Hi there,
now that Easy8 is not a call-ins tank, all the command seems to be overall nerfed. If i spend 120 fuel for major than why I have to choose Easy8 and not a sherman/Jackson?
120 fuel spent on major means that you cannot do LT-->CPT-->easy8 anymore....
Elite Infantry is still viable?

The strength of rifle company was never the e8. Sure, the E8 was a nice bonus, but rifle flamers, elite riflemen, and wp artillery are all still great with good synergies. I expect to see it just as often in the future.

I played a few 1v1 rounds last night as Rifle Company and I still think it's just as good if not better since you don't have to wait for CPs. Sure you have to spend an extra 120 fuel for Major but you have to keep in mind that OST fuel cost to hit T3 increased as well. If you are dominating the fuel war and feeling ballsy you can also try to skip Cpt. and get a fast EZ8. In those cases the combined weapon-rack is a wonderful thing for a Bazooka or two to deal with the inevitable 222.
In general I really like the new patch so far, the prolonged light vehicle play really plays into USF's wheelhouse as far as LT. -> Capt. -> Major progression goes IMO

I don´t like, that EZ8 Replaces normal M4, because M4 is cheaper and better against infantry.

armor is better than rifle now straight up.
M10 no tech and flat out Better than E8 for half the cost.
Ass engy that comes way earlier for anti building flamer. What's the point of blobbing all you rifles with flamer vs targets not in buildings when you can blob all with range friendly bars instead
240 mm late game for concentrated pak walls.
Synergizes with Captain> Stuart unbelievably well.

Riflemen still got squad size, reinforce cost, at nades, longrange DPS. There are still many reasons to use Rifle flamers.

Man I always hated Armor company since ass engies are expensive and drop like flies but I guess I'll have to give it a try again. M10 crush is hilarious though.

Airborne, RE spam into early muni caches+early BARS, pathfinders, fast Captain and then Stuart+ Pack Howie is the best USF BO for early to mid game imo. Armor company gives you absurd lategame potential but without an alternative to Riflemen or REs you will get swamped by superior German infantry.

But the Easy 8 doesn't replace the M4 Sherman, so what are you getting at?
The internal battery has run dry, the game can now be played. However, clock based events will no longer occur.

It's simple a new unit. Less powerful vs infantry than Sherman and less powerful than Jackson vs tank. Before this patch the great advantage was the immediately deploy and "90 fuel less" to get into.
I know that i was 300 in ladder and after the patch I'm 1500. My fault?

We all just need to adapt. If you adapt yo can prove you deserve that rank if not , that rank was inflated by OP USF.

I use elite infantry. Still works fine, just cant go E8 blindly. US tanks are far too late for their old "shock" impact.

It's still perfectly viable. It just lost its "ha-ha you didn't play twice as good as me so I win"-factor.

You are right. But i'm old and very slow to adapt. Now i'm starting to win again, changing a bit my way of play.
