is this site basically just whiners, or does anyone have useful strats to suggest ? For example, I find that the only UKF doctrine that's any good is Air and Sea. Has anyone had any luck with others ? Or, it seems axis pio spam is making a comeback, is there an allied equivalent ?

Well I wouldnt say whiners exactly. People wish the game was closer to Coh2. This blobbing, no skill, weird sound, bright colors game is not to their taste.

Personally I think it is getting better. I keep seeing gradual improvements. And it is a decent game for most low-mid ELO players.

That said, many here are in the mid-high ELO bracket and are not playing the game currently.

There isn't really an Allied equivalent to Axis pio spam. I'm kind of glad about that. It's a swill game style.

Both Australian Defense and Indian Artillery are viable options to Air Land and Sea on some maps. The -25% reinforcement cost from Indian Artillery helps if you're caught in a scrum over a VP. Australian Defense is good on maps like Steppes or the river one that turns into an arty and bunker fest. It might seem counterintuitive, but the emplacements work ok. They don't really kill many units, but the other team has a tendency to arty the shit out of them, which is less pressure on your infantry. The Bofors won't kill anything, but it will somewhat lock down a single point if supported, and it does help against loiters.

Yeah, I think my frustration with people who play Australian is that they all seem to think that the specialist troops are good at CQC, so they create a bunch of those and run them at the enemy. I won't argue that the emplacements aren't good despite being obvious targets for arty. Indian BG is all right but my main frustration is that a lot of the arty abilities take too long to acquire. Also the Ghurkas are fairly useless until they vet. The heavy mortar itself is 400mp. For something that is slow and ponderous to move and an easy target for arty, I would rather spend that 400 on something else.

The Australian unit is horrid at close range. They do okay when they stay back and use the targeting ability, which helps greatly on Axis elite infantry. I normally only get one or two. If you see someone using them for their mainline, you'll probably be happier leaving the game and taking the cooldown.

The heavy mortar isn't that bad, just don't think of it as a big 82mm. When you bring them in, convert one truck to a AA truck. Then use the long range flare to plan attacks. It ends up being worth it in the end. It will get wiped multiple times by nebelwerfers so I often don't bother trying to get it back to full health. I only get it on the couple of maps where there is a city battle for the center VP. It's trash on practically anything else. Also, withdraw and refit gives an okay amount for the truck so they end up not being too expensive if you don't need the truck.
