There is a huge difference.

OKW scavenger arty actually wins the game in 1 click vs USF. Literally, it wins the game via annihilation. The clumped USF base will fall to the self-repeating arty.

Tell me how that is in any way the same as USF arty that doesn't even kill 1 building per use?

Yeah, i probably jumped on you a bit too early. Nevermind what i said, still i think the easy one click truck nuke should be gone, as i also admitted the scavenger doctrine artillery is ridiculously OP right now, and needs to be looked by the balance team.

Punishing a forward medi truck is a huge hit to the Oberkommando player, especially if it comes at no cost (or risk), or a very low one. If trucks could be called in when needed, it would be okay, but the 3 minutes timer is everything.

Being able to "spread" the base is a feature for the OKW, but if as you suggest, blatant OPness of some abilities push the players to just settle for the starting area, then something is flawed. A whole faction design, or counters are too strong. As i said in the Scavenger artillery topic, i'm all in for a targeted "artillery resistance" that would apply only to USF and Oberkommando base structures. Would probably solve most of the issues. USF can't decide their base setup and positionning, and OKW somehow rely on this mobility to be able to compete with the other factions, that sounds fair to not punish everyone with one win buttons, don't you think ?

That's okay. It takes a real man to admit they made a mistake.
From my experience the artillery strike doesn't take town the HQs in one move. Since the nerf it usually leaves them at around 30%. Leaving them extremely vulnerable, but still needing something else to finish it off.

"Let's just nerf the USA into nerfbliviion. 90% Axis isn't sufficient!"

Yeah its broken but so is the OKW

I bought vCoH on January 3rd, 2007.
Still missing the days of vCoH 1.71. It had it's issues, like paks sniping 57s, and the strafe didn't work, but overall, it was probably the most balanced time in CoH history.

OF ruined that. CoH 2 is....balanced in a nasty way. Everyone has an equal stockpile of gamebreaking bullshit. USA is full of early game BS while the OKW doesn't get its BS until late game. It's just a question of how badly you exploit the faction's shit and how quickly, after a patch, you discover the gaping holes of bullshit Relic leaves. But either way, it's all BS. The only "BS" in vCoH that was gamechanging was the fast m8 vs a bunker.
