Honestly, I don't know how this became the current meta, but in absolutely EVERY 1 on 1game (100%) on most maps, every early tactic is simply based around 'how do I get my units inside the "OP" building on the map?'

I'm so sick of this. For example Langreskaya. Rush your infantry to the big house on the right. Semoisky, rush your infantry to the big house at the fuel point in the south. Arnheim, rush your infantry to the church, the big building or the big building in the opposite of the church. Sturzdorf, Cholodny - Everything the same. It's so annoying.

I really like the possibility of entering buildings. But it's just stupid that the early game is how it is right now. Because a MG inside a house (Vickers, MG42 or Maxim) is simply an agony.

Am I the only one really suffering by this?

You forgot the "I neither like or dislike it". ;)

Well, as SU, OST, OKW or even USF you should not have problems with clearing builings to take them for yourself.

Flamers, snipers and mortars for SU, OST.
Incendiary for OKW and SP in the early game.
USF can get nades or flamer for RE.
Only Brits struggle so hard against builings.

Tho you are right that rushing a builings is really stupid meta.

I don't know... An mg in a building can be annoying but it kind of has to be.

On the flip-side, fire mechanics now hardcounter units in buildings.

Wasp hard counters enemy lies in buildings unless they have AT. Other than that, snipers which have 100% chance of hitting them.

In a vacuum this works but the Wasp is overpriced for how it preforms, also its pathfinding and low HP makes the unit impossible to keep alive.

If buildings are the problem then they should improve the counters to buildings, not make them so undesirable that nobody ever dare enter one again.

I do not like it. But I think its fine.

Building meta is more of a map problem. Then overall balance issue.

I agree but its the designed counter for garrisons for UKFs.

+1 I agree, more maps should be balanced. The recent removal of the center building on Faymonville Approach was a step in the right direction

so this is happening in 1v1s as well? the entire team game meta right now is "HMG into important buildings for the first 10 minutes"

Balanced but not realistic with stone buildings

pretty sure MG42, Vickers, Dshk? all out-range snipers while in buildings.

though it could be a bug, I'm seeing MGs fire well outside their "range cone" pretty often.
