What was, bar none, THE most busted unit in CoH2 history?

Thought of another thing:

Damage used to stack with demo charges and mines.

I think maybe Tightrope made a video on it. Not 100% sure. Either way, I've been including it in my 4v4 loadout along with the bulletin that makes it build 50% faster. The only actually impactful bulletin in the game lmao.

Oh SNAP. This totally reminded me of OG demo charges that were cloaked. You had to constantly sweep and pay attention to parts of capping circles that your squads would go to if you queued up capping on the mini-map because it was a guaranteed wipe. Also, less OP but more stupid annoying was original soviet mines that didn't have a model kill limit - so if your squad clumped in the wrong way 1 mine could kill your whole squad.

I think the mines were worse than the demo charges, remember they didn't want to nerf it to much at first so you had to maintain vision to discharge it which is why people started mining on it/next to it. However, mining retreat paths with 2/3 mines would usually net you 2/3 wipes without any chance to evade or avoid. It was always worse for OST since people would retreat after losing 1 model due to the PTSD.

how do you even let people mine your retreat paths in your backline?

cant you still do this but instead playing wehr, planting s mines in the enemy retreat path and massacre retreating infantry?

Best thing about the Pak43 is you can smash superfluous new assholes into enemy tanks then willfully deconstruct it for a return of 150mp and 15 fuel, effectively a 200mp and 30 fuel counter to all tanks.

EDIT: oh and with 2 engineers and that bulletin, you can build it in about 20 seconds or so. Good for suprise attacks.

EDIT 2: to begin deconstruction it needs to be out of combat for like 15 seconds or something, but once you begin it can't be stopped unless the gun is decrewed.

That's plain bullshit and placebo. Grens were NEVER that strong (even today, notwithstanding alliedcucks coping) and most importantly they could never melt anything without LMG42.

Stop larping

Free Tiger Ace in 2013 and 4 minute T34 from Soviet Windustry doc.

Brits at release where every unit was OP or bugged (24 dmg tommy rifles, infinite range vickers bug, 1600HP churchills, bugged centaur that wiped a squad inside a garrison within 1 second so it had to be banned in tournaments, british emplacements with double the HP they have now and brace that had no cooldown + global self repairs)

Not true, rifle grenade used to shoot from outside of MG Range and would one shot Maxim Squads. Then when Grenadiers got Veterancy it was like a full screen away that they could launch the Rifle Grenades.

Ah, You can check out any building just by clicking. when it turn red then there is a squad insisde.
that feature ruined garrision play.

After that was fixed, you could still tell because windows would be broken from enemy squads entering the building (even in the fog of war), I believe. Unless they were patched at the same time.

Nope, still there just like you can tell where a vehicle is early game when fences and shit break in the FOW. Really helpful when you go for sniper.

There was a time when OKW scavenger doctrines call in arty didn't had a cap on how many shells were fired. you only needed 500 ammo to delete your opponent's base and win the game. Back then the okw could also convert fuel into ammo giving you an ammo income of 60-80
