Demolition

I could put there literally anything wehrmacht have, starting from free rifle nades and pfaust, ending on tanks that are much stronger then any other for the sake of argument.

No different for OKW.

So please, stop looking for excuses, your beloved faction of choice got more advantages then you think so, but you don't know because you never fight against it.

Accept asymetrical balance and play other army if you like their features more, SS won't shoot anyone for not being blind axis lovers if you play other side of the fence if you like other armies features.

You have literally no control of your own snide-snark tone do you?

One point you also missed, Katitof, is that each army generally has some equivalent of what the other army has. It's not like cons have molotovs but noone else has any kind of grenade. It's not like Ost has a HT for reinforcing and noone else has a HT / reinforce point. Everyone has their own version of things. So chew on that while you're screaming "ASSYMETRICAL BALANCE!"

No but I'm trying.

No, not really.


And so on and so forth.

So no, other then having generalist tank and a way to damage engine and some form of on map arty. There are some similarities, but its hardly equivalent. Comparing soviet M5 or wehr 251 to OKW medic truck isn't really valid.

Or what is equivalent of pshrecks for OKW for soviets? AT nades?
Minor similarities, no equivalents of everything hidden in other units.

My point still stands.

You know what "some" means?

What is soviet equivalent for stock long range AI infantry? Guards DP

What is soviet equivalent for tank smoke? Mortar smoke

What is allies equivalent for mine field? Doctrinal AI mine

What is axis equivalent for T34/85? P4

What is allies equivalent for MGs that can counter light armor effectively(incendiary rounds)? DsHK

What is OKW equivalent for snipers? I count G43 fusilier with sturmofficer

What is soviet/OKW equivalent for teller mines? Mines with demo

What is soviet equivalent of actual arty barrage off map? Sturmvik bombing run

What is axis equivalent of M3/dodge? 250

Katitoff, you really lose all credit after our last game. :/

Last time you blamed our loss on katiusha and my team mate fail(can't find a better one with my playing schedule). One can hold only so long if team mate suicides tigers "because it was worth it" and tier buildings are nuked over and over.

Let's stick to the original post rather than point fingers who prefers which faction.

We all have our faction/side which we prefer over others.

To the actual post, I have to admit, never crossed my mind that this would be an issue. Demos are a neat trick, which I unfortunately forget too often. Also when playing Axis, I haven't really thought that it's something I absolutely need. Sure, you might get squad wipes every now and then but also attacks should be lead in general by minesweeping squad.

Some mega derailing going on here....

Okw get booby traps which you cant detect and the other german mine field is sick its huge!! Ofc you can mine detector it but that slows you down and costs you ammo.

90 ammo is not cheap but the other day I got 5 squads with the usa demos lol I just spammed 4 of them and built ammo caches, no riflemen at all.

They do well and let you float so much manpower. By the time they had p4s ect I had hellcats and then bulldozers. 2 hellcats raped a tiger with 2 bulldozers taking the damage.

I was messing around as I give up on random 2v2 for ranked but it turned out pretty good. Just demo key points and enjoy

While I don't mind only the allies having it, I think the ability to lay them anywhere and everywhere should be reconsidered. Perhaps onlyon structures of some kind?

It's a pretty esy way to get squad wipes :/ Perhaps if they weren't invisible? I understand mines being invisible, they're underground. But demo is on the surface. Ostheer AI mines have signposts, could a little black box be added to demo?



And Katitof, there's that snide and snarky tone again. Why not just say "balance is assymetrical, some armies have units/abilities which others do not"? Why can't you just speak civilly to people here? Why are you so angered by every post you see that you have to reply in such a way? The guy asked a fair question, give a decent answer eh?
