I haven't played this game for about 2 months because honestly I was just sick of it.
I am a hothead and I get very salty if my enemy beats me with something I consider abusive.
The rank system doesn't help either and so I fell many ranks because I had some bad days.
You may ask 'why is he telling that?'. It's because I wanted to do some kind of social experiment.
I haven't played the game but I read about it on this board every day.
I want to write down what I am thinking about the game right now without having a game in > 2 months.
The use of this is to see how 'biased' this board is. I just write what I have been reading the past months without even knowing if it's true or completely wrong.
You can add then your comments what is wrong and what is not.
I take a look at my thoughts for every of the meanwhile 5 factions starting with the newest.
So let's start:
UKF
- UKF commandos are pretty OP. They kill everything in seconds, faster than shock troops.
- Gammon bombs are satchels you cannot dodge.
- Bofors is a SchwPzHQ on steroids. You see it - your squad is dead
- Churchill Croco is the fourth horseman of the apocalypse. You cannot kill it but it burns your army to ashes in seconds.
- UKF sniper is garbage
- UKF suck in 1v1 because they bleed way too much MP to stay competitive.
- Brace makes your emplacements literally invulnerable.
- Churchill AVRE wrecks everything
- Sherman Firefly's Tulips are extremely potent. Otherwise the tank sucks.
- Gliders destroy OKW trucks.
- Vickers MG is a gamebraker as its range is bugged.
- UKF air superiority is still crucial
Soviets
- M5 Quad is a beast. It suppresses and kills in a second.
- Partisans. I don't have to say anything. I've seen the videos.
- Guards seem to be fine now? They were pretty OP back in the days.
- Soviets have to tech T1/T2 -> T3 -> T4 ?
- T34/85 is no call in anymore
- Penals still suck
- SU-85 still sucks
- ML-20 is pretty strong and seen much more often
- SU-76 is overperforming
USF
- Rifles have a much better lategame
- Flak HT can fire 360 noscope
- Easy Eight is much better than before
- Jacksons suck
- Sherman is much better than before
- Flamethrower Rifles wreck everything
- Captain is very strong because his bazookas tend to snipe units
Ostheer
- Sniper is still strong against UKF but got nerfed
- Mortar is useless
- Early pak is extremely important
- Double 222 is favoured by many players
- 222 doesn't need an upgrade
- Ostwind sucks
- Tiger is pretty good again
- Elefant is op (wtf?)
- MG is in the HQ now and costs more while doing less
- StuG is useless again because of the TWP nerf
- LeFH is somehow useful again
- Panther is absolutely necessary atm (mostly against the British Churchills)
OKW
- Volksgrenadiere are the weakest main infantry by far
- Fast (second or third unit) Raketenwerfer is essential against British Universal Carriers
- LeIG is amazing now
- Medic HQ is the new meta
- Overall the weakest faction in the game right now
- Incendiary grenades are op
So these are the things I've caught up in the forum in the last weeks.
Which of them are true and which ones aren't?
Tell me in the comments!
