What happens in 1 vs 1?Are the poor oppressed allies still 'forced' to use cheese against wehr to deal with OPW.Lol .Talk abt a lame excuse.If ost is ffine,OKW is fine as well and needs buff vs maxim.

"OPW" is the "scourge of God" for Allied and a payback for ostheer current state . But not for long it will. Patch is comming, things will be "balanced" again (AKA allied will be able to safely blob again without fear of overnurfed "OPW"). You'll see. Ah, so manny victories for my USF boys . I'll play "OPW" again when they will balance it back after they will make it shit with this March patch.

Disagree pzgrens don't need more DPS or accuracy at all but survivability,they lose 1/4 dps with first member loss which is quick.Their cost-effectiveness is horrendous which is why u won't see them as AI in competitive matches.

Hm? You can actually do that pretty easily, this is nothing out of the ordinary.

USF man power drain is substantial due to Rifles and Paras's high reinforcement cost. You have to make a decision if you want to spend high amount of man power on a second Paratrooper squad or building another tank, as we all know USF needs multiple medium tanks for 1 KT (not to mention Major huge pop cap).

Certainly it is possible to have two Paras late game, but this means you have lost majority of your Rifles, Lieutenants, Captains and tanks.

You can get Para's at 3 CP, and should be getting them to replace your rifle losses. At only 4 riflemen it's fairly easy to get Para's when they become available.

Like hell if I give a shit about keeping my Rifles around when I get Para's with 1919's or Tompsons.

Hm? Why would you go LT and Cpt with Airborne? Going Cpt with Airborne is unpopular to start with and does not usually synergise well with the doctrine, and getting both Lt and Cpt is a categorically a teching failure on the US players part.
As for the KT....a KT?
I see a KT in one out of 20 games against OKW, give or take and for him to be able to get there you've already lost midgame, not to mention there is also OH.
US is indeed manpower intensive but then again most people tend to micro them rather too aggressively.

Yes 1 squad is fine, but two at 3 CP? You need the man power for tanks/tech.

Jump back to quoted post18 Mar 2015, 17:09 PMWingZero

I should've worded this differently, just saying LT or Capt. I see KT every game that passes 15min mark. You can still win games mid-game vs OKW btw with amazing micro skills lol.

I don't just let them die, but squad wipes happen lol. If your going to replace your infantry later on you replace them with something better if you can.

Still though just lol at CNC having a melt down because we implied USF isn't in fact impossible to play.

EDIT: and he said 4 rifles over the entire period of the game.
