF players using this strat, played myself as USF using this strat against lvl 15-18 Axis. Sure I'm not a super uber competitive pro gamer, but still this is very-very oppressive meta strategy and its very hard to deal with it if the USF player know what he is doing. More often then not, its either RNG\Teammate or USF player fuck up which allows you to fight it back.
My point is, Allies need some cheesy cheese in order to stay competitive in 3v3\4v4, but at least other cheese strategies arent awaible from the start and they dont cover you pretty much from start till late game.
