Maybe make a recon commander for OKW that has a chance to counter maxim spam and soviet sniper..

sniper team, Smoke nades for volks Scout vehicle, Arty and a fast medium tank like PAnzer III.

fallschirmjaeger and, to a lesser extent, JLI are both soft counters to the maxim and sniper. once you spot a sniper next to a structure you can spawn them and quickly kill them or force a retreat and hopefully kill them on their retreat path.

the kubelwagens vet 1 ability is basically maphack.

there are definitely ways around it.

This is wrong. GOod player will always have building occupied.

so a 'good' player will always have every building on semois occupied? how bout kharkov? or how about ettelbruck?

i've killed many snipers with pre-patch JLI and i've had some success with the fallschirmjager post patch as well. every now and then youll call in on an occupied building, but thats the risk you take when you dont have vision of the building youre trying to call in.

i didnt get to top 10 as OKW by complaining about balance and ignoring advice. you have to learn the tools you have and apply them to your problem.

JLI is shit now. And is poor man sniper. Ostwind not light tank, and there are no recon options for this doctrine nor a sniper.

He is top 10 in 2v2. That easy to do if you have good partner.

This doctrine is still one of the best OKW has, tbh.

I'd trade that 100-fuel Ostwind for a stuka or a Panzer IV any day.

I agree, it is one of my most used now for 2v2, the patched JLI might not have the close range firepower they once did, but they seem better at range. Also allowing them to throw the infiltration grenades has given them a means to combat enemies who get too close. The biggest buff though, IMO, is the cost decrease, only 300 MP to spawn allows me call 3-5 a game and they really compliment Volks and Sturms as long range damage.

What if I told you that you don't HAVE to use everything from the doctrine you pick up?

Don't give them ideas. It'll just end up being all infrared units and IR upgrades.

Example: IR NV upgrade for the King Tiger. ("Aim at the orange blob!")

That's actualy how they are used best. Mixed with your base infantry units.

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
Last Thursday, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 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.
Last Thursday, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.

Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.
