Holy necromancy Batman!

I guess someone have been reading thread topics for too long without thinking about what date it was.

Well gren spam is still a problem

Yes, Grens or other long range units spam is still a big problem for Allied.

If Relic can just reduce Cons's pop cap to 4 or 5 then maybe we can make like 2 Cons for each Gren squad in mid-late game and have a better chance to fight back.

That would solve nothing. What would the Wehr players do? Build more grens to compensate!

But Gren is 7 popcap, build more Grens and he won't have enough popcap for tanks and anything else when T-34/85 or ISU etc hit the field, while cons can simply merge with each other whenever you need.

everyone is neglecting the huge MP drain that happens against LMG spam, you just don't kill many of them and they kill shit loads of you as you have to approach them.

Also you cant throw molotovs and have flame on more than one unit, maxims just get rifle naded until lmg's them the lmg's will actually beat them anyway, with tier 3 140 fuel away, its not feasible to use as your gonna face multiple tigers generally he will have loads of MP to spare, I only play 1v1 so I'm talking this game mode.

It is not helpful for you to resurrect threads which are 12 months old. No, really!

Relic have patched approximately 20 times over one year, and for instance, in Spring 2014, the Ostheer suddenly attained the upper hand very obviously against the Soviets, until the nerfbat came with the pre-patch to WFA. This thread could not reflect any of those interim changes.

And as a consequence of this necromancy, a colleague has had to invis a post which was a year old.....(!)

There are only 3 subsequent posts which will be affected by my decision, and those posters can by all means start a fresh thread on the subject, if they wish.

It is time to return to the present....
