This is my feeling as well.

As the game moves forward infantry become a liability to you as they cost mp but do little. One shot wipes are still very high for Ost, and two shot wipes are common for Soviets (which is little better). Watching vet 3 infantry evaporate to most tanks in the late game is stupid. Why did I work so hard to preserve them?

+1 I have noticed alot of one shot whipes lately. Maybe RNG has been in my favor but I dont remember getting this many one shot whipes before the latest patch with anything that was not IS2.

T34/85s have been whiping Ost squads alot on Semoisky. Right next to the church they come around the corner hugging the wall and BLAMO two dead squads of Grens to an AT tank....

The PTRS's are fine as they are. Whenever i'm up against Guard Infantry, I always have to be careful with my vehicles or the Guards will completely destroy them. Good range, good damage and fairly cheap; if anything, the PTRS should nerfed since it's ridiculously good for the price. Even in the hands of Conscripts, the PTRS's are extremely potent.

I like the way it is currently. Tanks are strong but Infantry AT keeps them in-check. They can't freely roam without risking Engine Damage, so they need infantry to support them. All that needs fixed is the ISU, M3 spam, and call-ins being more worth it can teching.

I don't think infantry necessarily becomes a liability late game they just switch roles roles from the main vanguard of your force to a supporting force that should be used in conjunction with the vehicles to control the maps, the game is trying to say don't use anything on their own, u need a balance of vehicles and infantry later in the game, if you watch good players like Barton, twister siberian etc they keep their infantry until the late game and use them to harass territory, steal at guns scout anything, i don't see any of those good players only using vehicles in the late game

unless your going up against ISU-152 then you can forget about infantry completely because the damn thing can one shot a vet 3 squad from across the map

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
