2 bazookas for 120 munitions are a bargain right

you mean starting the match with one of the best anti-infatry squads in the game isnt enough in terms of flexibility for okw?

Have you checked coh2 stats?

Volks lose to Rifles at every range. You should probably check on that.

Rifles lose to sturmpios every time if you know how to use sturmpios.
Rear Echalon lose to every starting OKW unit. They have the voley fire ability but even using that ability nobody guarantees that they will realy force retreat, and anyway, their supressing power it's nothing compared to what kubel can do.
If you want to imply that OKW has a weaker start than USF.... then let's say your USF game experience is very very questionable.

Unsurprising given that they're significantly cheaper than rifles. Incidentally, they eventually beat rifles once they vet up - which is pretty easy to do because schreks feed them vet at light speed.

On topic though, while Soviets don't have many munition dumps, USF are probably the most munition-starved faction in the game - largely due to their vast number of expensive (and mandatory) inf and armour upgrades, nevermind their dependence on grenades. Even discounting the incredibly expensive double BARs/bazookas/M1919s and nades on rifles, they need to dump munitions into armour skirts for the M20 and probably several uses of smoke and active abilities on their AT guns/Stuart before they even get to the medium tanks - and then the MG upgrades on those cost more than the Axis' for whatever reason. Hell, to even compete with Obers, which only require MP, Paras need to spend 120 munitions a piece.

If you know how to use rear echelons you're going to win against sturm pios. 1 RE and 1 Rifle squad will wipe out any sturm pio squad quite easily. Sturmpios are expensive to reinforce use that to your advantage.

If you make contact with a sturm pio squad at long range, they'll be dead before they can kill a second rifle model.

AMEN to that. I am easily less biased than this exclusive allied lover guy. I'm playing all faction at least, even if i play Axis more. I like balance and common sense, not bias.

if you are gonna bash someone for his sub-optimal playercard stats, at least show your own

We're not talking about skill. We're talking about the absolutely clear conflict of interest in buffing the Allies. They don't care about balancing the game, they just want their side to win.

Munitions abilites GREATLY Allies Favour.
Fuel units GREATLY Axis Favour.

Assymetric balance. Oh, wait... no balance here.
