USF is horribly designed

I think that officers could be more unique, and T0 could have more variety in units somehow. (Like a jeep or light mortar or something.)

Other than those two things USF is actually really well designed

Cap's interesting enough already, Major could be interesting if any of his munition abilities were actually anywhere near good , LT is boredom though.

I think LT is kind of a beefed up Rifle squad that adds early game pressure. Really though I just think his abilities should be more flavorful. (Maybe some kind of recon with binoculars, or calling in a mortar strike, or drawing enemy fire or something.

USF main design fault is that they dont have tier4 like other faction. The only unit that fit the role is Jackson, which somehow sit on major building with tier3 stats.

There is nothing wrong with USF. May I suggest you watch some replays by good players? You will see that most of them (barring sprice) don't blob, as blobbing is easily countered in the current metagame. LT is quite useful to pour on early aggression. The M20 has fallen out of favor, but the new 50-fu AAHT with 360 degree firing arc is amazing. You just have to make sure to go CPT or drop yourself an AT gun before you go for the major tier.

USF has very decent support weapons that do their role (with the exception of the AT gun, but thats why you have jacksons). Just because riflemen are your core doesn't mean you have to use nothing but them.

If you are bored with the commanders, I would urge you to try ones outside of your comfort zone. All of them besides recon (and to some extent mech) are well put together and have great synergies. Even mech works quite well if you just ignore the M3.

They are horribly designed but they are viable.

USF is unique in a sense of you must take the initiative, put pressure, being aggressive. You just can't sit around and wait for your next tier.

In current game state they are best faction in 1v1, in my opinion. And lol at "LT is bad", LT has a BAR and Thompson which both had nice buff last patch. LT easily beats Sturms in close range.

Thanks for your hints, I´m not the OP but I´m a nooob myself.....but I don´t get this sentece:

USF has very decent support weapons that do their role (with the exception of the AT gun, but thats why you have jacksons).

1. Which decent support weapons??? the pack howi??? because the others support weapons are not as good as the other factions....ATGun struggle to pen, as you confirmed, and then, the HMG with the reinforce costs and their crew dieing like flies, and of course, USF has no mortar soooo....what are those decent support weapons??

2. USF has Jackson because ATG is shit???? I don´t get this.....OH has PAKs (quite better atg than 57mm) and yet, they have STUG, a great TD, and on top of this Panther in T4 (Sure it is hard to get a panther out but yet)


sorry, just curiosity, as I´ve said, noob here so only here to learn....
