USA faction Change to make the more appealing:

- Reduce the price of the BAR to equip to 50 mun.

- Add a light mortar more in the lieutenant building :
Production/reinforce cost: 230/20 manpower
Population cap: 5
Abilities:
Basic auto-firing -free
Fire smoke barrage - 5 mun.
Hold fire - free
vet 1 -10% setup time;
Vet 2 -15% Scatter -30% Ability Recharge;
Vet 3 +25% Range;

- Lower the captain's building fuel requirement at 65, but increase it's manpower cost at 240;

-Lower the Major's building fuel requirement at 75 but increase it's manpower cost at 270.

-Reduce the time the Sherman need to switch ammo type by 25%.

-Add Call CAP to Major instead of call air recon for 100 mun/120 secs cooldown : Will prevent one air attack or cancel one enemy recon. Last 30 sec. in both case. It must be called before an enemy raid to prevent it, but maybe called during a air recon to cancel it.).

-Add Call air recon to Captain at the same previous cost.

USF is fun early game, but late game comes to be a hughe struggle.

Not really. USF is by far the hardest and most frustrating faction in the game to play. You start off at a disadvantage already by literally having no counter to mg's, aside from smoke, however smoke cost 25 fuel and doesn't work against the kubel. The game just keeps going downhill, because in the late game you have to deal with the onslaught of Super German tanks killing your paper tanks. US just either needs new commanders, buffs or an entire redesign, because right now it's just sad.

Better scaling of riflemen would take care of this, as was the case in vCoH. It would make unit preservation even more important and give the USF player a good chance of not falling behind simply because of time. Vet 3 riflemen in vCoH were badass, but it required the skill not to loose your squads in early engagements. I and many with me loved that dynamic.

The counter to MGs is called flanking. Works perfect following some training.

I disagree with you about priest being shit. If you had a brain you would remember that Relic said howitzers perform better the closer they are. If you are using it at max range good luck hitting something without veterency.

I feel it's the bar's upgrade. Make the upgrade global, make it cost 60 fuel to give bar upgrade to rifles.

You know, iirc, bars weren't a global upgrade originally in vCoH either. And it was these current devs that made it a global upgrade.

I could be mistaken though.
