With the superpowered LEIG and the mortar halftrack on every game there is no reason, not even single reason to do emplacements as brits.

Been playing around with USF. The Sherman pen buff is awesome. I had a gang of 4 stock Shermans get behind the ass of a King Tiger and blow it away quickly.

The mine doing what it's supposed to for INF company now is awesome. BIG BOOM. I had enemy try to put 3 squads behind a sandbag where I placed the mine, and the explosion was nuclear. Which is kind of crazy considering it's only 30 munitions.

Bar + vet gives Riflemen a solid late game now.

The faction no longer feels super gimped. They feel like how they were designed to be played. Fast, tenacious, aggressive, and adaptable to any situation.

Alright I will be the first person to ever say this but the new partisans are OP. I've been using the for the past few games and they are monsters.

They are too cheap for how effective they are, only 210 manpower. They consistently kill ass grens and sturmpios, and with vet the become monsters. I think the performance may be fine, but they definitely need to be at least 250 manpower.

Rifle blobs are stronger then ever and the two hard counters as MG42 and mortar have been nerfed. Gren's need something done to them or the counters need to be buffed back up.

The flame weapons...wow. Not much else to be said about those.

Ez8 is on crack now. I'm having Pak40 bounce on frontal and even had a Pfaust bounce off of rear armor.

Tiger turret seems to rotate slower then before.

My over all impressions it that OCF is going to be pretty damn lame and 100% blame is on the latest balance patch. There are way too many 'extreme' units now. Vet 3 flame rifles, partyzans, Croc, Centaur, LeGH, Ez8. Lame.

Why in the world are you crying over emplacements? They were OP as fuck.
Look at the buffs received by USF and soviets instead. Gsus they are stupid.

Rifle company tears incoming

MG's havent been touched and the mortar was extremely overperforming, Grens were overperforming due to a bug earlier and are fine.

Flamers are very, very strong indeed.

Tiger has been buffed and the rotation hasnt been touched.

All EZ8 got is more hp.

They are OP because they actually have a purpose and you can't find their VERY obvious flaws? Midgame they are garbage. They are only good when you pop them out as a surprise attack. Once they retreat, and have to start going from the front, it's just a manpower waste. I believe it's something like 35 manpower just to reinforce them, which they die very easily, and not counting the manpower to call in. All while you can get a conscript squad for 20 more manpower that have more utility. All I see now is them actually having a chance as a viable commander. If you are a good axis player, you will make them pay for their commander choice. Put mines in front of doors, boom, no more issue. Or build obers,minefields in back, or mg in back, doing so cripples their only use as the commander. PPSH's were trash before, again at least they can do something now. doubling the dmg isn't that big of a deal when it was nothing before.
