That base arty firing on the squad upgrade didn't look too impressive, the scatter was totally wild.


Well, the idea is to dislocate an enemy position; I would not let an mg team stay in the radius of this barrage and it seems efective vs entrenched infantry and buildings.

Let's be honest here, the IeSG, even at 330 MP, is not an unit that's gonna pay for itself in 75% of the matches; it's slow, has a slow fire rate, an AoE to laugh at and his barrage is terrible. Good range and suppression on hit isn't gonna help vs Brits.


I think it's still way to early to speculate, we have no idea what changes are coming with the other 4 factions. Also, I strongly disagree about the ISG, in my experience that thing is a beast.

yeah the base arty is horrible inaccurate. I've tried to clean some buildings and not a single shell hit the building. Furthermore you need to upgrade your inf (45munition?)

You can just pick royal artillery commander that allows you to barrage enemy in fog of war from this 2 howitzers for 40 munition. Range is unlimited, you can basebarrage opponent with 2 free howitzers for 40 munition whole game with no break.

I don't think we can say much about it right now and there's no need for specualtions about it. We'll find out how it will be at the release. Until then let's just be happy with the good and interesting stuff we have right now. ;)


This. People can take an example of you there mate.

Poor damage and scatter that makes sure you'll be shelling 3 sectors at once.
Relic also scrapped UKF operation idea from what I've seen and I doubt the cost will remain at 40.

The howis aren't able to reliably kill forward medic truck and you're talking about base barraging lol.


Yea.... no.

Heres how its gonna go...

UKF are going to totally destroy all axis factions until relic make enough money selling it, then will eventually tone them down in to some lukewarm version of their idea of balance.


Since theve done it in every faction in DoW 1 and 2. and Coh1 and 2 thus far...



If you want a balanced match vs brits, wait until december. But until then

Paycheck > State of game.

not really brits are expensive difficult to spam more than 4 squads on the field the lack of mp on brit side its truly bad so its prity the horst faction on early game it the lack of inf on the 7mn of the match oster its prity good at 5mn in game vs brits so again you guys going too far for a faction that will rule on middle and long gameplay so all axis faction are doom at 16mn mark matches ^^ so play all your cards on early games vs brits gl hf

Obviously i am talking not about okw fhq bases. Damage is 160, same as ostheer howitzer as i remember. High scatter? So what, it's only 40 munition ability.

I was excessively using the doctrine myself.

Howis barrage is much more of a scarecrow area denial then real threat for anything really.

Some people consider ost lefh a bad unit because of damage and scatter.

Now, imagine you have the scatter 3x bigger.

There, UKF 25 pounders shooting at anything into FoW.

Which has its uses in some cases, think like a really campy Minsk Pocket or Langresaya match. Sometimes getting Paks and MG42s to pack up and move at the right time can make or break an attack. Plus, if you get a random wipe for 40 Muni? I'd say thats money well spent seeing as how 30-35 Muni mines rarely wipe an entire full health squad.

Is it general consensus that Brits are the hardest 1 vs 1 faction, even if they didn't get raped by Sniper?

Don't know if you can have a consensus about something 90% of the playerbase hasn't played.

They will be raped by sniper every game. Quickly players will adapt and spam snipers every time.

No one will play okw.
